Step 3: Locate the Sunken Grotto Entrance

Locate the Sunken Grotto entrance in Ball x Pit. Prepare for new enemies and environmental hazards, and defeat the Greater Pit Grunt guarding the way.

Continue through the Upper Reaches until you reach a large, cavernous opening marked by glowing blue fungi. This is the entrance to the 'Sunken Grotto'. Before entering, ensure your health is full and you have at least 2-3 healing potions. There's usually a small 'Resting Shrine' nearby where you can replenish your health and potions, but it will respawn all nearby enemies. If you're low on 'Glimmering Dust', consider farming a few more Pit Grunts before proceeding. The Grotto introduces new enemy types and slightly more complex environmental hazards. The entrance itself is guarded by a 'Greater Pit Grunt', a tougher version of the standard grunt with more health and a wider attack arc. Dodge his overhead slam and counter-attack.
