Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The Kid wakes up on a miniature island. Move through the doorway to reveal a staircase.
  2. 2
    Cross the rainbow-colored bridge.
  3. 3
    When you reach a pile of junk, pick up the Cael Hammer with X. Smash obstacles and railings with B. Be careful not to fall off the edge; falling only reduces health slightly. Use A for an evasive roll.
  4. 4
    Proceed up the stairs to a clearing. A Gasfella will appear and pursue you. Defeat it with two or three hits. Its health bar is indicated by a blue ring.
  5. 5
    On the southern end of the clearing, walk towards the edge near floating wooden boards to reveal a path to Fragments. Look for signs of hidden paths like small floating land pieces. Fragments are the game's currency.
  6. 6
    Ascend the stairs and pick up the Fang Repeater. Use X to fire it. It has unlimited ammo and reloads automatically.
  7. 7
    Continue up the staircase and approach the fountain. Press X next to it to gain up to three Health Tonics. Heal with Y if necessary.
  8. 8
    After healing, a school of Squirts will drop down. Defeat them. To the right of the fountain, find Fragments. To the left, find a Crystal Barrette Memento. Then, go past the fountain into the saloon.
  9. 9
    Inside the saloon, walk around and break boxes. Smash Rondy's stone remains until a shield falls from the ceiling. Pick up the Bullhead Shield to equip it automatically. Defend by holding Left Trigger or using the Right Analog Stick.
  10. 10
    A Security turret activates and attacks. Deflect its blue energy balls back at it using the Bullhead Shield by defending just before the projectile hits (Counter ability).
  11. 11
    After destroying the Security, a Health Tonic appears along with white boxes. These crates reveal Windbags, which are weaker versions of Gasfellas.
  12. 12
    Another school of Squirts drops in, accompanied by a green Gasfella. Green Gasfellas have a lunge attack. Defend, heal, and use your ranged weapon to clear out all enemies.
  13. 13
    The Narrator points to a window in the corner of the bar. Break through it to enter the next area.
