Tips
  • The Scythe is recommended for dealing with the water sentries.
  • Use the Scythe's Ultimate Technique to clear out groups of Dung Beetles.
  • Stand near an open cave hole before attacking the Bullet Worm as a safety precaution.
  • Only use Ultimate Techniques on the Bullet Worm; combos are ineffective and dangerous.
  • The Bullet Worm boss battle may require a few tries to get the timing right.
  • Avoid fighting the worms in the Pond Scum area to conserve health items.
