Midnight Burrows

First Path: From the Spirit Well in Inkwater Marsh, head west and dive into the lake to swim east for a Spirit Orb. Continue west, pass a billboard, and use projectile bashing to platform upwards. Head east to find a hidden area with another Spirit Orb. Continue upwards to reach Luma Pools. Return to the Spirit Well, head east, and use the grappling hook on flowers to reach a platform with a Life Cell Fragment. Jump onto the fallen tree, go west, pass spikes, and swim to the left corner for a Gorlek Ore. Head east, bash the lantern to reach the platform above for an Energy Cell Fragment. Descend to the starting torch area, go further down, head west to the billboard.

Second Path: Reach Midnight Burrows by swimming against the current in the waterwheel area. Proceed down, dive into the lake after the Mortar Worm, burrow through sand, and glide over spikes to the east for a Gorlek Ore. Continue down, burrow through sand into a large area. Defeat enemies that appear, and the right path will open. Climb the vine to get a Spirit Shard (spends life to cast spells when out of energy). Head down to reach the billboard.

Billboard Area: From the billboard, head down to find a Volatile Caterpillar and Spiderling. Jump down, glide over spikes, and bash lanterns to proceed to a cliff. Climb the right wall and bash the Mortar Worm's projectiles to reach the platform above for a Spirit Orb. Jump down to a lake. Bash the Mortar Worm's projectiles or swim dash to get a Spirit Orb and cross to the other side.

Music Puzzle and Spirit Tree: Climb the platform and go east to find Tokk. He will mention a music puzzle. To unlock the path to the right (leading to a Spirit Tree), bash the flowers in this order: Left, Middle, Right, Right, Left, Middle, Left. Enter the room and absorb the Spirit Tree's light to get the Ancestral Light (attacks deal 25% more damage). To unlock the path downwards, bash the flowers in this order: Left, Right, Left, Middle, Left, Right, Right, Middle, Left.

Descent to Midnight Burrows: Glide down to Midnight Burrows. Avoid spikes and Mortar Worms. Spot Lupo in a room on the right. Land and go west to find a Spirit Well to save. Proceed east to an area with spikes and portals. Jump and glide to the portal below the platform, then fall onto the bottom portal. Use the momentum to gain height and grab a Keystone. Repeat the process to climb the wall.

Keystone Collection: Jump down again onto the portal below and reach the left portal above. Proceed to Lupo, who sells the map of Midnight Burrows for 250 spirit light. Return to the platform above the portal. Defeat the Volatile Caterpillar and Mortar Worm. Go upwards to reach the Spirit Gate and a room with a Spirit Shard on the right.

Portal Navigation: In the next area with many portals, use your map to navigate. Jump on the second portal below your current position to reach the other side. Choose either the upper or lower portal to fall into the bottom center of the room. Go right and jump onto the portal ahead to land on a platform with a lever. Pull the lever, and a tree will be pulled upwards. Throw a fireball to reach the platform above for a Keystone.

Gate and More Portals: Platform back by bashing lanterns and enter the portal on the west. You'll reach a platform with a lever. Pull it to open a timed path. Hurry back to the portal, enter the bottom area, bash the lantern, and enter the portal on the right to emerge in front of the opened gate.

Final Keystone: Enter the area with a Volatile Caterpillar and Snapping Vine. Defeat them and proceed east to 3 portals. Jump on the first lower portal, then fall on the second. Jump over spikes, get a Keystone, and break the wall to open a path back to Inkwater Marsh.

Infinite Fall Area: Return to the area where you defeated the Caterpillar. Use the portals again, but when you reach the portal leading to the Keystone, fall back to reach the wall above. Climb it to an area with infinite fall. Proceed west, gliding to avoid spikes, to reach a Keystone. Return to the room full of portals. Go to the entrance platform and enter the first portal below it to reach a vertical log.
