GRUMBLING GROTTOS [0307]

Pick up the Heart at the level entrance and run underneath the swarm of Locusts. Punch the first bronze light to create a force field of light, sealing out the Locusts. Purple hieroglyph lights can also be used to protect yourself. Activate the lights and hop along the brown platforms. Collect Lums on the wooden ledge.

Hover through the hieroglyph lights down to the floor. Punch the bronze cyclops light; this light travels with you and slowly shrinks. Make sure you are not in enemy territory when it disappears.

Punch the cyclops light and run left, pummeling the Bulb-o-Lums. Double back and run up the ramp. Run through the pile of feathers and wall jump outside.

Hit the cyclops light underneath you (left of the door), then drop under the platform and float over to the first [SKULL COIN]. Wall jump and float back to safety before your force field disappears.

Another [SKULL COIN] is in this same area, above the door. Use one of the two brown islands to reach the high ledge and the coin.

Jump onto a floating platform to make a Lum King appear. Float over to the wooden floorboard and ground pound through it. Grab the singing red Lums as you bounce on the drum until they are all collected. Perform a super bounce on the drum slanted towards the right to reach the wall. Wall jump back and forth and enter the door at the top.

~~ HIDDEN ROOM ~~ Inside a temple, use the moving hieroglyph lights to avoid hitting the Locusts. Stay inside the light barrier until you reach the [HIDDEN CAGE] and the three Red Birds. Smash the birds and free the Electoons inside the cage.

Drop back down and walk right. Use the large drum to reach the other side of the wall, then bounce over the pile of Spiked Birds. Take the high road: hit the cyclops light and run through the Locust swarm to the right. Float across the pit towards another [SKULL COIN] and fall to the ground below.

Replenish your light source ahead and wall jump to the wooden gate. Tear it down and run right; you can activate the bronze lights if you wish, but you should have sufficient protection. Jump across the floating islands to the purple hieroglyph lights, then glide down to exit the indoor area.

A [SKULL COIN] is to the left, surrounded by Locusts. Your light shield is likely gone. There is a bronze light to your left, almost out of reach. Perform an aerial kick to activate it without touching the Locusts. While the light is active and full, quickly jump over to the coin and back before the light shrinks and you get hurt.

In the next area, punch the cyclops light and rustle through the feathers to uncover a Lum King and other Lums. Grab them all while shielded and pick up the Heart inside the flask.

Enter another ruin entrance with a switch. Press it as the hieroglyph lights begin moving around the nearby square stones. Follow these moving lights to stay out of harm's reach.

Activate the cyclops light on the second square stone and fall to the ground. To your left is a [SKULL COIN] behind a moving wall. Jump over the wall as it lowers and pick up the coin, then lean against the wall and wall jump back over. Punch the same cyclops light and sprint right. When you reach a stack of two squares, wait for the lights to move in place as you scale them both. Glide through the safe path ahead to reach the sandy floor and escape the ruins.

Outside, bounce on the drum to grab onto an offscreen Swingman. Jump left and leap up to the ledge, then proceed through the secret door.

~~ HIDDEN ROOM ~~ Hop on Moskito and fly through the Locust-filled ruins. Target the bronze lights to create a safe haven. Three Red Birds fly in a circle, each encased in a circle of light. Shoot them all, then take their place in one of the circles. Shoot the tilted drum in the corner to break the wooden panels on the floor, then loop back around and enter the hole to reach the [HIDDEN CAGE].

Enter the next room. Use the drum to grab the Heart and Lums, then enter the Locust field. Use the cyclops lights as pit stops to refuel your light source while running through the chamber. Exit through the door.

In the final room, use the drums and moving islands to defeat the four Red Birds and open the [HIDDEN CAGE] at the top.
