Back-Alley Cleanup

Back-Alley Cleanup is the seventh mission of Splatoon 2's single player mode Octo Canyon. It uses many Squee-Gs and Industrial Squee-Gs.

Octo Canyon
The Kettle for this mission is on a platform to the right of Suction-Cup Lookout. To get to it, swim up the platform to the right of the Boss Kettle, and in Squid Form, Use the dash pad, and the kettle is on the platform you land on.

Beginning
The player spawns on top of a walkway leading left, and a pit filled with Octarian ink and three Shielded Twintacle Octotrooper bellow them. Proceeding forward will cause an Industrial Squee-G to break through a set of crates and gives the player an introduction on how they work: they will move to clean up all ink in an area, and can splat enemies. The player is suggested to simply proceed forward via the walkway, but should the player fall into the pit, they can leave via a gusher back to the walkway, or an inkable wall in the crevice housing the Industrial Squee-G the player can climb up. The end of the island has a Ride rail that brings the player to the next checkpoint.

Checkpoint 1
Ink the wall and climb up it before the Squee-G cleans it. Splat the Octotrooper on top, and attract the Industrial Squee-G on the other side with bombs. Hop onto it and attract it to go to the other side. Hit the ride rail and proceed to the next checkpoint.

Checkpoint 2
Hit the gusher to get on top. Walk along the path and defeat the Octotroopers and Shielded Octotroopers on the way. Break the sprinkler ahead, let the Squee-G take care of the mess, and head to the launchpad to the next checkpoint.

Checkpoint 3
Bring the Industrial Squee-G ahead and hop on it. Bring it to the other side so as to get onto the platform with the launchpad. If you fall off, climb onto one of the blocks on the sides or in the middle.

Checkpoint 4
Drop off and splat the two Octotroopers. Head to the right, cross the grate, and climb the structure ahead, splatting the Octocopter and Octotrooper ahead. The top of the structure sits a key and a ride rail to get back. Head to the vault ahead to unleash the Industrial Squee-G. Lure it back to the big platform along the thin passage, move around it, and use the gusher to reach the launchpad to the next checkpoint.

Checkpoint 5
Drop off and get onto the block ahead, to ink and climb up the platform ahead. Splat the Octotrooper and get to the final checkpoint.

Final Checkpoint
Splat the Shielded Octotrooper and break the crates behind it to the right. Grab the key from the crates, unlock the Industrial Squee-G, then either board it or head up the passage on the left and let it scramble with the Shielded Octotroopers and Octotroopers. The player will eventually have to get on the Squee-G to ink and get on the platform with the Zapfish.

"It's an industrial sized Squee-G! That sucker can clean anything!"

"Remember-Industrial Squee-Gs react to ink!"

"You may want to consider feed it a big puddle of orange to keep it occupied."
