Relic Restoration

"This mission will introduce you to the hobby of extreme face painting."

- O.R.C.A. describing the stage

Relic Restoration is the 10th mission in Splatoon 3's story mode, Return of the Mammalians.

Description
This level takes place on a single large island. A large moai statue replica stands in the center of the island, which the player must completely cover in ink. Four octagonal propeller lifts are spaced around the edges of the island.

Access
Near What Caused the Big Bang? YOU!, there is a climbable wall that is covered in Fuzzy Ooze. Go behind it and climb up to the higher point in this site. Go a few steps back at that altitude, and you'll find the level.

Checkpoint 1
The player enters the level and has to ride a Ride Rail to get to the island. They then has to take all this time to paint the moai's face using the Explosher. Once more than 20% of the statue is inked, O.R.C.A. will provide the player with two layers of floating platforms surrounding the statue, allowing them to more easily paint areas not accessible from the ground. The propeller lifts can be used to navigate these platforms. Once the statue is sufficiently inked, a launchpad will appear on the ground that leads the player to the goal. Whenever the player super jumps to the area with the goal, the floating platforms will lower, showing a better view of the completed statue. Climbing to the top of the statue will reward the player with a Power Egg pack.

"I guess you're just supposed to ink it up? I don't ask questions."

"I'd say you're about halfway there. Keep it up!"

"Keep it up! Cover as much as you can with ink!"

"What's THAT supposed to mean?!"

"Hey, nice work! Really good coverage."

"And I thought Callie had a big head!"

"You aren't afraid of heights, are you? Agent 3?"

"Who taught Agent 3 to ink this well? Surely it wasn't Agent 1..."

"Actually...yeah! Looks good."
