Ink from Above Station

Ink from Above Station is a mission in the Octo Expansion.

Gameplay
Agent 8 must reach the end of the stage while avoiding a Missile Octocopter's. Partway through, Agent 8 can pick up the and s.

The first area has Agent 8 using the Tenta Missiles to destroy a few crates. Once these have been destroyed, they can grab a key to unlock a vault containing a launchpad.

The second checkpoint has the player using the Tenta Missiles to hit an Ink Switch. This will move a platform to where Agent 8 is standing. They then have to dodge missiles until the moving platform gets to another, larger area. Here, they use the Missiles to shrink a Sponge Block. Under this is some grates that the player can fall through where the Glooga Dualies are found. Then, they can activate a ride rail to get back to the main area. Agent 8 can get to the next part with some more sponges.

The third area is a large group of sponges, which make up the floor. The player must be careful not to have the sponges be shrunk by Missiles while they are on them. Here, they can also pick up Splat Bombs. To get to the next section, they have to climb up a lot of sponges. Once again, Agent 8 must be careful not to have the sponges shrink while they are swimming up them.

The final section involves moving a large platform with more Ink Switches. Once they get it to the end, they can swim up a wall and get to the area where the Missile Octocopter is. Once this is defeated, a launchpad will appear, leading them to the goal.
