Brief Overview

The player must reach the end of the stage without any weapons while avoiding a Sanitized Octarian Missile Octocopter's Tenta Missiles. Partway through, there will a canned Glooga Dualies main weapon and a canned Splat Bomb sub weapon to pick up.

Checkpoint 1

In the first area, a few crates have to be destroyed by a Sanitized Missile Octocopter's Tenta Missiles. Once these have been destroyed, a key can be collected to unlock a vault containing a launchpad which leads to the second checkpoint.

Checkpoint 2

In the second area, the Tenta Missiles have to hit an Ink Switch. This will move a platform used to proceed. Then missiles have to be dodged until the moving platform gets to another, larger area. Use the missiles to shrink a sponge. Under this are some grates that can fall through where the Glooga Dualies are found. Activate a ride rail to get back to the main area and get to the next part with some more sponges, climbing them leading to the third checkpoint.

Checkpoint 3

In the third area, there are a large group of sponges, which make up the floor. Climb up the sponges to get to the fourth and final checkpoint

Final Checkpoint

The final section involves moving a large platform with more Ink Switches. In the end, a wall can be swum up and leads to the area where the Missile Octocopter is. Once it is defeated, a launchpad will appear, leading to the goal.

Take care to avoid the missiles fired by the Missile Octocopter.
If you're under a roof, you should be safe.
And please watch your step.

Marina's Quotes

Missile Octocopter! Careful—those things can fire on you from a long way off.
Find the key!
Missiles won't be able to hit you if you've got a roof over your head!
This is not a good spot when missiles are being shot at you...
Just a bit more!

Or "missile copter," for short.
Cha-ching! Now where's the vault?
For eels? It can spot you from that far away?!
Oho? Something's here!
From here, you can see there's more ground down there!
Nice! NICE!
