[[File:Inkrail Skyscape Kettle.jpg|frameless|350px|left]] As entering Area #3, Head right and there are 2 steep ramps. Use the ramps, jump on the platform nearest to [[Agent 3]], then jump to the left where there is more platform. Another ramp can be found, leading Agent 3 to swim up the wall. Swim up the wall and reveal the hidden [[Kettle]].
When entering [[Area 3]], head right and find two steep ramps. Use the ramps, jump on the platform nearest to you, then jump to the left where there are more platforms. Another ramp can be found, so swim up the wall and reveal the hidden [[Kettle]].
When you start, you will first see an [[Inkrail]]. Swim through it and you will end up on a small island with two curved ramps and a [[Twintacle Octotrooper]] will be waiting for you there. Splat it, and then use the Inkrail to get to the next area.
[[File:Inkrail Skyscape-Checkpoint 1 Twintacle Octotrooper Attack .jpg|frameless|left|325px]] The [[Inkrail]] from the '''Beginning Checkpoint''' will take you to a rectangular platform with a [[Spawn Point|Checkpoint]], a new [[Inkrail]], and a [[Twintacle Octotrooper]] on top. The original Inkrail wraps around the platform and can be used to stealthily splat the awaiting Twintacle Octotrooper. Once the Twintacle Octotrooper has been defeated take the new Inkrail and head on over to Sector 2.
This bit is similar to the first one, except that there will be two [[Octodiver]]s hiding in the [[ink]]. Using the same method as in Sector 1, jump up from the Inkrail and splat them. The inkrail to Checkpoint 2 is in the middle.

From there you will be on a platform with another Inkrail. It takes you under another platform and goes through a grate in the middle of it. Jump off it, then splat the two [[Twintacle Octotrooper]]s riding around it. Then a [[Launchpad]] will appear.
'''Location:''' At the third checkpoint, behind the second wall. When you hit the third checkpoint, go up the first wall using the [[Inkrail]]. Splat the two enemies, then activate the three Inkrails leading up the wall. Instead of jumping up, get in the second Inkrail and follow it around the wall to find a platform with the scroll on it.
Swim through the [[Inkrail]] and then you will drop off to the middle of a circular platform surrounded by water with a 'ring' on the outside. There will be some [[Octarian]]s on the outside of the platform. There will be two small curved platforms with [[Inkzooka]]s on top of them. Take them. Then you can either use the Inkzooka to splat the Octarians from the middle, or ink the sides of the ring with the Octarians then swim, jump and climb up it so that you are on the same platform as the [[Octarian]]s. Once all of the Octotroopers have been splatted, a launchpad will appear to the final checkpoint in the middle. If you jumped to the outer ring, you'll have to paint the walls to jump back to the middle.

Instead of swimming towards the end of the Inkrail and dropping onto the middle platform, stay above the outer platform and lob a few [[Splat Bomb]]s onto it. If the timing is correct the Splat Bombs should take out one of the Twintacle Octotroopers. Once the Twintacle Octotrooper has been defeated drop down to the outer ring and precede to take out the remaining Octarians (4x Octotroopers and 3x Twintacle Octotroopers). Once the final Octarian has been defeated make your way over to the launch pad.
Swim through the [[Inkrail]] that is in front of you to get to a large area with three towers. The inkrail will take you to the first one. Jump off it then splat the [[Octotrooper]] on it. Repeat for the next tower and on the third tower a [[Twintacle Octotrooper]] will be waiting for you. Splat it and then swim up onto the final tower, which will have the [[Zapfish]]. Burst its shield then take it!

*The [[Inkrail]] from Checkpoint 5 to the Final Checkpoint briefly goes underneath a structure from which a unique tune can be heard, distinct from the [[mission]]'s normal music. It sounds similar to the jingle played by the tower in [[Tower Control]]. This tune can also be heard at the beginning and end of [[Spinning Spreaders]].
