Octoling Strike

Octoling Strike is the ninth mission in Splatoon 2's single-player mode, Octo Canyon and is the first mission to encounter a group of Octolings, the Octarian equivalent of Inklings. It takes place on a modified form of The Reef as it was before Version 4.2.0.

Octo Canyon

The Kettle for this mission is on a tower in the back left corner of Suction-Cup Lookout. To get to it, pop the Balloon Fish on the back left tower, then find, ink, and swim up a sponge. Use the dash pad, and swim up the ink from popping the balloon fish, and the player will land on top of the tower, where the player will find the kettle.

The Mini Zapfish are ordered here in terms of accessibility from the spawn and other Mini Zapfishes.

Mini Zapfish 1

Guarded by an Octoling right in front of the player's spawn, below the tree.

Mini Zapfish 2

Turn left at the tree near the player's spawn and defeat the two Octolings in the way. The Mini Zapfish is guarded by the second Octoling, with the bridge and splash walls near it.

Mini Zapfish 3

Turn left at the armor near spawn and break the crates to find an Octoling guarding the Mini Zapfish. Alternatively, take a left turn at Mini Zapfish 2 or take a left turn at the wall behind Mini Zapfish 2 and use the sponge to reach Mini Zapfish 3.

Mini Zapfish 4

From Mini Zapfish 2, go straight and drop off the ledge to reach Mini Zapfish 4. An Octoling will super jump near the player while they approach the Mini Zapfish.

Mini Zapfish 5

From Mini Zapfish 1, drop off the ledge and go straight to reach Mini Zapfish 5. Alternatively, take the elevated path on the right side of the map or drop off the bridge on the right side in the middle of the map.

Mini Zapfish 6

From Mini Zapfish 5, ink and climb up the sponge ahead to find Mini Zapfish 6, an Octoling guarding it, and a crate containing a canned Splat Bomb Rush.

Mini Zapfish 7

From the bridge to the right is an elevated block with a ramp leading up to it to its left. Sitting on top is the Mini Zapfish and an Octoling guarding it.

Mini Zapfish 8

The Mini Zapfish is located right in front of the enemy spawn, on the platform behind and above the tree. An Octoling sits near the tree, and an Elite Octoling waits at the spawn, both will approach you when you get close. Players may take the vertical dash panel next to the ramp of Mini Zapfish 7, along the path on the left side of the map from Mini Zapfish 2, or bust through the crates near Mini Zapfish 6.

Octolings!
Wait, that's...a Mini Zapfish.
Apparently eight Mini Zapfish combined have the power output of one normal Zapfish.
Seek out those pillars of light, and recover the Mini Zapfish.
Good. We'll have all eight in no time.
There's an enemy hiding in the ink! Look sharp.
There's number two.
That's the third one.
Four down. You're halfway there.
Gotta check every last corner if you're gonna find all eight.
The ones with kelp on their heads are extra tough. Show them no mercy!
Number seven. Just one more!
That ink is deeper than it looks.
