It’s an Ill Wind that Blows – Easy Story Quest Walkthrough

Here’s what you need to do in the It’s an ill Wind that Blows Story Quest at Barrendale Mesa.

JOURNEY TO THE WINDMILL

This landing area is a bit special, since you won’t see a ship there at Barrendale Mesa. Instead, there is a small white Rabbid Balloon attached to a round bright blue platform that is your connection to the spaceship.

Your first task is to get rid of the Darkmess Puddle called THE DESERT RIPTIDES that is in your way.

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 4 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — Slide up the pipe

Up at the other end, there is a purple unstable bridge. Use the upgraded WAVE ability on the big purple tile to stabilise the bridge and cross it.
This will make the second purple bridge unstable, but there is another big purple tile after the first bridge. Use WAVE on the second tile and you can cross the second bridge. Then, go through the big round entrance at the back.

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 5 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — The first big purple tile

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 6 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — and the second one ahead

Inside, you can activate the INDUSTRIAL AREA FLAG and you have to fight another Darkness Puddle called DANGER, KEEP OUT!

ENTER THE WINDMILL SITE

You’ve just defeated the Darkmess at the Industrial Area entrance. Head up the ramp and climb the ladder close to the green pressure plate.
Up on the container, scan for a yellow bridge across and cross the bridge.

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 7 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — Climb the ladder up the green container

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 8 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — Scan for a bridge to get across

On the other side is a blue box that will go onto a blue pressure plate. Push it down the container and onto the pressure plate.

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 9 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — Push the blue box down the ledge

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 10 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — Then onto the pressure plate

Enter now the white pipe next to it that you just freed from Darkmess.
Up here you can continue to follow the path. Straight ahead and up a ladder at the end.

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 11 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — All the way to the back

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 12 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — Up the ladder

CONNECT THE CIRCUIT

After you’ve climbed the ladder, climb another ladder straight away and from there another one to the top.
A cutscene will greet you and tell you that you’re at the right place. Because now you have to connect the circuit.
Do you see the shiny blue line? That’s the energy that has to travel all the way to the other end of the floor. There are 3 parts of different shape to use and a rotating device.

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 13 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — Now climb those two ladders up to towards the windmill

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 14 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — At the top The blue energy line 3 parts to fix it and a rotator

Pick up the straight part and place it inside the first round gap. Rotate the part if you must. The energy travels to the next area.
Now pick up the “T”-shaped part and put it into the opening. Again, rotate it until the energy flows through all 3 openings.

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 15 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — The straight part Rotate with the lever next to it

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 16 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — The T Shaped part Also has a rotator

Take the last part and put it into the last opening. Rotate it until the energy flows.
After the cutscene, use the big Rabbid Screen to move the crane.

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 17 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — The last part into the last socket

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 18 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — Now the screen has energy and can be used

Rotate it all the way to the right. The green container that is hanging from the crane is now helping to build a bridge. You can now cross over there! Just leave the crane in that position, climb down the two ladders again and cross over.

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 19 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — The crane puts a container just at the right position

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 20 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — so we can cross

Climb down at the other side, fight the fiends in the way and you’ll see there is another energy fixing puzzle ahead!
This time, there are only two areas with two parts that need to be fixed. One on ground level and the other one level up. Both energy flows need to go up! So the first one on ground level is the part with the 90 degree angle. Place it and rotate it so the energy flows in parallel to the other energy line. Then, take the straight part, go up the ramp and place it into the gap. Rotate it so the energy flows.

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 21 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — The angled part in position

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 22 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — The straight part still has to be rotated

After this, a bridge is activated and you can cross over. But don’t forget the yellow cube that is lying in front of the bridge! Take it with you and place it in the yellow cube device just across the bridge. The white tube next to the device is now open and you can go back to the above area to get the angled part out of the socket! Since the bridge is not needed anymore due to a nice white pipe, we can take this part out again!
Take it, go back up by taking the white pipe and put it into the socket there!

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 23 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — The cube for the device across the bridge

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 24 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — Use the tube to get the previous angled part

Now back across the bridge, put the angled part into the socket and rotate it so that the energy can flow.
We’re not finished yet, since the energy is not flowing. Now we need to go back the white pipe and put the previous straight part into the socket where the angled part just was. Rotate it and this should do the energy trick! The bridge has energy and we can cross it!

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 25 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — The angled part from before now up here across the bridge

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 26 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — The straight part goes into the socket where the angled part was

REACH THE RABBID PIPE AREA

Across the bridge, grab the orange box and pull it onto the orange pressure plate. Now the white pipe is unclogged and you can enter it.
Up here, there is a bridge, but it is not long enough to cross… so back to the crane. Go left from the pipe exit up the ramp and you will get to the crane again.

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 27 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — Move the box onto the pressure plate

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 28 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — Just up the ramp and youre at the crane again

Rotate it to the middle, so you can cross the bridge now and fight the Darkmess Puddle called MAGIKOOPA MAYHEM ahead.
Gargantu-Fan Spark will join you after this fight.

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 29 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — The crane is now in the middle

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 30 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — We can cross the bridge to the Darkmess Puddle

UNFOLD THE LADDER ON TOP OF THE CRANE

After the fight, enter the white pipes at the other side to get to the Barrendale Pipes Area Flag.
Climb down the ladder. Puzzle area ahead! The goal is to move the green box onto the Green pressure plate and the orange box onto the orange pressure plate. There is also another energy puzzle with 3 parts.

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 31 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — Move the box onto the pressure plate

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 32 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — Just up the ramp and youre at the crane again

There are 3 bridges you can energize individually. First, we need to do the bridge to the left, so we can climb up a ladder and move the orange box onto the orange pressure plate. Put the t-shaped part into the first slot and rotate it so the energy flows through all the openings. This will light two of the three bridge lights of the bridge to the left.

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 33 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — The bridge to the left The energy has to go here

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 34 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — The first part into the socket

Go get the straight part and put it into the socket next to the previous one. The energy needs to flow straight up to the bridge.
Now cross the bridge and climb the ladder up.

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 35 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — The straight part into the second socket

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 37 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — Cross the bridge and up the ladder

Drop the ladder on the other side.

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 38 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — This is the box we have to move soon

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 39 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — And drop the ladder

Grab the box and drop it down onto the green line (where we just dropped down a ladder). Move it onto the green triangle pressure plate.

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 40 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — Drop the box down the ledge

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 41 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — Put it onto the green triangle pressure plate

You can now use the white pipe to the right. Which means, we can now activate the bridge to the right to get the blue triangle key stone.
First, we send the energy from the left bridge to the right. To do this, we have to swap the straight part with the angled part in the second slot.

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 42 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — Remove the straight part

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 43 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — and replace it by the angled part

Now take the straight part and slide with it through the white pipe to the right, where you can put the straight part into a power slot. Rotate the part so the power flows.
The bridge is now crossable. Climb down the ladder and take the blue triangle key stone. Carry it across the bridge and drop it somewhere safe.

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 44 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — Go up the pipe with the straight part

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 45 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — With the active bridge carry the triangle key across

Next, lower the big WAVE block down with your WAVE ability. Put the movable box for the pressure plate and the blue triangle key on top of it and send it back up.
Climb up the ladder that we’ve dropped previously and move the box onto the yellow pressure plate.

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 46 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — Put the box and the triangle key onto the elevator

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 47 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — Move the box onto the pressure plate

The white pipes are accessible now. Take the blue triangle key and slide down the pipe and place it in the barrier device. The barrier drops.

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 48 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — With the triangle key slide down the pipe

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 49 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — Place it into the device

Now we need to send all the energy to the back, where the barrier was. One lamp is already on. We just have to sort out the two others.
Go up to the area where the box is – here comes the mean part – it needs to go back to the green pressure plate. So move the box again to the ledge, drop it and pull it onto the green pressure plate, as we did above.
Now the white pipes are open again and you can go get the straight part. Put it somewhere safe.

Now we need to swap the t-shaped part with the angled part so the energy is flowing all the way to the left. Just like in the screenshot.

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 50 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — Retrieving the straight part

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 51 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — Angled part to the right t shaped part to the left

Now we just need to get the straight part to its place.
Lower the WAVE Block again with your WAVE ability and put the box and the straight part on top.

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 52 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — Box and straight part now on top of the WAVE block

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 53 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — Move the box back onto the orange pressure plate

Take the straight part, slide down the white pipe and put it into the power slot behind the dropped barrier.
Rotate it so the power flows. Now the bridge at the far end is out.

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 54 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — Put the straight part inside

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 55 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — rotate it

Time go cross that bridge! Go up the ramp and take all the white pipes up that you can find!
At the top, go along the arm of the crane (the one with the long yellow line) and drop the ladder! Yay!

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 56 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — Take all the white pipes up that you can see

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 57 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — On the top of the crane Drop the ladder

GET TO THE WINDMILL

Slide down the green pipe at the top of the crane, go to the controls and rotate the crane to the left. Now you can go on top of the crane again and cross over to the windmill.
Activate the Barrendale Windmill Flag and destroy the Darkmess Tentacle on the Windmill!

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 58 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — Slide down the green pipe

Its an Ill Wind that Blows 59 Barrendale Mesa Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom — Move the crane to the left

The Windmill is now clear of Darkmess and you’ve finished the Story Quest. All you need to do now is return to Momma’s Garage and have a final fight at the Garage.
