Sullivan in front of a ladder

REMOVE THE FIRST DARKMESS THORN

Sullivan stood in front of the ladder you need to climb to start the quest. Get up there and enter the green pipe.
At the other side, enter the cannon and after arrival, grow a bridge by using the WAVE ability (ZR) on the big purple tile on the floor. Remember you have to tap ZR multiple times for it to work.

Enter the cannon
 Sullivans Despair 4 Terra Flora Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom
and grow a bridge on the other side

Cross over and slide down a ramp. Don’t worry, you’re not at a dead end. Use your yellow scanner to detect a yellow bridge. Cross over to a white pipe and use it.

Scan for a bridge
 Sullivans Despair 6 Terra Flora Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom
and use the pipe on the other side

Up here are two purple tiles. The right one is stabilising the bridges all over. So we have to come back to this one. And the other one is growing a bridge down to the other island. Use them both with the WAVE ability – there is a bridge we have to take soon that needs stabilising – the bridge over to the first Darkmess Thorn. So we don’t have to come back for now.

and then grow a bridge with the other one

Now we can cross the purple bridge over to the Darkmess Thorn and destroy it by using the purple WAVE ability (ZR) multiple times on the WAVE tile.

and destroy the first Darkmess Thorn

REMOVE THE SECOND DARKMESS THORN

The first Darkmess Thorn is destroyed. Now for the second one, climb the ladder to the right. Up there, grow another bridge with your WAVE ability.

Next climb the ladder to the right

Grow another bridge up there

There are two cannons on the other side of this grown bridge. One is blocked and requires the yellow circle key. So, use the other cannon. Aw! The purple bridge up here needs to be stabilised so we can cross! There is another bridge that you can grow on the other side. Do it!

Enter the cannon
 Sullivans Despair 14 Terra Flora Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022 | camzillasmomcom
Alright another bridge then

Cross this new bridge! Now you’re back at the bridge stabilising tile from before. Use WAVE on it to stabilise the other bridge. Go back the same bridge you came from and you can now cross the purple bridge to the Darkmess Thorn. Destroy it with your purple WAVE ability.

Now you can remove the second Darkmess Thorn

REMOVE THE THIRD DARKMESS THORN

The second Darkmess Thorn is destroyed and you can now pick up the yellow round key that will unblock the clogged cannon. Do so and jump down the ledge to cross over to said cannon.

Cannon is free to use

On the other side, use the bridge stabiliser purple tile with WAVE and cross the only stable purple bridge. On the other side of the bridge, scan the yellow wave sign on the rock with your yellow scanner and you should find a yellow bridge. Cross it and on the other side also cross the purple bridge.
