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.

| camzillasmomcom
Enter the cannon…
| 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.

| camzillasmomcom
Scan for a bridge…
| 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.

| camzillasmomcom
Use the purple bridge stabiliser tile…
| camzillasmomcom
…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.

| camzillasmomcom
Cross the purple bridge…
| camzillasmomcom
…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.

| camzillasmomcom
Next climb the ladder to the right.
| camzillasmomcom
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!

| camzillasmomcom
Enter the cannon.
| 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.

| camzillasmomcom
Use the bridge stabiliser again!
| camzillasmomcom
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.

| camzillasmomcom
Pick up the round key.
| camzillasmomcom
Get down to the clogged cannon.

The device for unlocking the cannon is just below it. Go down there, put in the round key and enter the cannon.

| camzillasmomcom
The Key Device just underneath the clogged cannon.
| camzillasmomcom
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.

| camzillasmomcom
Another bridge stabiliser to use.
| camzillasmomcom
Discover the yellow bridge.

Use WAVE to remove the third Darkness Thorn, then use the cannon to go defeat the Darkmess Puddle!
At the end of the fight you’ll get the Oozer Master Spark and the “A different Appreciation” memory.

| camzillasmomcom
The last Darkmess Thorn…
| camzillasmomcom
…and finally the Darkmess Puddle fight!
