★ The Bog — illustrated walkthrough
1. Drop through the entrance shaft

Check the vertical passage near the bog entrance. Drop through the shaft with bubbles, then consult the map for lower branches before continuing horizontally.
2. Check below the right-hand platform

Drop from the right edge of the grassy platform and inspect the glowing pickup near the pot below. An enemy remains above, so check your landing first.
3. Speak with Ilda

Speak with Ilda on the platform with large wagon wheels in the background. Finish her dialogue about the palace above, then inspect the surrounding passages.
◆ A trinket-slot pickup in the shaft

A trinket-slot pickup lies along the upward rebound through the narrow shaft. Use the accompanying minimap to locate the room and inspect this upward branch.
4. The timed room with floor spikes

In the brick-walled timed challenge, check platform spacing and floor spikes. Choose safe landings before continuing through the jumps.
◆ A glowing pickup on a small platform

On returning to the bog, check the glowing pickup on the small platform in the narrow passage. Watch the low ceiling and establish a safe landing before moving onward.
5. Ilda beside the campfire

Speak with Ilda again beside the campsite fire. Her roadside conversation and campfire conversation occur at separate locations; check both.
★ The Bog — illustrated walkthrough

Consult the map for pale-yellow bog rooms, the blue area to the right and the player marker. Recheck horizontal passages and upward branches; black space remains unexplored.
6. Watch the large skull during the fight

Watch the large skull moving into the arena. Track its direction and preserve room to dodge sideways instead of focusing only on nearby targets.
※ Watch both the ground and the swarm above

The grounded skull, overhead swarm and round attacks from the right can threaten you together. Check the ground and space above before repositioning.
7. Revisit walls after the climbing tutorial

Complete the climbing tutorial at the nest platform after the fight. Hold jump against a wall to climb; stamina is limited and recovers on solid ground, so plan stops on stable platforms.
→ Revisit the high route beside the purple tent

Return to the purple tent and save. Use Climb to revisit previously inaccessible high walls and upper branches.
