Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze eGuide Walkthrough Island 4: Sea Breeze Cove

Stage 4-4: Irate Eight

Stage Basics

This map includes many of the elements you encountered in previous underwater stages, but it also contains some unique hazards. Watch out for the proximity mines scattered throughout the map—when a triggered mine detonates, it flings four bits of explosive shrapnel through the area. This stage also holds a giant octopus. As you move through each area, take care to avoid this massive creature’s tentacles.

Climb the vine near the start of the map to find the bonus room hidden at point 1.

Once you enter the bonus room, you have 30 seconds to collect all of the available bananas. If you succeed, a Puzzle Piece appears near the center of the area.

Swim near one of the mines at point 2 until it starts blinking, then dash away to get clear of the impending explosion.

The explosion destroys all of the nearby mines and blasts a hole in the large block at the top of the path. Swim through the opening, then collect the bananas that appear to reveal a Puzzle Piece.

The first KONG Letter is floating between the mines at point 3. Grab the K, then Corkscrew away from the mines and avoid any incoming shrapnel.

Swim behind the large slab of coral at point 4 to find a hidden area.

After the coral drops away, swim through the revealed Puzzle Piece and loop back to the main path.

The second KONG Letter floats at point 5. Launch yourself through the O as you move between the Barrel Cannons.

There’s a bonus room hidden at point 6. Wait for the nearby tentacle to move away from the passage, then hurry inside.

Once you enter the bonus room, you have 30 seconds to collect all of the available bananas. If you succeed, a Puzzle Piece appears near the center of the area.

The third KONG Letter is floating at point 7. Clear out the circling enemies, or simply slip between them and collect the N on your way through the area.

The last KONG Letter is located at point 8. Swoop down and grab it as you negotiate the nearby mines.

Swim behind the large slab of coral at point 9 to find a hidden area.

After the coral drops away, collect the revealed Puzzle Piece, then hurry back up to the main path.
