Stage 10: Inkrail Skyscape

When advancing across these adjoining platforms, build up speed along the Inkrail, then jump toward the center of the platform. Speed is essential for reaching the center, launching your squid high into the air. But watch out for enemies—the first platform is patrolled by a lone Octotrooper. Two Octodivers are hiding on the second platform. So immediately after jumping, return to Inkling form and open fire on the enemies.

Sunken Scroll When you reach the wall with three parallel Inkrails, jump to the middle Inkrail and follow it around the back of the platform. This leads to a hidden area where you can retrieve the level’s Sunken Scroll.

On this platform you’re completely surrounded by eight Octotroopers. Fortunately, there are two Inkzookas nearby to help you out of this tight spot. Grab one of the Inkzookas, then duck behind one of the ramps in the center of the platform for cover. Activate the Inkzooka and peek out of cover while rapidly targeting the Octotroopers. There’s no need to save these Inkzookas, so you might as well use them both here. Splat as many Octotroopers as possible with the first Inkzooka, then grab the other one and continue firing.

Ride the Inkrail to the final platform. Each of the three pillars are connected by Inkrails—they’re also guarded by Octotroopers. Speed along the Inkrail toward each pillar, then jump before the Inkrail terminates. If you jump while moving along the Inkrail at high speed, you’ll launch yourself high into the air, flying above the Octotrooper. While in mid-air, aim down and open fire on the Octotrooper before you land. If you act quickly, you can splat the Octotroopers before they can retaliate. Continue along the Inkrails until you reach the Zapfish in the center.
