Stage 13: Shifting Splatforms

Watch your step as you advance across these shifting platforms here. Ink the floor of each platform before stepping aboard. As the platform shifts beneath the net, hide in your ink to avoid getting scraped off. As if this isn’t challenging enough, you come under attack by several Octocopters and Octotroopers in this area. Even as you’re under attack, be ready to duck under that net—it poses a bigger threat than the Octarians. Try to eliminate as many of these threats from the non-shifting platforms as you can.

Sunken Scroll Before climbing the shifting blocks on the third platform, follow the narrow path to the right to locate this level’s Sunken Scroll.

This obstacle consists of three moving blocks. Thoroughly ink these blocks before attempting to swim up them. The glass and blue tarp sections cannot be inked, so you must rely on inking the metal surfaces to make your way to the top. As you transition from the second moving block to the third one, you must act fast. Swim up the non-tarp side of the second block, then immediately ink and swim up the side of the third block—stay in squid form when you reach the top to avoid getting scraped off by the net.

Swimming up the three moving sections of this final wall can be tricky. First, ink all three moving sections of the wall. Swim up the first section and remain there until you can swim to the second section. Gravity continually pushes your squid downward, so you need to keep swimming up gradually to stay in one spot on the wall. Be patient and keep swimming upward, one section at a time, until you reach the top. But beware of the net waiting for you here—ink the floor and hide in your ink to avoid getting scraped off. Swim up the adjoining wall to reach the Zapfish.
