Part 1: The Golden Noodles

Noodle A:

Hint"Find a skull to gain access to the map room, then examine the mini map closely.

Full Explanation"The skull is inside the wrecked ship, under the stairs. You need to break the wooden pallet to reach it. Once you have the skull, interact with the empty post in front of the white building to open the door to the map room. Look at the grenade placed on the mini map near the east side of the island, it shows where a hidden opening is located. Either throw a grenade or ground pound near the top of the ivy patch to enter the cave and retrieve the golden noodle.

Noodle B:

Hint"Search underwater for the mermaid's tomb, then figure out how to safely take the noodle.

Full Explanation"Jump onto the yellow raft to go underwater. Once there, look under the stone blocks for a key, it's located where the 2 blocks make a V shape, on the opposite side of the bush. Use the key on the chest in the cave and retrieve the golden teddy bear. Head to the mermaid located past the ivy in the bottom corner of the underwater area. Interact with the golden noodle to switch it out with the golden teddy bear.

Noodle C:

Hint"Solve the tiki totem's riddle using the hidden shapes nearby. Then look for a red magnifying glass icon atop the white map building.

Full Explanation"The hidden shapes located in the area around the tiki totem tell you how to orientate each section of the totem. You match the shape with the colored switches. So for example, there is a green square, so you rotate the square section of the totem until the square is facing the green switch. After solving the tiki totem puzzle, it opens a gravity lift near the map building which lets you get on top of it. From there walk across the bridge and then keep walking across the invisible bridge until you reach the golden noodle. (Note: there is a red mag. icon hidden in a cut out section of one of the pillars on the roof of the map building which shows you there is an invisible bridge on the map.)

Noodle D:

Hint"After gaining access to the map room, interact with the red magnifying glass icon to make a red X appear on the map, investigate the area marked by the X.

Full Explanation"Jump from the rock above the ivy patch on the east side of the island onto the palm trees to reach the platform on top of the set of 3 palm trees. Interact with the red mag. icon and return to the map to see where an invisible path is located, it curves around the edge of the mountain walls. Follow the path to reach a little island with a gold cylinder. Jump onto the nearby rail to go around the track. You must shoot all 3 red power cores on a single trip to unlock the golden noodle beneath the gold cylinder.

Boss 1: Stale: The Mega Spider

Tips"
-The switch that kills the boss is located on its top hat
-You have to get on top of the boss and turn around to interact with the switch
-You can skip jumping onto the 4th skeleton (the one in the opposite corner from the boss) and jump from the 3rd to the 5th skeleton which saves some time.
-If you fall down with only a few seconds left on the kill timer, it's faster to jump back up and die so you can reset your timer and try again instead of waiting for it to reset.

Part 2: The Temple

Doll A: The Infinity Pit

Hint"The splinter grenade is key to everything.

Full Explanation"Drop down the pipe and continue to fall until you pick up 2 splinter grenades, then you are able to land on the splinter grenade as long as you hold 2 of them still. Once you steady yourself on the grenade, look up and throw a splinter grenade up at the wall of barrels. If done correctly, the barrels will explode and you fall when you pick up the splinter grenade your were standing on. Hold in up and press the clamber button repeatedly until you clamber up to where the barrels used to be. The doll is in the small room behind the barrels.

Doll B: Jumping Stones

Tips"
-Get a running start
-Aim for the center of each stone
-It helps to clamber onto the 2nd post
-Be sure to use your spartan abilities (thrusters, stabilizers, and ground pound) to help make the jump from the posts to the rock.
-You don't need spartan abilities while bouncing from stone to stone, only once you get to the posts.

Doll C: Squares Puzzle (Must get Doll A to access):

Hint"Your goal is to make all the squares the same color.

Full Explanation"You need to make all the squares green, to do this interact with the switches until you get the 2 end switches on the "on state" and the middle 2 switches on the "off state," this means when the squares are in their starting position, all you have to do is activate the 2 end switches to complete the puzzle.

Doll D: Ramp Rails (Must get Doll B to access)

Tips"
-Use spartan abilities to save yourself if you think you will miss one of the rails
-Clamber onto the flat ones you can stand on, and jump off of them when near their edges
-If you have trouble getting onto the last rail, you can skip it by thrusting to the right just before you reach the last rail and then ground pound onto the platform where the doll is located.

Boss 2: Glop the Gruntrider

Tips"
-Phase 1: Run up the side of the ring near the edge and jump out over the water, then ground pound onto Glop's head where the switch is that you must activate.

Phase 2: Wait until the 2 small kill balls are close together then jump to the side, stabilize, ground pound, then thruster out of the ground pound (before you do the slam) back onto the wooden beam. This technique should buy you the time you need for the fast kill ball to go past you then back behind you.

Phase 3: Jump around the blue kill ball, but don't use stabilizers, just ground pound then thruster out of it back onto the beam to get around the kill ball and hit the switch on Glop's head.

Phase 4: Jump around the sides of the kill balls and ground pound onto the posts to the sides of the beam.

Part 3: Cave of Contraptions

Power Crystal A: The Track

Hint"You know what to do.

Full Explanation"Drive the warthog through the track to reach the Power Crystal.

Power Crystal B: Strange Switches

Hint"The switches must be hit in the correct pattern, look around the cave for clues.

Full Explanation"The correct pattern can be figured out by the number of crates next to the colored drop pods. 1 crate by yellow, 2 by blue etc. So the correct pattern is yellow, blue, pink, red. (Note: make sure you don't activate one of the switches twice in a row when interacting with them.)

Part 4: The Golden Cones

Cone A:

Hint"Get inside the cabin.

Full Explanation"Drop down the chimney, the cone is on a table inside the cabin.

Cone B:

Hint"Look for a hole on top of the island with a ladder going down.

Full Explanation"The hole is surrounded by some small rocks and plants and is located south of the tower. Drop down the hole and follow the path until you reach a labyrinth, at the center of the labyrinth is the cone.

Cone C:

Hint"Interact with the button near the giant explosive barrel, then check the mini map.

Full Explanation"After interacting with the switch, 3 soda cans appear on the mini map which show you where to find the 3 explosive barrels that you must destroy in order to get the cone. Each barrel you destroy lowers the red outer ring near the giant barrel and when you get all 3 you can grab the cone.

Cone D:

Hint"Look for a red magnifying glass icon near the cabin.

Full Explanation"The red mag. icon is located on one of the pillars supporting the cabin's porch. After interacting with it look around the west edge of the mini map to see a red chroma block that marks where a cavern is located. Inside the cavern, find the gravity lift in the corner and then follow the series of jumps until you get onto the tower on the opposite side of the cavern entrance. Look for a hole on the roof of the tower and throw a grenade down the hole to destroy the barrier on the ground which lets you get inside where the cone is located.

Boss 3: Woodmoth: The Light Eater

Tips"
-For many of the jumps, it helps to jump towards the curve of the ring pieces then use the stabilizers which will push you along the curve until you can clamber onto the next platform
-There is a checkpoint higher up in the tower so don't get discouraged
-When you see the gas mask warning sign, the next part is in a timed kill boundary. You have to jump up onto the drop pod air brake piece, then walk around to the other side and jump up through a hole in the grate.
-Once you kill Woodmoth, the smoke and death balls after the check point despawn which makes it easy to get up for those members of your group who struggle with parkour sections.

Bonus Stuff:

Poseidon's Fury:

Hint"Make Poseidon angry 3 times.

Hint 2"After reaching the W, interact with the blue magnifying glass icon, then search the map for blue lights which give hints on how to anger Poseidon.

The Bane of Greenskull:

Hint"After getting a banshee, search for 3 dufflebags.
