Following your explorations in the arid expanse of the Veiled Sea, the adventure continues as you navigate toward the mesmerizing Lost Grotto. This enchanting location is brimming with captivating alcoves and playful dolphin-themed decorations, offering ample chances to execute impressive aerial maneuvers and achieve fantastic combos.
While executing tricks may come easily, uncovering the hidden shells within this area poses a genuine challenge. Fortunately, this comprehensive guide will empower you to swiftly locate these collectibles and progress to the Shadow Tundra without delay.
It’s important to note that the developers at Giant Squid have indicated plans to move these collectibles during their final update. Unfortunately, we were not informed of these changes in advance. Therefore, we believe that most shells will remain in their designated locations as outlined in this guide, although some inaccuracies may exist. We will do our best to update this guide if necessary when a day-one patch becomes available.
Shell #1
Upon reaching the initial puzzle area, you will need to solve two bubble puzzles. Look for a small gap in the building located directly beneath the higher bubble puzzle’s exit. Descend into the gap to discover a shell hidden inside.
Shell #2
This shell is quite elusive. When you come to an area featuring a mysterious figure across a chasm, with stairs to your left, jump right into the void. At the bottom, you’ll find a secret space containing a shell and a pipe that allows you to return to the surface effortlessly.
Shell #3
As you traverse the dense region of the Grotto, keep an eye out for a Stele Message that provides insights into the Lost Grotto. Look for a walkway below the rooftops you’re navigating. Drop down onto this walkway, and a shell will be waiting nearby.
Shell #4
Next, you’ll find yourself in an area requiring the activation of four fountains to open a doorway, which also grants access to a trick attack space. As you traverse rooftops and towers, watch for a low alcove that can be identified by the floating jellyfish nearby. You’ll find your next shell there.
Shell #5
As you ascend to the pinnacle of the Grotto, you will encounter a large dolphin statue in the vicinity of the area where you need to re-engage the chain mechanism. Climb to the top of the dolphin’s head, and you’ll discover another shell waiting for you.
Shell #6
On your return journey towards the exit, you’ll have the opportunity to uncover several shells along the way. The presence of seaweed and the reactivated chain will make navigation easier. The first shell on your return can be found at the end of a long waterway visible from where you activated the chain. Drop down to a little awning below to find it perched on top.
Shell #7
Continue your journey along the chain until reaching a building with a square opening at the top. Take a moment to explore the little nooks on this rooftop, as you’ll find another cleverly concealed shell within a small archway.
Shell #8
As you near the bubble puzzle area again, hop off the chain to your left where a trail of seaweed leads you up a cliff. Follow this narrow path carefully, and you will discover your next hidden shell.
Shell #9
Further along, you’ll arrive at the wall riding section at the very beginning of this chapter. Now, a sandy path is accessible above thanks to the seaweed. Follow it until you stumble upon a cave harboring yet another shell.
Shell #10
Just beyond the smaller wall ride located within the puzzle area—specifically the one that leads to the higher bubble puzzle mouth—you’ll uncover a small concealed archway. A shell is nestled inside, close to the NPC who collects your currency, which can serve as a helpful reference point for your search.
Shell #11
Finally, in the Lost Grotto area, there’s one last elusive shell. Position yourself near the exit doorway, but instead of completing the level, veer to the right of the door. By jumping in and out to avoid the blue crystals and continuing along this hidden path, you will ultimately find your final shell.
