White Grubtubs

Written by: Grant - (A.K.A fox 45505)

Tricky will hear a call from his mom and take off. Head down to the Queen EarthWalker and Tricky will mention White Grubtubs that could help his mom.

First, head to the Store and pick up a Firefly Lantern. You'll need it inside. Don't bother putting Fireflies in it yet.

Head towards the large circular structure. That's the well that has the White Grubtubs. Have Tricky Find at the side and he'll dig into it. Once inside, Fox will tell Tricky to stay behind.

Slide down the ladder and into the well. Manuever around the red shrooms and into the next room. As you get to the little pond, you'll feel the rumbling. Bomb Spore the floor patch and you'll be in a Staff Power room. This room gives you the Rocket Boost.

Once outside, you can use the Rocket Boost Pad under the crate at the far end of the room, for a couple of Fuel Cells. To move forward, though, head back to the first room and find the Boost Pad there. Head along the causeway back to the pond room. Plant a Bomb Spore and set it off to drop part of the bridge down below. Drop down and push the block onto the button to hold open the gate.

Head inside and speak to the ThornTail who's two scales short of a full tail. If you have the Lantern, he'll move and you can Bomb the floor. Slide down the ladder.

Right next to you is White Grubtub #1. Continue further into the cave. Veer a bit left and you'll find a pond with a couple of Bats and three Fireflies. Take them all, then enter the dark area that's to the right of this little Firefly alcove. Activate your Lantern to pull out a Firefly. Find the Bomb Spore patch and place one. Blow it and behind the wall you'll find White Grubtub #2.

Enter the other dark passage (the one that slopes downhill). Take White Grubtub #3 down here, and find another Bomb Spore patch. Plant and shoot and you'll lower the nearby pillar. Now, head back and enter a short passage with a Boost Pad. Boost up and collect White Grubtub #4 and some Fireflies. Now, since you lowered the pillar, you can hop out onto it and cross to the other ledge. In this new area, you'll find White Grubtubs #5 and #6. Now, retrace your steps all the way to the entrance and outside.

Go to the Queen and give her the White Grubtubs. She'll be restored and will spill the whole story on you. So, now you've got to find and restore the SpellStones. You'll be tasked with going to SnowHorn Wastes to find Garunda Te, and you'll be given the SharpClaw Prison Key.

For another place to use the Boost, go around near the Store. There's a Pad here. Use it to shoot up to the ledge. Bomb the wall. Inside, hit all four Blast Buttons quickly to open up a hole and get a Staff Energy Upgrade. There are also a couple of Fuel Cells around the corner on the ledge.

Now, to head back to SnowHorn Wastes, climb the ladder to the left of the well and you'll be back in the sewers. The flow's too strong to swim against, so have Tricky stay on the nearby switch, climb up, and flip the lever to reverse the flow. Also in this area, there's a Boost Pad that'll put you in range of a Blast Button that will open up a couple of Fuel Cells. Keep going through the sewers and you'll be back to BribeClaw and the Wastes.
