Route 2

**Route 2** is located west of Agate Circus.

## Walkthrough

#### Towards Celestinine Cascade

The player first goes through this area to get to the Fiore Mansion at the recommendation of Ringmaster Alistasia. This requires them to travel south towards the Celestinine Cascade, which takes them through several jumping puzzles and forces them to manoeuvre Crustle through mazes so they can be used as jumping points to get further into the route.

First, run left from the entrance of the Route and hop through the jumping puzzle.

Run up and to the right, then climb up onto the stone pillar. Make your way through the jumping puzzle to the right and jump onto the ledge.

Run down, and then go up the stairs to your left then down the stairs at the end of that plateau. Run through the maze at the bottom and back up onto the plateau. You can interact with the green tile on the gate to your immediate right to unlock a shortcut back to Agate circus.

The southern part of this route can be split into an upper and lower section, both of which requiring the player to solve a Crustle puzzle to advance. The upper section is *technically* optional, but opens up a shortcut that makes travel between Agate Circus and the Celestinine Cascade much easier. Both steps start with you heading all the way to the left and then down (past the clown and ranger).

Hop onto this pillar, just past the ranger. Keep jumping until you reach a pillar that lets you get down onto the ground.

Run a little to the left and up from where you got down and interact with the tree to acquire some Sleep Powder. From there, run to the left and up until you reach the Crustle Nest. Interact with the cave entrance to spawn a Crustle, and then interact with it to put it to sleep. **It’s worth quicksaving in case you mess up.** The aim is to push the Crustle into the gap just below and to the right of the nest.

First, push the Crustle all the way to the left until it’s against the wobbly pyramid, then go around it and push it one tile down.

Push the Crustle one tile to the right, then two tiles down. Push it right until it rests in the centre of the cross created by the pillars and rock. Loop around the pillars to the north of you so you can push the Crustle all the way down, then go around the left so you can push it all the way to the right.

Push the Crustle down once and then all the way to the right. It should fall down into the slot.

We’re not quite done yet (less than halfway, in fact!). Head back the way you came.

Take the two sets of stairs down into the reddy stone portion of the map (the image assumes you have just come from completing the upper section). We need to push three Crustle into slots to create a bridge towards the Celestine Cascade.

Start by grabbing some Sleep Powder from the tree at the top of the map, then find the Crustle nest on the right of this area. Put a Crustle to sleep with the powder.

Push the Crustle all the way to the left, and then down 4 tiles. Then push it 2 tiles to the left, and all the way down. Push it one tile left, all the way down, one tile right, then all the way down until it falls down the ledge. It's not in a hole just yet, but we'll come back to finish the job in a moment.

Climb onto the nearby pillar and go up and to the left.

Loop around this new plateau, picking up some Sleep Powder from the trees and use the powder on a Crustle that you can make appear from a nest to the right. Push the Crustle down both levels – you’ll need to push it in a big circle to get it to the second slope. The Crustle will block a cave entrance, but you'll be able to get there later.

Head back the way you came until you’re by the pillar with stairs on it once more. This time, head to the right and alight on the plateau with the Crustle nest on it – you’ll need to jump to the right just before the wobbly pillar.

Pick up some Sleep Powder from the tree below you and put a Crustle to sleep. Push it two tiles to the left, all the way down, then one tile to the right and all the way down until it falls off the ledge.

Head back onto the pillars and jump up onto the wobbly pillar. Follow the path until you’re back on solid ground, and then head down the stairs. Continue down and to the left, jumping over the Crustle you’ve just pushed down. You'll find you're by the Crustle you pushed down here.

Push the Crustle 2 tiles left, 2 tiles down, 1 tile right and then all the way down until it falls down the slope.

Jump back over the Crustle and down the set of stairs until you’re on the same level as the Crustle you just pushed down. Push it 5 tiles left, 5 tiles up, 1 tile right and then 1 tile up to push it into the slot. With that, you should be able to jump over all 3 Crustle and make your way towards Celestinine Cascade!

#### Towards Ametrine Mountain

Whilst you can technically get to Ametrine Mountain through Celestinine Mountain, accessing it from Route 2 is far more convenient. You need to get to Ametrine mountain for the first time after acquiring Surf, but you can do this as soon as you get to Route 2.

Locate the Crustle nest north of the Sleep Powder tree, summon a Crustle and put it to sleep. Push it right 3 tiles, up 1 and then right 4.

Continue pushing the Crustle up 2, right 3, up 1, right 5, down 2, then right 3 and push it into the hole.

Head back to fill up on Sleep Powder again, and then climb up onto the rock pillars from the pillar at the bottom of this area. The aim is to jump all the way to the top left of the map.

Once you're up here, immediately summon a Crustle from the nearby nest and put it to sleep. Push it all the way to the left, all the way up, 1 tile right, all the way up, 1 tile right again and then all the way up to push it into a slot.

Head all the way back to refill your Sleep Powder, then go back to this nest and hop onto the pillar to the left of it. Follow the path until you're standing on top of the plateau. There's a nest on it - summon a Crustle and put it to sleep, then push it 2 tiles to the left.

Climb up onto the pillar next to the Nest and use it to hop onto the upper outcrop of rock. Use the pillar to the left to jump over to the upper outcrop, then use the pillar next to it to climb back down. Run back over to the Crustle and push it 1 tile down.

Retrace your steps and then push the Crustle all the way right, then down to knock it onto the lower level.

Run all the way back to the entrance of the Route, then take the stairs immediately north of the gate towards Agate Circus. Follow the path until you get to the Crustle you just knocked down.

Push the Crustle 2 tiles right, 1 down, 2 right, 3 up, 1 left and then all the way up into the slot.

You can now loop back around to the right of the map, then go up and follow the path (jumping over 2 Crustle) and into Ametrine Mountain.
