Octodad: Dadliest Catch/World of Kelp

The first activity in the World of Kelp is the globe game. On Xbox and Steam, you can earn an achievement for completing it within 30 seconds. This may take some practice, so make sure to reload the checkpoint before completing the game to start over. To start the game, grab the globe with one tentacle and press the glowing buttons with the other. Keep the globe moving at a steady pace, not too quickly, so that Octodad can press the buttons as it moves. Once the game is completed, you can exit to the next area via the adults' or kids' exit if you feel like taking a slide. The first activity in the next area is the Tilt-a-Quiz. Step onto it and move the puck along the board to reveal the answer to the question. Next to it is the sun wheel, which Octodad must run along to complete. Take big steps toward the wall of the wheel to get it moving faster. After it's been powered, it will start spinning on its own at a rapid pace. Exit the wheel and climb up the right side of it to be launched toward a tie (1/1) above it. Across from the sun wheel is the spore game, in which you must launch spores of differing colors into the compartments on the left using the fan. If this becomes too much of a hassle, Octodad can also simply pick up the spores and place one of each color into each compartment to complete the game.

The final objective in this area is grabbing the top of the kelp in the center of the giant fan. Simply yank the kelp down by its base to bring the top down, then grab it before it can rise back up. This will activate the giant fan, which you can use to reach the first tie if you haven't picked it up already. Slide down to the next area and you should see another tie (2/3) upon entering, placed on one of the otter cutouts. Here, you'll have to grab an otter at the back of the area and move it along the track to block sea urchins. A counter at the back will keep track of how much kelp you've protected. Rescue more than 15 for an achievement on Xbox and Steam. After completing the game, take the head off of the defending otter and place it on Octodad's head for an achievement/trophy on Xbox, Steam, and PlayStation.

Walk into the final area to be greeted by a jungle gym surrounding a giant octopus. Climb up the stairs and across the bridge, but before proceeding further up, approach the chest of the giant octopus to find a tie (3/3). Climb to the top to be reunited with Tommy, then exit the World of Kelp to complete the stage.
