Banjo-Kazooie/Gruntilda's Lair

Gruntilda's Lair is the hub that gives access to all other levels within the game.

Lair Entrance
Left of the entrance, there is a rock formation. Jump onto the top to retrieve the first Jiggy.

Mumbo's Mountain
Within Conga's Jungle inside Mumbo's Mountain, climb the platforms along the wall and press the Grunty Pad with a Beak Buster. Leave the level as a Termite and climb up the mountain to reach the Jiggy.

Treasure Trove Cove
Press the Grunty pad behind the lighthouse with a beak buster. The jiggy should fire from a cannon, and land on a place accessibly with a few high jumps.

Clanker's Cavern
Press the Grunty pag found near Clanker's blowhole. In the floor containing the painting to Treasure Trove Cove, smash the two eyes on Grunty's image and collect the jiggy.

To Mumbo's Mountain
The entrance contains a Jiggy in the rock formation to the left. Jump onto the rocks to retrieve it. After collecting it, head to the right passage to find the first area. There's a smaller area that has the first unfinished painting. Put the Jiggy into the painting to open the first level of the game. Now you can enter Mumbo's Mountain!

To Treasure Trove Cove
After clearing the area, and getting the jiggy located on the top of the mountain while still a termite, head out the area as you change back to your original bear and bird form. You can head up the second passage using the Talon Trot. There, beckons the Lair's first music door, Bottles will tell you about the many doors you will encounter in this game. If you have less than fifty notes, go back to Mumbo's Mountain and collect them. Otherwise stand next to the door and watch it disappear. Head inside and onto the second floor.

From here head right. Head down a passage to activate a violet magic cauldron by going near it. This serves as a shortcut between two locations. Between the room entrance and the Treasure Trove Cove painting is Brentilda. Find her in various locations throughout the lair and she will tell you her sister Grunty's disgusting secrets to save you from a "fiery death". Trust her on this one, and listen up.

Complete the Treasure Trove Cove painting before continuing. Head up the up/down staircases which leads to the entrance of the third floor.

Enter the pipe with water oozing out to head to an area. Jump out of the broken part of the pipe to reach an orange cauldron, activate it and it will be useful later in the game. In the water, there is a tunnel that leads to the painting for Click Clock Wood; however, this is unusable until very late in the game. On the land next to the water, head into a side area. At the end of the room filled with new enemies called Snippets is a huge treasure chest that should be opened if you completed the Treasure Trove Cove puzzle earlier. Flap-Jump inside to reach Treasure Trove Cove.

Once you clear out Treasure Trove Cove, you can get the Jiggy by jumping on the cannon that extends out, and onto the ship above. Get out of the room and climb the vine to the upper part of the room you dropped from to reach Treasure Trove Cove.

To Clanker's Cavern
Return to the room where you solved the Treasure Trove Cove puzzle. From where you have entered, go left and you should see a Shock Spring Jump Pad. Use it to reach a platform with the Clanker's Cavern puzzle. Use 5 Jiggies to have access to the level while learning to place all Jiggies a the same time.

Clanker's Cavern can be found up the steps, and can be reached from Your next step is to reach Clanker's Cavern, located above the pipe where the water is flowing in the previous room. Jump into the grate to enter the area.

From the entrance head left to drop into a platform. There is a switch use Kazooie's Beak Buster to activate it. Some platforms will rise across the sewer river. Jump across the platform and floating above the entrance to the third world is a Mumbo Token. Collect it, drop down, and enter Clanker's Cavern.

To Bubble Gloop Swamp
Use the beak buster on the button near the entrance, of Clanker's Cavern and jump to the upper pipe via the raised platform. Speak with Brentilda, and continue along the pipe to open a grate within the water.

The grate leads to the painting of Bubble Gloop Swamp, which is unlocked by 7 Jiggys.

Return to the room from where you entered the pipe, and head up the ramp leading to the next floor. In this next floor, head to the left and climb up the steep ramp. Bubble Gloop Swamp is just beyond the bridge.

You may notice the water around the swamp is hazardous. To walk within this area, you will need to learn a new move; once you do, you can visit the side tunnels to use the boots (or to speak with Brentilda.)

Magic Cauldrons
Throughout Gruntilda's lair, there are magic cauldrons that allow for quick transport from one location to another. To open a path between them, you need to find both cauldrons of a given colour.
