This stage starts off in a grassy area obscured by trees. Beware of the Lunkheads that come leaping in to attack. Take the eastern path to find Something Greasy along the edge of the map. Take the northern path past the pond and use a ramp to reach higher ground. Follow the path and use another ramp to find the Galleon Mortar. Once all upgrades are acquired, this becomes arguably the most useful weapon in the game, particularly when handling some of the game's more difficult challenges (such as Idols, Dreams, and both combined, as well as helping to achieve a high score in Score Attack Mode). Test out its range and strength on the Peckers to the south. Past the Peckers is the Arsenal and a memento, the Fine Gramophone. Take the northern path to proceed.
There are no more collectibles here, so simply follow the path and defeat the enemies that spawn; this should be a simple task with the use of the Galleon Mortar. Some branches in the path lead to Fragments, Black Tonics, and Health Tonics, so be sure to pick them up if you're in need of them. The Skybridge at the top of the area will send the Kid to the Shard. After he picks it up, numerous enemies, including two Lungblossoms, will spawn. Use the Galleon Mortar to win the battle and take the Skyway back to the Bastion.
