Destroy the fallen tree in the Kid's path to pick up the Dueling Pistols, ranged weapons that boast a rate of fire limited only by the speed of your trigger finger. Ahead are the stage's first enemies, Pincushions. While these plant-like monsters are stationary, they can fire needles at the Kid's position with a rapid rate of fire. Counter-block against them until they finish firing, then fire back with the Dueling Pistols. Defeating all enemies in the area will allow access to the Core. Take the path up after retrieving it to find a Wallflower, which will be open for attack only when it prepares an attack; wait for its petals to fall before attacking to maximize damage against it. Past the Wallflower and another Pincushion is the Arsenal. Move right from the Arsenal to find Something Greasy, an upgrade material for the Dueling Pistols.
Along the path forward is a shipment, which can be interacted with to free some Gasfellas that can be fought, more Pincushions, and a yellow Vineapple. This plant has the appearance of a flower, but will explode upon taking damage, so be wary of its proximity. Further down the path, you will encounter a Lunkhead, a frog-like enemy that will attempt to leap onto the Kid to deal damage. Dodge these leaps and attack its back, as its front is armored. In a corner to the left of the map near the Lunkhead, look for a sandbag that the Kid can interact with to find Something Foul. Across from this area, near a quarry cart, are some green Vineapples, which restore the Kid's health after they've been destroyed. The path down south will lead you to the Skyway, returning the Kid to the Bastion and concluding this short location.
