A harder version of Temple Ruins, with longer leaps over the void, more crumbling platforms and faster moving pillars. You'll also need to jump on some disappearing spiders to overcome certain gaps. This level features a Tawna bonus round and one of the two Cortex bonus rounds in the game. The tokens to reach it can be found in the following locations:
- The first token is easy to find and can be found in a box under a TNT crate.
- The second token is also in a box next to a TNT crate. You'll find these boxes on a cornering platform, just after passing a blue snake. It is important to kill this snake by jumping on it and not using the spin attack, or you risk blowing up the TNT box ahead and the token will be lost.
- The third token is found in a box in a hidden area (see below).
The trick to getting through this tough round is to stay on the TNT boxes after activating them and jump right a moment before they explode. If you succeed you will get the second key, which will allow you to access the secret level Fumbling In The Dark.
Getting the gem[edit]
To get a clear gem in this level, you will first need to get the blue gem from Toxic Waste. Only by possessing this gem, you will be able to access an alternative path, along which you will find numerous boxes, before returning to the normal path. You will also have to discover a secret area, where there are some boxes. To reach it, at a certain point in the level you will have to walk to the left, where apparently there is a void, to make a bridge of floating platforms appear. Like in the "twin level", this point is marked by a Wumpa fruit floating in the void. It is in this secret area that the last Cortex token is found.
