From here, it's just a matter of jumping from platform to platform until you're close enough to the surface to jump to it. Remember, don't think that just because you're floating around in space that gravity doesn't apply. Get as close to the ground as you can before dropping down. If there's another platform circling lower, make sure to jump to it first. With the long-jump module, you can jump extreme distances. Also remember that if it looks like you're going to overshoot your target, you can simply press {{kbd|down}} (or whatever your move-backward key is) to stop mid-jump. | From here, it's just a matter of jumping from platform to platform until you're close enough to the surface to jump to it.

This platform gives you a view of the underside of the rock, where all the action is. As you hover around the giant rock, fire hivehand hornets at Houndeyes you see so they won't be a threat later. As you pass the violet lanterns, duck down and back as far away from them as you can or they will shoot violet rays at you. When the houndeyes are gone, jump from the platform to one of the giant spikes and walk onto the main rock. | This platform gives you a view of the underside of the rock, where all the action is.

There are several new things here to take note of. The first is the violet lanterns hanging from the ceiling. If you approach them, they will shoot electricity at you unless you destroy them. The next is the small bioluminescent organisms. They will retract if you approach them, but they won't hurt you. The last thing that you may find here is a small light blue glowing pool of water. This pool will heal you if you stand in the center. When you've found the healing pool, look around and you will find a hole in the wall that leads to the center of the giant rock. | There are several new things here to take note of.
