1 | Cut the chain and possess another fish via a small fish

Possess a nearby fanged fish and use its ability to bite the leg chain. In the next room, take a small fish through the left gap, then chain possession to the fanged fish beyond and cut the rope.

2 | Glass and the wall right of the heart

Break the right glass and then lower-left glass with a hard-headed fish. Use the next fanged fish to cut the lower-right rope and let your body pass. In the large-heart room, break the right wall with the hard-headed fish.

3 | Accelerate through the light-following passage

After leaving the enormous mouth, use swimming acceleration through the narrow light-following passage to avoid being caught by leeches. The light ahead leads to the boss; do not mistake it for a dead end and turn back.

4 | Make Gulper Eel Break the Rocks

Rather than repeatedly attacking normally, change the terrain by making the boss collide with rocks.

  1. Hide behind the upper rock and let a charge open the upper passage.
  2. Cut the left rope with the fanged fish to drop the next rock.
  3. Lure a charge into that rock to open the lower passage.
  4. Use the lower hard-headed fish to break the rock above the boss.
  5. Lure another charge into the fallen rock, then possess the weakened boss.

5 | Lower Diver and Right Emblem

When the lower passage opens, collect the diver near the hard-headed fish by possessing them with your body. After victory, swim right through the open space and possess the goliath emblem inside the machine to enter Chapter 2.
