Farm work starts early
Once you enter Cliff Farm you’re sure to notice that Bozzeye’s mole hill is located just to the right of the entrance. His current price is 25 Notes, which is the exact amount that we’ve collected thus far, what luck! Beckoning Bozzeye from his mound will allow you to learn your next move; the Underwater Dive!
Delve into the Deep: Underwater Dive Ability
You won’t be able to dive in just any water though, you’ll have to keep your eyes open for bubbles which rise to the surface rapidly. Once you’ve located a pool which fulfills this criteria you’ll be able to dive under by pressing the R button. Under the surface you’ll automatically sink to the bottom slowly, so use the A button to swim higher in small intervals. Once you’ve accomplished whatever led you underneath the pool in the first place, pressing R will allow you to rise rapidly to the surface which is especially handy when you’re running low on air. After Bozzeye has discussed the move with you he’ll mention a pool to the left that you can try the Underwater ability on. Continue to the left and collect the notes (5) on the path until you reach a ledge. Don’t go up the ledge, instead approach the pool of water to dive in, use your Underwater ability to break the surface.
Cliff Dive Pool
Once you’re down into the deep, collect the notes (8) on the bottom of the pool. Be sure to avoid the Whiplash and be sure to use the bubbling spouts in order to replenish your oxygen supply if it gets too low, though it’s unlikely you’ll have any problems running low on air in such an enclosed area. To the right you’ll managed to spot your first Jiggy of Cliff Farm, surrounded by the constant jet of the bubbling spouts. Once you’ve gotten your hands on the Jiggy (1) and collected the notes, press R to rise rapidly back up the surface.
Cliff Farm
Carrying onto the left will lead to Bozzeyes’ next mole hill, though the price is a little steep for our current regime. Collect every note on the way to the mole hill though, after thats done you should have a total of 14. Make your way back to the entrance and collect the single note (15) on the right path, the others will be on top of the bales of hay (18). If you head to the right and down just a little bit you should manage to see the Jinjo Oracle in your sights.
Collect these notes and head back up to the left to learn of our new move!
With our current total resting at 43 notes we’ll be able to pay off Bozzeye who only needs 40 to teach us the next move; the Grip Grab.
Take these scraggly vines & learn to climb: Grip Grab Ability
This ability will allow you to climb surfaces such as vines or ladders found vertically against ledges and surfaces. Once you find a climbable surface push forward on the control pad and press A to let go. You can try this move out on the ladder behind Bozzeye’s mole hill. Once you reach the top you’ll find 3 more notes bringing the total of Cliff Farm to 21. Climb the next ladder, but be careful of the Gruntling who paces back and forth on the ledge above. When the Gruntling has left your sight jump up and collect the single note (22) you should recognize the cries of a Jinjo. The Gruntling is blocking the thin path that the Jinjo resides in, so you’ll have to take him out with a Pack Whack. Once you’ve gotten rid of the Gruntling you’re free to save the Jinjo (1).
Dozen to a Carton: Egg Scramble Mini-Game
Climb up to hen in front of a lone cave, collect the 2 notes around her (24) and inquire her situation using the A button. She’ll tell you that a cruel Gruntling has stolen 12 of her eggs and thrown them down the chute beside her. After offering his assistance, Banjo is ready to slide down the chute and collect the eggs, the mother hen warns you to watch for Springy Spikes which can hinder your progress if collided into. Once you’ve finished listening to the hen, jump into the cave to begin the Egg Chute mini-game.
Inside the cavern lies an enormous spiral slide you’ll need to ride in order to collect all 12 of the hens eggs. Use the control pad to move yourself left and right to avoid the Springy Spikes and make sure you collect all 12 blue eggs as you slide down the chute. It’s a dozen or bust in this mini-game, as even missing a single egg will warrant a retry. It may take some practice, but once you’ve collected the dozen eggs you’ll be thrown back out into Cliff Farm where the mother hen will thank you for your efforts and offer a Jiggy in appreciation.
Since you’re back at the bottom of Cliff Farm you’ll have to climb back up all of the ladders to find your way back up toward the chute entrance. Once you’ve retraced your steps to the chute entrance you’ll find that the hen is awaiting your arrival with your second Jiggy. Once you arrive at the top collect your Jiggy (2) from the grateful hen and face yourself to the left. Jump the gap where you see the notes on the other side and mind the Gruntling pacing up and down. Collect the 2 notes here (26) and head up the ladders.
Pack Whack WhipLash
Jump the gap where you see the notes on the other side and mind the Gruntling pacing up and down. Collect the 2 notes here (26) and head up the ladders. Press left on the control stick to cross over the ladder sections and look out for the Whiplashes on the opposite ledge. Climb to the very top and press A to disembark from the ladder and press the control pad to the left ever so slightly as to avoid being hit. Very carefully, eliminate the Whiplashes with your Pack Whack attack. In the center of the Whiplashes lies a Jiggy that will be left unprotected once you manage to rid the Whiplashes. Snatch up the Jiggy (3) once you’ve done some light gardening.
With that out of the way we’ve done everything to do in this area, if you carry onto the right and you’ll manage to spot another pool with bubbling water. Just as last time we’ll be capable of diving into any pool with bubbles rising to the surface for the precious rewards that line the bottom, so let’s get ready to have a second go at some deep diving.
You’ll need to jump off of the ledge into the pool of water and then press R to take a deep breath and dive into the abyss.
Cliff Springs
Once you’ve submerged yourself into the depths of the Cliff Springs we’ll find a number of items littered on the bottom of the pool to collect. Collecting the trio of notes will bring our total to 29, as well as the waterlogged Jinjo that’s been precariously placed between two bubbling streams. Let’s collect him before he drowns huh? Make sure you avoid the Whiplashes who have made the pool home and collect the Jinjo (2). Once you’ve done that let’s resurface to Cliff Farm by pressing R.
Cliff Farm
Once you’ve left Cliff Springs with sopping wet fur we’ll head to the north in order to collect our next note (30) before collecting the final note (31) of this area just up ahead. Now that we’re finished with our farm work in Cliff Farm we’ll head up north to our next area; Farm Heights, where there’s a tall order for trouble…
Let’s step up to the challenge and begin our trek over the stone bridge and we’ll find ourselves in Farm Heights.
