For those getting completely stuck on the 3rd wave of Octolings in the last part of this stage: I was getting stuck the same, spent hours and hours stuck there, even had to reach this area 2 more times after pressing restart by mistake once and getting an error message another time. I have tried any possible strategy and the best I could do was killing about 8-10 of the 15 ennemies that are thrown at you in this last wave (tried to zone in a corner/in the middle/higher ground, tried to stay on a line on one of the 4 sides of the arena and go left and right, tried to run fast a bit everywhere, tried to use our little friend to attract the ennemies or kill them, tried to heavily use the specials, everything for hundreds of attempts!!!). Then, I decided to go with a last strategy: I decided to paint all the outside corners of the arena, drawing like a giant a square close to the fences cercling the area, and decided to run non stop along this square, always on the same direction, et to kill anyone on my way with my gun (no need anything else). It worked second try! Not only it allows you to be fast, to avoid the ennemies's specials/radars, to swim most of the time as the area used is fully painted, to keep our gun fully loaded, to blast them with dozens of bullets each time we see one on the way, but also to surprise most of them as they don't really understand what is coming to them and they don't get enough time ro react or to gang up on us. Believe me guys, save yourself hours of pure agony and use this method straight! I wish I could have recorded it so I could show you how simple it is. Quite proud to show the damn bear's ears in multiplayer modes now :)

Something similar happened to me. Took me 4-5h to get to the last part. I was then trying very hard to finish the third wave for like 2h, I was exhausted, about to go to sleep, then selected "restart" instead of continuing from the checkpoint... I was about to throw my pro controller on the tv! Took me 1h to get back to this point today. Now the console in on sleep mode. I'll need to tackle this last part again tonight.

[@starmoral5456]

100%. At least the Octolings had an excuse to be difficult since it was a gauntlet, but I still did that in less attempts than the platforming.

[@Riptide-ik5db]

Lucky you the platform in was easy to me but the ballon section NO THANKYOU

[@Xgil2Play]

Nintendo wants a piece of Super Mario in every game, this is just proof of how much they have been holding back.

[@setheus]

For real!! The balloons are a little tricky bc my gyroscope is a little wonky, but nothing compared to the first platforming section. I think it's also the longest section without checkpoints? Dying near the end and having to restart the whole thing was gut-wrenching

[@jamesonshekmeister]

That last part with the Octolings pushed me to my limits.

[@Houndlock643]

So now comes the big question: How much did Captain Tartar know about this? He did mention in his big villain speech something about a “primordial ooze, from which the ultimate lifeform would be birthed from”, so how much did Tartar know about the Fuzzy Ooze? Or was he completely oblivious to its exsistence?

[@Houndlock643]

Either way you look at it; this all can go back to Splatoon 2’s final Splatfest. It was Nintendo’s way of subtly hinting at where the plot might go, but without the final results, the story for Splatoon 3 could’ve gone anywhere. I’m betting that if Order won Final Splatfest, Splatoon 3’s story would’ve been a similar story to the one we have in this timeline, but with slightly different circumstances, and seeing the poster from the Final Splatfest, it would’ve been reasonable to assume that they would’ve rehashed the Deepsea Metro and its elements from Octo Expansion into what would’ve been Splatoon 3’s story if Order won.

[@Houndlock643]

The same could be said for Splatoon 1. I’m betting that Nintendo had the basic story beats for Splatoon 2 already planned out, but had Callie won the final Splatfest instead of Marie, we would seen a VERY different, but still extremely similar story to come from Splatoon 2.

[@siIIyguy]

I'd imagine he was oblivious: his 'primordial ooze' was blended up inklings, octolings and whatever else had passed the tests, so he was going to create beings (the 'ultimate lifeforms') from that ooze (with the dna of those dead creatures inside of it). He'd been waiting for over 12,000 years for a new species to be on par with humans, yet none came, hence his villain speech and fight at the end. Mr. Grizz only started Grizzco a few years ago, and only creatures in the metro were able to meet Tartar (if Grizzco passed the tests, which he likely would've, he'd be blended right now). It's possible the same professor that made Tartar left some form of knowledge that Grizz got his hands on, but both would still be clueless of eachothers plans.

17:25 ayo that Octoling was Squidbagging

[@genderenigma8276]

Part 1: curdling bombs against the Octo-splatling guy. I used squid surge to stick to the moving platforms. For the final section, ink well, equip burst bombs, and get over and BURST THE WALL Part 2: Just keep trying. No hints. Part 3: Lil buddy is your friend. Give him a name. He name Sqrawnk.He will help you. Also burst bombs. Part 4: ... i haven't gotten past it. Edit: did I say that little buddy is your friend? Not anymore. Use him as a decoy and to kill enemies. During the second phase, go to the top left area and spawn kill two octolings. For the, third phase good luck. Use curling bombs and avoid using specials like ink strike and stamper that prevent usage of your main weapon. Make sure to shoot the jetpacks out of the air

[@Pootis-hn3ky]

For part 4. Rush the first wave so you only 1v1. After that go to the lowered platform and camp there. You can stall basically infinitely there and you only need to camp the 2 super jump spot. Throw bombs to lure the remaining octoling to you and kill them one by one. This is probably the minimums stress way of doing this so less accidental mistakes. You CAN rush them if you want and they can’t really do much if you are fast enough. Just remember you can just beeline into your safe zone and pretty much nothing can kill you during that.

i feel like you could cheese this level pretty easy first try, also does it come with a badge??? i can't imagine all you get for 100%ing single player is a bear headband and some titles

[@myself2612]

If you're experienced, yeah, you COULD technically beat it in one go, but it is WAYYY harder than it looks, especially the balloons, you really need to be on alert 24/7 since they force you to jump and pop the balloons, still not as tough as inner agent 3 but i'd say it's as tough as like, splatoon 1 octavio.

[@lillyhoh8380]

It does and also gear

@@lillyhoh8380 which one is it? i've seen people with callie and marie and grizz badges

[@myself2612]

ok i think i unintentionally lied because ive been stuck on this secret level for 2 hours, the issue isn't the difficulty, rather, "can you time this obstacle? if you don't, well, SPLAT"

This level took me 16 minutes to beat. Thank goodness for checkpoints or else this level would’ve been even more annoying

[@fawful7457]

This level was hard yeah, but nothing compared to inner agent 3, that one box mission with the blaster, or girl power station

[@firsydaboy3041]

final part of the challenge felt like complete RNG

[@FlyinTonite]

Took me 3 or 4 hours to do. I had the most difficulty with the first section. I'm not amazing at the platforming bits and there were some tricky jumps.

[@leJaime428]

This was really painful, especially the octolings part

[@Maty-tc1ms]

Me: GUERILLA TACTICS (kill one octoling after another separatly, more efficient if you have that sensor upgrade)

[@leJaime428]

@@Maty-tc1ms good strategy but the main problem is that they're everywhere, specially the third time they come

[@Maty-tc1ms]

@@leJaime428 meh i started using that tactic in third attemp and it worked for me (sad i didnt recorded that)

That part put me in my limits. I managed to do it after 15 attempts or more

@@leJaime428 well to be fair, i frustrated at the first level, so theres that

[@Mlemona]

I didn't realize you could ink up the platforms at the end of the first stage! I assumed the water would wash it away so i was desperately inking as I was walking and getting super mad cus I wasn't fast enough

[@McMagmuh-X]

The amount of stress and torture this level is, is not worth it to me. But gg to those who can do it!

[@Pootis-hn3ky]

Just go slowly. Most of my death are accidental mistakes. There is no time limit(except the grind rail section) you can wait till you are absolutely sure you can make the jump or have little buddy to to keep the snake block at max.

[@McMagmuh-X]

@@Pootis-hn3ky Yee the grind rail section is where I'm stuck. Like I get so close to the end but fail every time 😅

[@fritesmayo7613]

Playing on switch lite, i stopped at the second part of the level, it's pure hell with big hands.

[@absolutebad3333]

The balloonfish chain literally won't go to the end for me. Like it just doesn't explode on of them so the platform never comes. So pissed cause i don't know what i can even do

[@slanderthesnake3525]

I'm going to argue that this level isn't hard, just very, very tedious. The first and third sections arent too bad if you're decent at platforming and don't easily get too anxious. The second and final section? These just suck. God I hate rails and octarians. Just remember that it doesn't matter how long it takes to beat it, the fact that you beat it shows great skill on your end.

[@just_em1101]

Bro this level was so chaotic it took me forever!

Same dude Did you know how could you do that jump? I'm doing this level and now I'm stuck because I don't know how to jump that

No one told me there were checkpoints at every super jump platform ..::. I thought this was a one run take and feared it 😂

In modern Nintendo fashion, the secret final level is a pain in the ass.

Omg how do you do the sparkling jump where like he held in position for a sec and then jumped up, after the ramp bit.

They know they over extended and is a free kill so they try to inflict psychological damage.

tbh this had the same amount the diffuculty as Girl Power, It's really hard at first but when you figure it out, it's a pretty decent challenge,
