Required Drilling Guide

# **Required Drilling Guide**

By Ben/Bentendowhis

Besides the final Spirhalite deposit at the end of each level, some deposits are required to be drilled, as doing so may open the path forward. This guide will tell you which deposits are **required**, which ones are **fully skippable**, and which ones are **skippable with tricks**. For this last category, the required tricks will be explained. Levels are ordered by their Salmonid Level. (There is also a TL;DR section at the end with all the important stuff!)

Keep in mind that in some levels, Salmonids that you don’t defeat may not despawn and will keep following you, requiring you to defeat them before progressing.

If there are any inaccuracies or if new skips are found, please contact me and I will update this guide as soon as I can!

# Erpp Island

## Piel Coast

- All deposits are **required**.

- Each one spawns a surfboard that leads to the next area.
- As this is still in the tutorial, returning to this level strips you of your gadgets, so it is unlikely that these can be skipped, even for NG+.

## Blansh Seaway

- All deposits are **skippable**.

(Despite the normal treasure icon, Scayl Buried Ruins has no Spirhalite deposits, as it is the tutorial for buried ruins.)

# Puos Island

## Tumetto Rocks

- All deposits are **skippable**.

# Spata Island

## Carbanyara Wetlands

- The first deposit is **skippable**. 

- The second deposit is **required** in Any%, but **skippable with tricks** in NG+.

- This deposit spawns a surfboard that leads to the next area.
- For NG+ runs, using a combination of a Double Bot Hop, Blast Boot, Dash Bomb, Jump Bomb, and a damage boost off of the water, it is possible to reach the other side without the surfboard.
- A Double Bot Hop is performed by doing a Bot Hop, calling the bot in mid-air, and doing another Bot Hop off of it to get a higher jump.
- This skip may require certain gadget parts (such as Double Trouble Jump Bump, and Slow Fall).

# Zapiz Island

## Pipyoni Cliffs

- All deposits are **skippable**.

# Ferdi Island

## Fridda Trail

- There are **no other deposits** in this level.

# Gildred Island

## Yaksubi Volcano

- All deposits are **skippable**.

# Narem Island

## Soyu Cliffs

- The first deposit is **skippable**.

- The second deposit is **skippable with tricks**.

- By using a Double Bot Hop, Dash Bomb, and Blast Boot, you can reach the end of the level.
- A Double Bot Hop is performed by doing a Bot Hop, calling the bot in mid-air, and doing another Bot Hop off of it to get a higher jump.
- Alternatively, using the Dash Bomb directly into a Bot Hop, a Midair Jump, damage boosting off of the water, then a final Blast Boot will also work.

# Trattoria Island

## Uven Crater

- All deposits are **skippable**.

# Zeefer Island

## Vanilo Mountain

- All deposits are **skippable**.

# Sypic Island

## Sahlse Vents

- All deposits are **skippable with tricks**.

- You can cross the gap to the next area using a Bot Hop.
- If you’re doing an NG+ run, you can use a Bot Hop plus the Flywire to cross the gap more quickly.

# Hissu Island

## Toonya Glacier

- All deposits are **skippable**.

## Yillatay Icicles

- All deposits are **skippable**.

## Sweeshrim Peak

- All deposits are **skippable with tricks**.

- You can reach the next area using a Double Bot Hop to reach the ledge above.
- A Double Bot Hop is performed by doing a Bot Hop, calling the bot in mid-air, and doing another Bot Hop off of it to get a higher jump.
- Alternatively, if you have the Midair Jump Relic Power equipped, you can do a single Bot Hop and use the Midair Jump afterwards to reach the ledge.
- If you have the Flywire equipped, you can take advantage of the nearby trees on top of the ledge to grapple onto.

# Cryur Island

## Kurmuh Lava Flows

- All deposits are **skippable with tricks**.

- By using a combination of a Double Bot Hop, Dash Bomb, Jump Bomb, and Blast Boot, you can reach the next area.
- A Double Bot Hop is performed by doing a Bot Hop, calling the bot in mid-air, and doing another Bot Hop off of it to get a higher jump.
- Without certain gadget parts (such as Double Trouble Jump Bump, and Slow Fall), a damage boost off of the lava may be required.
- [Video example by Nathan0exe](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lGqPEa1FzI)

# Dasla Island

## Seaza Mountains

- All deposits are **skippable**.

# Dretess Island

## Krimpuf Cave

- All deposits are **skippable**.

# TL;DR

The only levels that currently require Spirhalite deposits to be drilled in Any% are Piel Coast (all) and Carbanyara Wetlands (second), the latter of which can be skipped in NG+ runs. The deposits in Soyu Cliffs, Sahlse Vents, Sweeshrim Peak, and Kurmuh Lava Flows can be skipped using tricks, and every other level’s deposits can be fully skipped.
