Peppers and Wand
Anchor at Dark Tomb, get Hot Peppers, get Wand
-
Run north of the checkpoint and grapple left to a tuning fork. Head up and open the chest for an ATT upgrade. During the chest-opening animation, equip Muffling Bell.
-
Run west/left, enter Dark Tomb, and immediately exit. This is to set your Continue point (and a good place for an auto-split).
-
Run west and open the chest between the rudelings for Peppers (2). The timing is somewhat tight, but it's pretty easy if you ignore them.
-
Climb the nearby ladder and grapple NE twice. Obtain the Wand. Immediately pause, quit, and continue. Activate orb (to place it in your paw) and re-enter Dark Tomb.
