Badlands Part 2[]

The player must continue with their task of exploring the badlands to find the shrine.

2. After the set of Phantom Spouts is cleared, the player will reach a Mira statue that requires a gemstone to unlock the path. The player must choose between red, blue, or purple. Each gemstone corresponds to a crystal at the end of the tunnel that unlocks a different path. The gemstone also unlocks a treasure chest further down the path that corresponds to the same color.

Trivia[]

There is a glitch where the player can fall through a Phantom Tar pit at the point where a mini stream flows down through the rock. This only happens if the player is falling while running and lands at just the right spot next to the stream.
There is a glitch where the player can be disconnected from the game for going idle in the adventure, rather than being kicked out of the adventure first, as is the case with other adventures. When this happens, the adventure turns black and the player can no longer perform any actions.
The paint splatters and information signs seen throughout the Badlands suggest that Peck, the Bunny Alpha, was also attempting to infiltrate the Phantom Fortress. This explains Greely's "riddle" from The Front Lines about Peck being missing. This is confirmed in the following adventure, The Phantom Fortress.
The player is able to move and jump while the concluding animation plays.
