With a Mud pepper in hand it is time to enter the base of the Volcano and see why this world is cooling off. We use the Levitate formula and enter.

Inside we see enemies in the shape of Vipers out to hurt you. No worries though as Oscar is well able to give them the hurt, and Nutty is able to toss his spear leveled up and stay at a safe distance.
Also inside we get to a few simple puzzles where Rocks block your path forward. You find mudpepper's and use Levitate Formula to continue ahead.

We also find a guy hiding from the Vipers inside. He gives us a chance to save our game and teaches us the Speed Formula, how nice.

We get to a point where we can't find another Mudpepper but we do find a Viper Commander. It is a mini boss fight here. A spear chuck and Oscar's attack take him down quick and The Viper Commander drops a Mudpepper for us. You can leave the screen and come back to fight him again which will drop a second one as well. I did this about 7 times to stock up on the Mudpeppers as they are rare in the game.

With the last rock blocking our path removed we continue on to the next part of the dungeon. It is a water system inside the Volcano. They have two path that branch out to different area's. Most lead to nothing and make you try another path from the start, some lead to a fight with Raptors, but one leads to a switch, the other leads to a locked door that opens when you hit the switch.

When we enter the door we hit the center of the problem. Inside is Fire Eye's... To be Continues next post
