Detailed walkthrough notes
Landfill acts as the game's first significant dungeon-like area.
Two important permanent items are located here:
- Eggtart Shield
- Bomb Bag
General Strategy
Explore every accessible branch before assuming you are finished.
After obtaining the Bomb Bag, revisit:
- Cracked walls
- Rocks
- Bombable obstacles
- Previously inaccessible passages
The dungeon is designed around obtaining Bombs partway through and then using them to access its remaining areas.
Completionist Note
Landfill has a completion requirement for opening every treasure chest.
Obtaining the Bomb Bag does not mean you've found everything.
After Landfill
Return to:
Balana Dump
Use Bombs to access obstacles that blocked you earlier.
Balana Dump also contains multiple treasure chests for completionists.
Afterward, return toward Steel Town.
