In the first stage, "The Champion Duelist", you need to avoid the projectile barrage that comes from the barrage-firing device located at the center of the barrage. Destroying the device adds one count to the objective counter. Destroy five devices to complete the mini-game stage.

It is recommended to use the special ability provided to stop the barrage for easier dodging. You may also find it helpful to stop and wait for the sinking platforms to come back up before proceeding.

However, being hit by a projectile makes you invisible, allowing you to briefly bypass the barrage. Do note that failing to dodge a barrage and getting hit removes one heart from your "health bar".
Rainbow Eye

In the second stage, "Rainbow Eye", there will be two phases. In the first phase, you will need to cut away fast-moving seagrass, with each subsequent grass moving faster than the last. Use your special skill to slow down time to make the cutting easier.

In the second phase of "Rainbow Eye", there will be two conveyor belts and an array of boxing gloves. The gloves will be sent down the conveyer belt, and you need to hit as much gloves as you can.

You can use a character with long or wide-reaching normal attacks such as Nahida to hit more gloves than usual.
Doctor When

In the third stage, "Doctor When", the goal is to reach the treasure key through an obstacle course that features moving platforms and moving walls. Use the special ability to slow down time and maneuver through the obstacles with ease. Falling off would result in losing 1 point of health.
Commission: Impossible

In the fourth stage, "Commission: Impossible", you will have to claim the treasure key through a series of lasers that will damage you if touched. The first and second phases will have you navigate through several passages full of lasers. Use your special skill to slow down time to make dodging easier. Getting hit causes you to lose 1 point of health.

In the third phase, you will be stand on a platform and dodge lasers that will come your way. Parts of the platform will periodically collapse. Use your special skill to slow down time in order to reposition yourself away from the lasers.
The Engineer's Code

In the fifth stage, "The Engineer's Code", you will have to collect all the coins in an area to proceed to the next one while avoiding enemy slime balloons that will chase and damage you if touched. Use your special skill to slow them down and run past or around them.
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under Fontemer

In the final stage, "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under Fontemer", you will chase down an Auric Anglerfish and maneuver through a series of obstacles underwater to claim the treasure key. Use your special skill to slow down time to navigate through the various obstacles.

Upon finding the Auric Anglerfish surrounded by explosive barrels, use your skill to slow down time and trigger the explosives to immobilize the Auric Anglerfish and release the treasure key.
