Return to World Map via Jump Pad

After defeating Exor, your HP and FP will be fully restored, and you will move directly to the Weapon World. If you want to restock items, use the nearby jump pad or exit via the menu to prepare.
Proceed by Jumping on Nuts

In the Weapon World, there are narrow screw paths that you cannot walk on. By jumping on the nuts, the nuts will move, allowing you to cross over them.
If You Fall, a Jump Pad Returns You Up
If you fall off a nut, you can automatically return to the top via a jump pad.
At the Fork, Go Right

When you reach a fork in the nut path, proceed to the right.
Proceed Straight on the Nut

After going right, proceed straight on the next nut to reach the next area.
Press the Green Button to Proceed

Pressing the green button will make a path appear, allowing you to proceed. Enemies will fall from the path above the button, so if you want to avoid combat, move away quickly after pressing the button.
Hidden Treasure Chest at the Save Point

There is a hidden treasure chest to the bottom left of the save point, containing a full-heal Mushroom. A boss battle awaits ahead, so heal up and save.
"Ultra Hammer" in the Next Area

The treasure chest in the area one step ahead from here contains the "Ultra Hammer". If you have already obtained the "Lazy Shell (Weapon)", you don't need to equip it, but if not, it's a powerful weapon, so equip it.
Boss: Count Down Battle

- Prepare for status ailments and instant death.
- Count Down has a fixed action order.
- Defeat the Ding-A-Lings first.
- Fight while being mindful of weaknesses.
Proceed along the path to battle the alarm clock-like boss, Count Down. If you defeat Count Down without defeating the Ding-A-Lings, you won't receive experience points and coins, so be sure to defeat the Ding-A-Lings first.
Save Before Proceeding

A save point will appear after defeating Count Down, so save before proceeding.
Descend in the Conveyor Belt Area

When conveyor belts appear, you can descend from the white platform. If you go down and proceed, you'll find treasure chests with a Flower and a full-heal Mushroom. Collect them and return using the jump pad.
Cross to the Other Side and Proceed

Once you've crossed to the other side, proceed to the far right.
Proceed While Dodging Falling Arrows

In the area where many enemies flow on conveyor belts, arrows will fall from the sky. If hit, you'll be unable to move for a certain period, so proceed while dodging arrows and enemies.
Proceed Without Falling Off the Conveyor Belt

Running against the flow of the conveyor belt will only keep you in place, so generally, proceed by jumping. You won't fall off the narrow paths without conveyor belts, so feel free to run through them.
Ride the White Platform to the Other Side

Where the conveyor belt ends, ride the white platform to move to the other side. Then proceed to the right.
Climb the Conveyor Belt Stairs

In the next area, the conveyor belt is shaped like stairs. Mass-Produced Bowyers will fall from above, so dodge them as you climb.
Dodge the Axem Rangers and Proceed

After climbing the conveyor belt stairs, Axem Rangers will appear on the narrow path. Dodge them by jumping and proceed.
Defeat the Falling Mass-Produced Yaridovich

In the area where Mass-Produced Yaridovich fall onto blocks, defeating them will break the blocks, allowing you to fall down. A boss battle awaits below, so before that, proceed to the area in the far left.
Flower and Full-Heal Mushroom Available

Proceeding to the far left area reveals two treasure chests containing a Flower and a full-heal Mushroom. In preparation for the upcoming boss battle, heal up, then return to the previous area and save.
Boss: Cloaker & Domino Battle

- Prepare for Fear status.
- Defeat Domino first.
- Then defeat Cloaker.
- Switch between physical and magical attacks.
Descending leads to a battle with bosses Cloaker & Domino. Two enemies will appear, and defeating one will cause Earth Crystal or Mad Mallet to appear and combine with the remaining one. It's recommended to defeat them in the order of Domino → Cloaker → combined form.
Return to Save After Defeating the Boss
A series of boss rushes will follow, so after defeating Cloaker & Domino, return to the entrance of the Weapon World, exit, and save or prepare items. You can return to the Weapon World entrance from the menu.
