How To Complete The Secret Of The Cave Side Quest In Mario + Rabbids: Sparks Of Hope
You’ll first come across this quest in the Pristine Peaks area of Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope. For the first part, your objective will point you in the direction of where you need to go, so simply enter the cave you’re asked to venture towards. Unfortunately, it’s not as easy as simply stepping inside, as there are a few more steps to follow to continue this quest.
In the first area, you’ll be greeted by a puzzle involving a block in the middle and a Rabbid pipe on the upper levels. Firstly, ensure you’ve moved the block over to the left-hand side, and then traverse up to the highest level by using the Rabbid pipe on the right side, followed by climbing the ladders.
Once up top, you’ll cross over a stone bridge in front of two skull eyes and see another Rabbid pipe. And use this and then cross over the block you moved to the left-hand side when you entered. Alongside the wall, ignoring the exit back outside, you will notice some cracks across them. Break these down and inside the hidden room, you will find a Darkness Puddle which you can interact with.
Having interacted with it, you will begin the combat portion of this quest, which tasks you to survive three rounds of enemies. It’s recommended to be at least level 15 before taking on this portion of the quest, so be sure to pick your best characters for the job. After you’ve survived all three rounds, you will be put back into the cave and be awarded Planet Coins for your hard-earned efforts in beating Secret of the Cave in Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope.
