the volcanic mines of ginger island are
home to new enemies new items
and most importantly a new forge that
allows you to upgrade weapons
enchant tools combine rings and change
weapon appearances
what we'll cover today is how to access
the volcanic mines enemies you can
expect to see
what goodies you can get out of it and
how to get all the way through them if

the list of items you'll need to make
your way through the volcanic mine is a
lot shorter than the skull cavern
all you'll need is a watering can a good
sword like a galaxy sword or a lava
katana
and food that heals somewhere around 40
or 50 a piece to get there we'll first
have to get to ginger island which many
of you by this point are aware you need
to take willy 5 iridium bars
5 battery packs and 200 hardwood to
repair his ship after you get to the
island go to the right
watch the leo cut scene and return back
to the main beach area
after you return back to the main beach
area you'll see a little flying fire guy
which you'll follow all the way to the
mines
in the first area you'll see there's a
river of lava that you cannot cross but
hinted by the pipe dripping water
onto the lava you can use your watering
can to turn the lava into obsidian and
cross safely
you can also bridge your way over to the
left which once you go through the door
you can find a golden walnut which is
used to unlock other pieces of content
on the island returning back to the main
area we'll come across our first enemy
of the mines the tiger slime
they behave in the same way as slimes
from the regular mines but they do a bit
more damage and have a bit more health
once we enter the first level we'll come
across the flying fire guy who is no
longer a friend
this guy behaves in a similar way to the
way that bats do in the regular caves
except
again he does more damage and has more
health there's an enemy that is very
similar to the flying fire guy who i
will refer to as the dashing fire guy
he works in the same way as the flying
fire guy except sometimes he will dash
at you like slimes do once they charge
up
this attack will do a decent bit of
damage on you and it will also slow you
down for a couple of seconds
for this reason i found the strategy to
kill these guys is to not allow them to
get into the black space where you can't
hit them
and attack them as they're charging up
their dash you also come across a guy
swimming around in the lava who will
shoot fireballs at you
each of them doing more than 20 damage
this monster cannot be damaged while
he's swimming under the lava and he is
also not damaged by the watering can
additionally there's another enemy i
believe is called the hot head and when
its health reaches zero its fuse will
light on top of its head and it will
blow up after a few seconds
this enemy's not difficult to deal with
just make sure that you're not close to
it when it blows up
the final enemy i came across was the
flying sentry he's very slow and doesn't
do a lot of damage but i feel like
there's more to him because of this page
i came across in the journal
just like in previous minds you'll come
across copper iron and iridium ore
but you'll also come across a new cinder
shard occasionally you'll also come
across a forageable dragon tooth which
is used in the warp totem to get to the
island
enemies drop a variety of different
resources but the most notable ones
being ginger
cinder shards and golden walnuts as
opposed to the 120 levels of the normal
mine and the endless nature of the skull
cavern the volcanic mine only has 10
different levels to it
this is laid out in the form of four
regular levels then one dwarf pit stop
four more regular levels and then the
forge unlike the regular caves in the
skull cavern
you don't reveal ladders by breaking
rocks and killing enemies to move on
instead you traverse across the level
and find the door to gain access to the
next floor
a lot of the time this just comes down
to navigating your way around the rocks
in the lava
but sometimes the door could be locked
behind a gate the gate is activated by
one to three pressure pads
the number of which is indicated on the
door by the red lights sometimes the
pads could be very close to the gate but
other times you might have to wander
around the level before you can find it
at one point when i was playing last
night i even had to use my watering can
to get to this pressure pad
but once you've stepped on all the
pressure pads the door simply opens and
you can move on to the next spot
upon entering level 5 you'll come across
a dwarf with a shop a place to fill up
your water and a place to rest from
enemies for a while
for 100 cinder shards the dwarf will
sell you cinder clown shoes which offer
a plus
six defense and plus five immunity bonus
he'll sell you cherry bombs for 300 gold
big bombs for 600 gold or mega bombs for
a thousand gold for 1200 gold you can
also buy a roots platter dish which
offers a plus three attack bonus
for 10 000 gold you'll be able to unlock
the recipe for the warp totem to the
island which is crafted using five
hardwood
one dragon tooth and one ginger you can
also unlock the recipe for ginger ale
for a thousand gold which you use three
ginger and one sugar to create
once you've reached level 10 you've
unlocked the forge which can be used to
upgrade
a variety of weapons and tools i'm going
to be releasing a full guide on this
very soon so if you're more interested
in specific details regarding the forge
make sure to check that out
once you're done with the forge you can
exit via the bottom left which will
bring you back to the starting area
from now on you'll be able to access the
forge right from the beginning area
without having to go through the
previous nine levels
although on future days you will not be
able to work your way backwards through
the mine because the gates will once
again close
that's all i have for now though like i
