After the cleansing of the statue's palm, several Humpbacks will start swimming around the area. You can jump on top of them by floating up several of the red kelps surrounding the giant statue.

Stele Messages
"Wisdom of the Ancients"
COLLECTIBLE NAME | TIME STAMP | NOTES |
Fire Elemental | 00:00 | After falling down into a cavern |
Ghost Warriors | 00:15 | After coming out of the cavern and into a sea of snow, follow the statue landmarks until reaching the 2nd one |
Ghost Warriors Undoing | 00:38 | Reaching the end of the sea of snow and to and to an arched opening, at the end of the pass, make a right |
Forgotten Eras | 01:00 | Underneath one of the skeletal spines in the cavern with the huge skeletal dragon is a square shaped opening adorned with 2 heads. |
The Dual of the Sea | 01:26 | Following the perimeter across from the left bell switch and the blue wisp posts, head towards 2 broken bridges. On the left side at the foot of the broken bridge is a small opening highlighted by a brick path. |
The Great Shark | 01:57 | Hug the outer perimeter of the left switch platform |
"Horned Frog"
Between the main bell structure and the left one are two broken arched bridges. Head to the one closest to the main structure, turn around, and use your blue wisp boost in order to reach the other bridge and onto the lonely and cold Horned Frog.
Secret Shells
"Shadow Tundra Shell Collector"
COLLECTIBLE NAME | TIME STAMP | NOTES |
1 | 00:00 | After reaching the 2nd statue landmark with the Ghost Warrior Stele Message, keep straight until reaching the 3rd statue |
2 | 00:53 | After cleansing the other chain, take the chain up and across the sword all the way to its tip |
3 | 01:16 | Jump off the tip, landing back on the palm. Ride the chain towards a cavern opening all the way through. Make a right and into a hidden opening once you see the end of the cavern and before the 3 pillars on both sides. |
4 | 02:03 | After the dizzying cylindrical tunnel, you'll see a lit up open window before the exit on the right hand side. |
5 | 02:18 | After exiting the cavern, make your way to the right before reaching the top of the mountain. You'll spot a broken bridge with the baby jellyfish boost and make your way to the end of 3 broken bridges |
6 | 02:46 | Head back up to that bridge. This time, look towards an opening through a mountain. Here you'll see a skeletal dragon. Once you've cleansed the sea, float up a nearby red kelp in an attempt to see a shiny secret shell booger in the dragon's nose! |
7 | 02:52 | After obtaining The Great Shark Stele message hug the statue until you're behind it |
8 | 03:03 | Before reaching the red tower with the right bell switch, you'll come across an arched rock formation. The shell is on top of it. You can't just surf up it or jump up normally. The best way is to use a snowy surfaced area to the left side of the arch utilizing your boost and holding down the jump button for max height |
9 | 03:21 | To the right of the red tower housing the right bell switch, there is a rock formation (the one without the shark statue on it) and hidden behind it is a shell |
10 | 03:48 | To the left of the main bell structure, you'll see narrow opening covered in tall icicles. |
