Finally unlocking skills will make life easier in game

In the previous post Hell Pie - Where is the jungle bash at I had gotten further into the Jungle Ritual Site before I had the thought, of traveling back to Hell to work out upgrading skills.. well I managed to find them in the map menu as another tab, because I don't generally open it but proceeded to upgrade skills right away, starting with the additional swing to help those tougher gaps to be closed and followed by the swing refill to potentially help save me too.

Next was the vertical Nugget throw which helps launch me off the ground and upward which then allowed unlocking another swing to help out a lot, along with the additional heart unlock I totally needed ages ago as well!

Once I followed up with the ground slam unlock I was able to get the vertical Nugget air throw which, sounds like I can use it to get higher in case I mess up jumps, going to come in handy when in a bit of a pickle.

Once I was back in the Jungle, I had to make my way through the Ritual Site's areas already beaten so I could reach the next spot. This had those sound wave masks now on moving pillars, just what I needed to get more annoyed at. It was easy to get passed it and to the next checkpoint and luckily I got to it, because I ended up dying while testing the vertical Nugget air throw!

I was able to see the next way I would have to go and I was not being patient with it so I did some jumping and falling, I made my way with swings and jumps to cross the big gaps and I was able to reached the next lower platform with ease.

Charging at a familiar looking set of breakable rocks at the end of the bridge, it leads to a ramp down that has thorns to avoid and then a checkpoint at the bottom.. this time is was different and it looked more like an end area, at least I think it looks like one.

So I ended up getting through the first bit to reach a higher point which leads to getting hit by the spike trap coming out of the wall while narrowly avoiding the maggot spitting plant thing. There were a couple of deaths just before this but I managed okay!

I make my way to the top of the platform for this ritual site and the sacrifice they want to do. This guy didn't like it one bit and said how much of a shame it would be, if the boulder was knocked down early and said it sarcastically.

Well that was queue for me to knock that bastard down and keep it going all the way to the bottom where, well the one waiting was crushed by the giant boulder and this gave out the next ingredient I was needing for the pie.

Once I had gotten back to Hell's kitchen and passed the ingredients on I realised.. no new level was unlocked and I still had 3 to get in the jungle alone, which is where I ended up going back to and it started off not being too bad and may stay like this too. I used the arm horns wisely so I could travel along to the area of one of the bugs, with the last dash seeing me use the jumping and swinging to reach the checkpoint, then get the first bug.

While looking for the next bug ingredient, I found the horned creature for sacrificing and a tin for upgrading my next skill when I had enough. Then I found the next one high up and harder to get.. I died multiple times trying to get onto the flying bug platform things so I can reach the ingredient but it wasn't working out!

I checked my skills and saw I could unlock an additional swing now which I wasted no time doing so. This meant I was able to now reach the next bug ingredient to have 2 of the required 3 to complete this area.. it got me feeling good about getting to the third one.

After checking the teleporter map for where I hadn't looked and making my way into some cave, I found a nugget outfit to go with the nate outfit found amongst the trees.

Further down into this cave after killing off multiple lizards, I found the poopy soldiers once again and it had been a bit now. Easy enough though and then some jumping around, looking and then easy enough I had found the final ingredient which would mean I could unlock a new world to explore and I was going to head right back to Chef to do so.
