Move onwards until you reach a small clearing. You’ll remember this as the location where you were first able to use your thrusters to double jump. This was also the first time you kicked Flufferbirds inside the Meat Vortex plant. Fun memories!

But, rather than going there, look down and to the left. You’ll see several green pillars that are floating in mid-air. Jump to these pillars and throw Grapple Seeds on the barnacles below.
