How To Navigate The Stomach Mines In Mina The Hollower

Mina the Hollower is a game that wants you to hate it, but it’s so charming and addictive that you’ll find yourself bashing your head against a wall until you figure it out. One such area is the Stomach Mines, which you’ll find yourself in after getting to Bone Beach. To reach the Stomach Mines in the first place, you’ll need to find the area with a sparkly floor, which is in the upper east corner of the area near the beached creature.

Fall through the sparkly floor and follow the path to reach the Stomach Mines. Here, you’ll see a burrow in the center of the area surrounded by moving walkways. Go through the center burrow to be transported to a replica of that area with some more sparkly floor.

You can probably figure out that you need to fall through the floor again to reach areas that are impassable in the other version of this area. There are two buttons you need to hit to unblock the path ahead at the top of the room.

Clear out the enemies in the middle of the room before progressing.

Reach the first button by grabbing on to the bat handles to the left of the area and flinging Mina over the gap into the square-shaped hole. For additional goodies, fall down the smaller rectangular hole just below this to get a golden Skull.

Send Mina flying through the top square by using the bat handles.

The second button is slightly trickier to collect. You’ll need to head over to the right-hand side of the area after passing through the central burrow, and let Mina fall through the floor when the bat handles begin to despawn in the bottom corner. You should end up to the left of the key. From there, you can bounce on the purple ball to get to the switch. The switch will begin spawning more purple balls on the top conveyor.

Spawn more bouncy purple balls by standing on the switch.

When you have two or more balls on the top conveyor, bounce back down to the original place you fell, take out the obstacles by hitting the bottom one, and then bounce up several times to land on the platform with the second button.
