The first half of ZZZ‘s Icedrift Hollow: Mid-Level requires you to unlock several gates by pressing the blue switches. Although you can stand on top of these switches, the door won’t stay open unless there is an object continuously pressing down on them.

The first and second levels of the Icedrift Hollow: Mid-Level Challenge stage are connected. In the first level, you can find two blue switches, but there are no obstacles you can use. You must immediately head to the second floor, using the fissure on the bottom right.

  1. Enter the second floor via the fissure.
  2. Grab the first Investigation Sample.
  3. Push the first obstacle up one room.
  4. Turn right and push the second obstacle into a fissure.
  5. Push the first obstacle to your left.

Once the two obstacles drop on top of the switches on the first floor, you can return to the first level via one of the smaller fissures you created. Then, you need to pass through the gate to grab the second Investigation Sample. There will be another fissure on the bottom left that will take you to the second floor. This time, you can grab the third Investigation Sample and enter the third level.
