Gloomy Gem Grotto is a large and dark ice cave located in Glitterglaze Glacier. Initially, the cave is pitch black, but upon consumption of Fireflies, Yooka will go into his Luminous form, which will provide light for the duo to see inside the cave.

The grotto's entrance is found underwater below the shore of Glittertrio Towers.

Pre-Expansion

  1. Traverse through Gloomy Gem Grotto: Gloomy Gem Grotto is a dark cavern that can be challenging due to the lighting, controls, and Power Meter limits. By using the Slurp State ability on the nearby fireflies, Yooka will become luminous and his glow will allow the player to see everything in a short radius.. After the first section, the player will be forced to use the Reptile Roll due to the slippery ice. By the end of the whole obstacle, the player will be able to open the Pagie in a Cagie, as well as being able to open up a shortcut to the entrance.

Trivia[]

  • The duo enters this cave via underwater passage; interestingly, however, they are shown simply walking into the very dry cave afterwards.
  • Many players complain of how difficult it is to navigate the cave, as it is easy to fall off; however, one can simply exploit the game using Flappy Flight and avoid the ice paths.
  • In the Spit 'N' Polish Update, there were several changes to Gloomy Gem Grotto.
    • The first, third, and last pathway are now walkable. Previously, the player was forced to use the Reptile Roll.
    • A patch of fireflies was added to the first pathway
