• 4 Ribbon

Chest #1 to 4

Starting with the SW path, as soon as you enter keep stick to the left wall and don't go up until you can no longer go left. At the end of this path is 1 Ribbon.



Enter the SE path. A Ribbon will be immediately to your north.



Enter the NE path. The ribbon will be in the northwest corner of the room. It's hard to miss because it's directly on the path to the boss.



Enter the NW path. Keep hanging left and you will eventually get to the Ribbon. It's located roughly west of the area and north of where you enter.



With this you should have 100%. Congratulations!
