Now that I can squid under the closing gate reliably, I am determined to make this side route work for the Carbon Roller Deco. The Seeker this time takes a really nice line, letting me recoup ink and splatting the wall to squid up. I hit my head, which isn't ...

The battle to burst the Rainmaker's Shield is tight, the decisive moment being the Splash-o-matic's Suction Bomb Rush charging, which poses problems for us by itself. I push up when it looks safe, hoping to catch up with the Rainmaker scooting off down the side. But it's not quite safe ...

Look at all those Seekers! It's beautiful. There's a Suction Bomb too, not one of ours, and I just about get out of its way before it explodes, unlike a couple of green inklings and the Rainmaker's Shield. But my stay is temporary, and I turn back only to be ...

My standard gambit on Camp Triggerfish Splat Zones works smoothly, and an opportunistic flick gets my first splat, no doubt surprising the purple inkling coming over the wall. With no opposition, I push forwards early, crossing the bridge and dropping down on what looks like an easy splat, but the ...

Those Sprinklers are tenacious. Long-range weapons also have an obvious advantage in Camp Triggerfish Splat Zones. I doubt my Carbon Roller's flick would reach across the gap at all. But we play to our strengths, so I keep the local turf inked as my squidmates head off to engage the ...

We get to our Splat Zone cleanly enough, and two of us go through it. I turn back, as is normal, to help secure the Splat Zone. The blue team are pushing early to contest it, though. One squidmate succumbs to the ink, and although I repel one intruder, I ...

My standard gambit in Camp Triggerfish Splat Zones with the Carbon Roller Deco works well again, and I turn away from our Splat Zone with supernatural timing to avoid being splatted. Hopefully this is a good omen, but I'm sure it's just luck. I look to cover some blue ink, ...

I'm a little lucky not to get splatted by that Carbon Roller when I first go down the side, but we lose the Splat Zones anyway, my Disruptor misses the E-litre 3K, and I'm too slow with my Bubbler against the .52 Gal. So it goes. To make matters worse, ...

I get lucky avoiding that Carbon Roller at the mad rush for the Tower, and I celebrate by taking a swim, rather than aiming for the Bamboozler. I'm sure I had my reasons. My aim lets me down a little as the Carbon Roller forces me back, but I suppose ...

Woo, look at the brush go, tentacles flapping away! That gives us a really swift path to the Tower, and I chance squidding past it. I get a lucky direct hit for the first splat, persuading the other yellow inklings to retreat. A couple of indirect hits gets a second ...
