Amulet Piece Loations:

• Sea Of Sand (Chapter 1-3): You will come to a spot where you need to make 4 earth pillars appear with your marker in order to cross the quicksand. Make the pillars small so you can jump across them to the lower section across from you as there will be an amulet piece just to the left of there
• Black Rock Canyon (Chapter 1-4): You will come to a spot with a Spikester on a raised section above you and a suction cup type enemy to your right on the ceiling of another raised section. Create an earth pillar up to the Spikester's platform and wait for it to move on to it, then destroy it dropping it to the lower level. Wait until the Spikester moves under the suction cup enemy and get picked up, then dropped back down with it attached to it. Jump on top of it and when you get back to where you can make the earth pillar, create one up to where the upper platform is so the Spikester can move back and forth between it and the pillar. Once it's back on the pillar, jump up to the upper right platform to collect the amulet piece
• The Crossing (Chapter 1-5): After completing a section where you need get past an enemy by using ropes & earth pillars you will go over a roof to the next area. If you look below you from the roof you will see a critter and a hole going into the structure you just went over. Drop down and avoid the critter and crawl into the hole, then move to the earth pillar spot and raise it all the way up and jump up to get the amulet piece
• Roots (Chapter 2-1): When coming out from where you get the branch drawing ability, you will come a spot with thorns below you with 2 branch draw spots on either side of it. Make your way down to the lower left area there and then climb down the vine there into the next area. Head to the left and move the box under the vine for later and then go through the hole it was blocking. In the next room the amulet piece will be in the upper left corner of the room. In order to get up there, make a long winding vine from the lower of the two spots on the right, then break it and use it as a platform to get up a branch you will make on the left side spot. Once on the left one, make a new vine down towards it from the lower of the ones on the right and then climb up it and jump up to a branch from the one above it. Now destroy the branch below you and make a new one aimed towards the amulet piece and then run across it and jump to collect the amulet piece
• Into The Wild (Chapter 2-2): You will get to a section with a broke bridge and a thorn section underneath the gap with a branch draw spot on the lower right and an earth pillar draw spot just to the left of it. Draw a branch as long as you can towards the left and then break it off. Next raise an earth pillar about half way up the hole with the branch being laid across it, then jump to it and get to the earth pillar to balance everything out. Now move your marker to the lower left section of the screen to find a hidden branch draw spot and make a branch upwards and to the right towards you, then jump to it and go into the hidden alcove area there to find the amulet piece.
• Father Oak (Chapter 2-3): When you reach the section where you need to slide down and jump over critters and a Spikester, then create vines while time slows down, when you reach the second vine, climb to the top and create a branch from the draw point above you on the left and attach as long of a vine as you can from the draw point at the top of the screen, then slice the vine to drop it down by you. Jump carefully from your vine to that one and climb up it on to the branch you created. Create a new vine from the top draw spot and jump to it, then swing back and forth to get enough speed to jump to the amulet piece in the upper left section there
• Tomb Of The Giants (Chapter 2-4): In the large area of the tomb where you must get the skulls to drop in the hole, make your way up to the top area and over to the section in the upper left where you find one of the skulls. While on that side, look across the wall to the right side area to see branch spot and create one that goes across at a slight angle down. Drop down and make your way over to the left side, create a vine from the ceiling spot and climb up to the little alcove on the upper right. Cut the vine, then create another one that attaches to the branch above you. Climb up the vine and then on top of the branch before jumping up to collect the amulet piece there
• Lost In The Dark (Chapter 3-1): When you come to an area where you must create a vine from the ceiling, then swing to a lower section, keep heading to the left and up the platforms until you see a glowing spider looking statue. From there, jump to the left and head up until you see the branch spot in the ceiling up above you. Create a branch that goes down and to the left, then cut the vine from the spot to your left and create a new one to attach to the branch. Climb up the vine and jump to the earth platform to the right, then jump over and collect the amulet piece
• Lantern Bugs (Chapter 3-2): When you come to the spot where the log breaks and drops you down, quickly create a vine to your left and jump to it to avoid falling into the water from the log. Next create a branch on the right side of the screen and swing to it, then run all the way to the stone portion on the wall and destroy that branch. Create a new branch that angles down towards the lower left and move down it to reveal a hidden earth pillar draw spot on the bottom left of the screen and create one that goes up about a little under half way up. Go back to the stone section to your right and destroy the branch, then create a new one up towards the vine and jump to it. Swing on the vine and jump off to land on the earth pillar you created, then destroy it to drop to the stone platform underneath you. When you land, just walk to the left to collect the amulet piece
• Sliding Escape (Chapter 3-3): After getting rid of the beast with the spikester at the beginning of the stage, ride up the earth pillar to the top area and make your way over to the thorn pit there. Create a branch that loops around up into the gap above you towards the left side up there. Climb up it and you will see the amulet piece up there, so jump up to collect it
• The Sacred Pool (Chapter 4-1): After you get the water stream ability, make your way until the spot where you create a little one to safely drop down, then head to your left. You will come to a spot where you need to create a water stream to cross a large gap, but instead of doing that, create a water stream up into the opening in the ceiling above you and then ride it up into the alcove up there. The amulet piece will be up there to your left.
• The Great Fall (Chapter 4-2): When you come to the spot where you knock the standing log over, make it to the base of there and then create a branch above you that is angling up a little. Jump on the fallen log and then onto the branch to make your way up to the section in the upper left behind it where the amulet piece is hidden
• Getting Warmer (Chapter 5-1): When you come to the spot where you must use a water stream on a lava blob to turn it into a stone, then move it to an earth pillar spot and ride it up in order to reach the higher area, turn around and jump to the left small section there. Jump up towards the upper left to find a hidden area & drop down the vine from the ceiling to climb up to the small alcove where the amulet piece is located
• Chamber Of Fire (Chapter 5-2): After you get the fireball attack, head to the next area and destroy the walls by the fireball draw spot, then hit the stalactite on the ceiling to drop it. Jump up on it and then to the left and jump up into the hole above the fireball draw spot. In that little room, just jump up to the left to collect the amulet piece
• Mustacho's Dungeon (Chapter 6-1): When you get into the section with the 6 doors, destroy the bottom & middle ones on your right, then go through the bottom one. Ride up the earth pillar there to the next level and go back into the previous room with the doors. Create a vine that arches up and around towards the top right platform and then one that arches down & around towards that one from the one above it to be able to climb up to that top platform. Once up there, break the top branch and create a new one that goes straight to the right towards the door way. Transfer the fire to the branch below you, then to the branch you just created from that one. Break the top branch and drag it into the room to the right and use the fire off it to destroy the blocks against the right wall. Go through it and drop down to the bottom area there, then create a branch from the middle part and jump to it. Break the branch and make one going in the opposite direct and then transfer the fire to it. Next connect a vine to it and break it so it falls and dangles by the lower left path there, then make your way down to that path. Use the fire from the branch to break the door there and go inside to find the amulet piece right in your path there
• Break Out (Chapter 6-2): When you enter the room with the 2 bomb throwing enemies on top of either side of the room, create a branch and break it, then transfer the fire to it. When it's safe, run to the branch and drag it onto the earth pillar spot, then run back to safety. Raise the earth pillar up and then use the fire to kill both enemies and destroy the blocks behind the one that was on the left. Drop the earth pillar and then ride it up yourself and jump to the left platform to go through the hole you made. In the other room will be the amulet piece on the left hand side
• Death By Lava (Chapter 6-3): At the very end of the stage when you are riding the water stream through the chopping blade area, when you are coming out of that section, aim your water stream straight so that it will toss you to a hanging platform on the ceiling up there. The amulet piece will be on that platform on the right side
• The Tower (Chapter (7-1): When you complete the vine/energy puzzle to activate the elevator, ride it up, but don't get off at the first stop, wait until it goes up to the second level. The amulet piece will be up there to the right
