Now that the Lava Caves aren't burning up, we can now explore the place for some cool stuff, find new destinations and even get some new objectives.
Now that the insides of the Lava Caves are no longer on fire, we can head over there and explore. Of course, that means making the arduous trek to them in order to get in there.
Near the end of the first section of Phoenix Mountain, if you can somehow get up on the platform near the end, you can go left and talk to a guy with a shield and spear. If you do, he says "Funga." This triggers the "What's a Funga?" objective, which you won't be able to complete for a while. There are also some branches you can swing on, but you're better off saving them for later when the wind dies down.
At the Lava Caves, equip the Grapple and the Funky Parasol. Use the Grapple to go straight up at the entrance and get to the Evil Pig Door. When you see it, un-equip the Funky Parasol, equip the Jewel of Fire and jump towards the door. You'll face the Pink Evil Pig.
To beat the Pink Evil Pig, get to the platforms at the top, then pounce on the Pink Evil Pig when he appears and toss him in the bag when the opening is facing you. The Pink Evil Pig will teleport in and out and shoot thunderbolts down. Watch for waves of energy to see where the thunderbolt will land, and remember that if the thunderbolt hits a platform, it will shock all of the platforms that share its color...so watch where you're standing! If you have a hard time not getting shocked, use the Jewel of Fire for temporary invincibility. For beating the Pink Evil Pig, you'll break the curse on the Haunted Mansion.
From here, we can explore the Lava Caves. Use the Grapple to latch onto the bottom of a platform and pull yourself up, and use the Funky . Along the way, you'll find Bunk Flowers. You'll need to get five of these to get the Phoenix back to good health.
Somewhere up top in the Lava Caves is a guy on a cliff in the wall. He is there because the area where he is standing is shielded from the heat of the lava, and by continuing to talk to him, he will tell you that he lost a very important item that he was taking care of for his boss, and came back here to look for it. Unfortunately, the heat made it unbearable. This triggers the "The Troubled Thief" objective. Thankfully, there is an area near the top that you'll need to use the Grapple to latch onto the orange plant platform between a wall and a cliff, and on the cliff is a white sack. This is What The Thief Lost. No, seriously, that's the name of the item. Make sure not to touch the red glowing parts of the walls on the way up, as they will damage you. Bring it back to the thief you met earlier by going up to him and using it as an item, and you'll complete the objective.
The chests that you can open for now contain Charity Wings, extra lives and Lunch Boxes. One of the 100 Year Old Chests even carries a Vitality Max +1, and that chest will be in the lower-right corner of the Lava Caves. For best results, have the Funky Parasol equipped and press Down to speed up your descent once you open the chests so you can get the contents. Thankfully, if you don't get the contents, the chests will re-spawn, giving you a second chance at the treasure.
The demon pigs that fly around can be ridden on, and you can float on them to make it easier to get somewhere. You can even change directions while doing this. I don't figure this out until later in the Let's Play, though.
At the other end of the Lava Caves is the entrance to the Phoenix's Nest. Here, you'll meet the Phoenix again. I don't do anything yet, though
If you leave and come back after completing "The Troubled Thief," you'll find What The Thief Lost. Touch it to grab and trigger the "What The Thief Forgot" objective. Head back to the Haunted Mansion, now that you've broken the curse, and go up to the chimney. The thief you met earlier will be hiding there. Stand next to him and use What The Thief Forgot to give it back and complete the objective. You'll get two pieces of Cheese in return.
