− | '''Professor Snail''' lives on [[Ginger Island]] and runs the [[Island Field Office]]. Initially he is trapped inside a mushroom cave by a large boulder. The cave is on the north side of the fossil quarry. It is only accessible after paying {{Price|10|Walnut}} [[Golden Walnut]]s to the parrots. The player must free him by blowing up the boulder with a [[Crafting#Bombs|bomb]] or [[Explosive Ammo]] (1 hit with a [[Master Slingshot]] or 2 hits with a regular [[Slingshot]]). | + | '''Professor Snail''' lives on [[Ginger Island]] and runs the [[Island Field Office]]. Before freeing him, Professor Snail is trapped in a cave on the northeastern side of the Dig Site. The Dig Site is accessible to the player by paying the parrots {{Price|10|Walnut}} [[Golden Walnut]]s to repair the bridge near the field office. Once the bridge has been repaired, he can be freed with any explosion (from a [[Crafting#Bombs|bomb]] or [[Explosive Ammo]]). One hit with any [[Weapons#Slingshot|slingshot]] works, but the player must aim carefully. |
