If you haven't scanned a Beetle or Fecal Beetle yet, the game should automatically prompt you to go and grab this next item simply through story progression, but if it doesn't, go and scan the beetle to make sure this part of the mission pops.
We now need to progress much further north than we have done before on Stellaris Prime. This Proton Whip that we're after can be used to destroy, not just growths on the back of beetles, but also blocked walls like this one (pictured below).
If you survey the area nearby, the game does, on occasion, prompt to where your destination is located and in this instance, it's high up to the east in the acidic jungle section.
There's a Teleporter nearby so be sure to activate this before hopping over the orange mushrooms.
At the end of the path, make sure you have you Hose equipped. Aim for the bulb at the base of the tree (pictured above) and hit it with water. This will cause it to expand out into a platform.
Use your double jump after hitting the first platform and then progress up the tree, being sure to look up whenever a bulb is located to make more platforms.
There Are also Amber-spitting flowers here, which can be destroyed by spraying them with water, along with green blobs that ca be eliminated in the same way too.
Once you reach the top of the platforms, you'll find the crate covered in green goo. Use your Hose to wash off the dirt, then hit Square (X) to open it up and gain the Proton Whip.
This will be equipped immediately, and it will also complete this part of the mission too.

'It's a reminder of childhood': How Pac-Man changed gaming
"Pac-Man [the character] was designed to represent the core concept of the game, 'to eat', in the simplest way possible," Michiko Kumagai, the licensing manager for the iconic character at the game's publisher, Bandai Namco, tells the BBC. "Just like the McDonald's arches, he's become an internationally recognised symbol. At one glance everyone can understand what Pac-Man means instinctively, [which] is why Pac-Man has reached such a wide audience." Reach a wide audience it certainly has. Originally called PuckMan in Japan, a reference to the Japanese phrase "paku paku taberu", which means to gobble something up while producing a greedy, jaw-snapping sound, Pac-Man is the most successful coin-triggered arcade game of all time, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. The character remains an enduring symbol even today, with the franchise having generated an estimated $14bn in revenue, from both arcade machines and dozens of re-releases on home consoles; the games have appeared on everything from the Nintendo Entertainment System [NES] to the Xbox 360. Pac-Man has also racked up awareness-boosting cameos over recent years in big budget animated kids films including Wreck-It Ralph (2012) and Pixels (2015), while last month Bandai Namco released Shadow Labyrinth, a game that provides a fresh spin on the beloved Pac-Man gameplay. Why the game works so well "Pac-Man is one of the figureheads of the birth of mainstream video gaming," Peter Etchells, professor of science communication at Bath Spa University tells the BBC. "There was an elegant simplicity to its gameplay and design that I think captured a lot of players' imaginations." You don't need to be a hardcore gamer to appreciate the character's core purpose of strategic nibbling, with Pac-Man's gameplay both refreshingly simple and, ultimately, difficult to master. When it came to the original, gamers could either frenetically run around without much thought or, like many people did back in the 1980s, religiously read a How to win at Pac-Man guide that taught you how to memorise hundreds of complex maze patterns and optimal paths. Such tactical preparation would make you war-ready to compete at a Pac-Man tournament – of which thousands have been hosted worldwide.

New Mario game kept me up until 1am – it's a perfect multiplayer title for kids this summer or late nights with pals
Sean Keach, Head of Technology and Science Published: Invalid Date, A GREAT measure for a game is when it's so fun, you completely lose track of time. Ticking that box is Nintendo's revamped Super Mario Party Jamboree, which kept not only me but six pals awake until 1am. If you've got kids, this is an absolute dream family title. 11 11 The game actually came out in October 2024, but it's just been upgraded for the new Nintendo Switch 2. WHAT IS SUPER MARIO PARTY JAMBOREE? This new version has some extra modes and mini-games, but it's largely the same game. Super Mario Party Jamboree (Nintendo Switch 2), £66.99 Buy at John Lewis And it really is a good game. If you're new to the Mario Party franchise, it's basically a giant collection of mini-games with very low barriers to entry. You can just pick it up and play. It's fine to play solo, although it's way better if you've got someone else with you. We had friends visit recently, and it kept us up late into the night. It's moreish, like spicy crisps. Or most other Mario games. If you've ever played Jackbox Games, Mario Party serves a similar purpose. It's packed with loads of Mario-themed mini-games. Some of them demand speedy reactions, while others will challenge your memory. And some even involve physical movement – like flapping your arms in the air while holding the Joy-Con controllers to fly. If you're alone then you'll play against the computer. The Sun tries new Nintendo Switch 2 and Mario Kart before it's out But with friends, you can take on each other – or even team up – in a bid to win. SUPER MARIO PARTY JAMBOREE GAMEPLAY The good thing is that all of the games are very simple. There are dozens on offer, and you'll easily pick any of them up in seconds. And they're all bright, colourful challenges where you'll play as (and alongside) iconic Mario characters. 11 11 One fun game saw me collecting coins on shifting sands. Spiky bars rolled right at me, so I had to quickly sidestep or leap in the air to dodge them. Another had me yanking bread out of an oven – but only once it had baked to perfection. Too soon? No coins! You can enjoy a sort of 'Grand Prix' of mini-game series, so you'll earn points after a few rounds – and then see who came out on top. If you've got four people playing at once, it's very high energy. This is great for a child's party, or an adult's party for that matter. 11 The Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game has some clever upgrades. They're mostly tucked into a new section of the game called Jamboree TV. One of the main differences here is a set of games built for mouse-style controls. That's made possible by the Switch 2's upgraded Joy-Cons, which can be placed on a surface to work just like a computer mouse. 11 But it's worth noting that mouse control games require a single Joy-Con per person and a surface. Oh, and you can't use the Pro Controller for those games either, as it doesn't have mouse functionality. If you have the Nintendo camera accessory (keep in mind, this is £50!), you can play three games that make use of it. It's a bit like the old Xbox Kinect camera system. One involves following physical commands, which is fun if you like moving around. Probably the best is Goombalancing Act, where you try not to drop Goombas balancing on top of your head. So what's bad? Well, there are a few downsides. It took me quite a while to actually get playing. I'd say there's a good five minutes of unskippable content before you can start. It's not the end of the world, but I'd rather have just been able to get going right away. As well as that, the game has a £66.99 price tag attached. So you'll want to make sure you're going to get enough use out of it. IS SUPER MARIO PARTY JAMBOREE WORTH BUYING? It's always tempting to just stick on Mario Kart. And the new Mario Kart World is very good. 11 In fact, it's probably enough reason to buy a Nintendo Switch 2 alone. But Super Mario Party Jamboree is a great alternative with loads of variety, and sparks a bit more chat than a regular Mario Kart game. You're also far less likely to see major skill differences on this versus Mario Kart. Rather than one person always winning, you might be good at one mini-game and rubbish at the next. There's loads of variety so you won't get bored. And it's simple enough for basically anyone to play – even people who aren't used to holding game controllers. This really is as close as it gets to "fun for the whole family". It's not exactly cheap at £67, but if you snap it up now, you'll probably get loads of play-time in over summer. And then again at Christmas. The Sun says: One of the best "family" games out there – but it's perfect for a night with friends too. A mini-game treasure trove that will hook Mario fans, and convert everyone else. 4.5/5 Super Mario Party Jamboree (Nintendo Switch 2), £66.99 Buy at John Lewis 11 All prices in this article were correct at the time of writing, but may have since changed.

My cultural awakening: Minecraft taught me how to navigate life as a transgender person – one block at a time
Minecraft is my life. I got into it around 2012, when I was 23, and I've been playing ever since. It's a game of endless possibility. You can do anything in it. You can build your own houses, machines, businesses, and put your own personality on to it. It's an easy escape and can become quite addictive. It's just so much more colourful, fun and cosy than the real world. But when you play this game for a decade you start to learn this incredible lesson about patience. It's essentially a game where you build your world one block at a time. In the moment it's this lovely dopamine-drip exercise, but recently it's started to change my perspective on the world. You look back at what you've created and begin to appreciate all the work you've put in. I know that might sound silly. It's just a game about blocks. But until you zoom out with time and perspective you don't appreciate it for what it is. Since January, I've changed my approach to the game. We'd just shot my sitcom, Transaction, in the winter and it was a wonderful experience. But then Trump's inauguration happened halfway through and all this terrible messaging for transgender people came with it. It all got too much. Everything became about patching over that pain with personal achievement. And that's what Minecraft is on one level. You build and you build and you don't think about anything. But that's not a sustainable way to live. To stop and take a break and celebrate the things you have achieved – rather than trying to escape your worry by achieving more – is something I started to adopt. So I've basically been playing Minecraft but not really building anything for the last six months. I just walk around and look at the water and the fish and the trees in these beautiful worlds that I've built. It's got this strange sense of hygge about it. It's a game where you can go hell for leather, or you can relax and turn relaxation into a craft. It's a cosy game and I didn't notice that until I needed a cosy place to escape to. The little journeys you take can be amazing. You can walk past a tree and even though it essentially stays the same over the years, you remember how that tree felt five years ago. There was a wolf here back then. It's a living memory palace that also happens to be beautifully rendered.

There's no opacity. No light bouncing off the water. You can just see through it and you know it's water and you get that same refreshing feeling. There's also a night and day cycle but it's expedited. So every five minutes the moon comes up, the sun comes down. And at night-time things get quite scary in the game. You have to go inside or the monsters will get you. There's a primeval connection – like a rewilding in a virtual world. I don't know if it's the healthiest way to live but it works for now. When the world feels like it is moving incredibly fast, it's so helpful to think that it's all just a conglomeration of thousands and thousands of steps, thousands of tiny blocks being placed or moved. It's easy to forget that and think we've hit some sort of singularity where things have changed incredibly fast. That's not the case. It's just a series of tiny steps that are still happening. Minecraft constantly reminds me that we're in a state of movement. There's no big decision to be made now. We can go back and change things. We can take it down. Put it back together again. Take those components and change it into something new. Jordan's show, Is That a C*ck in Your Pocket, or Are You Just Here to Kill Me?, is at Assembly Square George Garden, Edinburgh, to 24 August.
