Essentials
Open door and head past the longing tunnel, turn left and get through a longer tunnel, maneuver over the tight sideways of the room at the end of the tunnel until you reach the yellow key, turn a 180 degrees, jump down below and head to the right teleporter of the middle pillar, go through the tunnel until you reach the blue key, once taken backtrack to the teleporter you came from and go across a small slime crack, open the blue door. Go through the tunnel behind it until you see a rocky door beside some crates, open the door and take the red key behind it. Backtrack to the first tunnel of the map and flow yourself down the slime flow, open the red door at the end of the tunnel and step on the teleporter pad behind it. Go left or right and then down a much longer tunnel, fall down the slime flow at the end, send the Flembrane back to its dimension and go towards the trapped chex people hostages.
