It doesn’t matter if they are new players of Bugsnax on Switch and Xbox or if you’re a veteran Meriensect hunter on PC and PlayStation, you’re probably already looking for Greater Bug Island in the DLC. The Isle of Bigsnax and this guide tells you exactly where it is and how to start exploring it.
remember to read our review of the Nintendo Switch version.
Where is the Island of Great Bugs and how to start the DLC of Bugsnax?
You don’t need to have completed the game’s story to be able to visit the new area, but you do need to progress almost to the end. If you have already beaten the game, you can continue the game just before the point of no return to complete these quests. We must have convinced Estrefanía, Adonis, Inventín, Chamala and Proti to return to the village, But that is not all. To start the DLC content of Bugsnax, Isle of Bigsnax and make way to the Island of the Great Insects the most important thing is to complete the series of optional quests in Inventin.
Here we explain what you should do to satisfy this paranoid greluche once he is in Pueblo Picnic:
Optional Inventin Missions
banana smoothie
We must catch a Chinchara Banara and feed it. We will find it in Glazed Summit and it is very aggressive. We also need to thaw it before we can catch it. We can put a rope launcher in his path by lighting it on fire using one of the bonfires or we can light the bugball on fire before throwing it at him.
turn on!
We must light all the braziers in Picnic Town using the rope launcher. Remember that you can take advantage of the bonfire in the center of town to make them. If they are missing one, it is probably on one of the roofs or near the entrance to the town.
cake boss
You have to travel to the Glazed Summit and start the Papa Longcake boss fight. To defeat him we have to light his candles, preferably using the rope launcher from a brazier or torch, and chase him to a new area to do the same. Once caught we must feed it to Inventín.
The way to the Island of Great Bugs opens, but we still can’t visit it
Once all this is done, Inventín will appear in the center of town. If he doesn’t, we’ll have to go a little further in the plot. He will surely appear at the same time that Filbo wants to start the party that marks the point of no return.
Iventin he will ask us to follow him to Burning Springs, sometimes called Boiling Springs. There we will see the new island emerge from the sea. We have to recruit Estrefanía, Proti and Chamala to explore it.
If you want to start the DLC of Bugsnax, The Isle of Bigsnax, we will have to perform more tasks that we will indicate in this guide. None of those greluches will be willing to travel until we’re done with their optional quests. We are going to tell you what you need to do to complete them.
Strephania Optional Quests
What a relief!
We traveled to the Relish Falls and we examine a stone greluche found in one of the caves. After speaking with Estrefanía, He will ask us for a Cucumber. It is close and we can easily catch it by throwing cheese sauce at it so that a Sanpiés runs over it or a moscoliva unprotects it.
dead man’s chest
We explore the empty chest that we found on one of the small islands de Bubbling Bay and we reported it to Estrefanía, then we must feed him a Paletabajo
A summit to remember
we just have to visit Glazed Peak with her and follow her to the top of the mountain.
A summit to forget
we just have to talk to Estrefanía after completing the visit to Glazed Summit.
Talking to her again after completing the quests will make her join the expedition to Great Bug Island.
Chamala Optional Quests
Lunch time
We just have to offer any Meriensect to the box that he installs in Pueblo Picnic.
Meriensect Dreams
We have to offer the same box the following creatures:
- Lechoruga: We can easily catch her in the secret cave of Condiment Falls when she comes to the surface.
- Cochiorange green: We just have to use a Bugball in a crack of Scorched Throat and wait for it with a trap at the exit.
- Quesarajo: If you can’t find a way to get through a rope launcher on your way, you can douse it with gravy or tomato sauce when it passes near a Paparabajo. He will take care of the rest.
fake idol
Three more Meriensects must be donated to Chamala’s box:
- Donapiés: It is in the same tower of the Glazed Forest where we got the rope launcher, but we recommend having a rope launcher or a trap ready at the bottom before luring it with chocolate sauce or it will roll out.
- Palettarabajo: We already caught one in Strephania’s quests, chances are we’ll have another one caught.
- Bacon: As with the Quesarajo, we can bathe it in quejo or tomato sauce to attract a Paparabajo towards it.
Yet another greluche for the DLC scouting team The isle of Bigsnax from Bugsnax.
Optional Proti Missions
volunteers needed
we just have to ask the other greluches of Pueblo Picnic if they would help Proti in his experiments.
The Last Supper
We must feed Proti enough Meriensects to change all his body parts: two feet, two legs, two hands, two arms, two horns, teeth, head, nose and body. A total of 14, but surely we have already changed some of its parts by this time.
Mental games
Help Proti with his experiment putting a Meriensect in the funnel and then talking to Proti. If we do not have Meriensectos at that time, the game will give us a Fruitid.
At the end of Proti’s missions we have to talk to him again and ask him to help his brother in the expedition.
A new adventure!
With Inventín, Adonis, Estrefanía, Chamala and Proti reunited in Burning Springs, we can finally begin the adventure on the island of the Great Bugs.
We hope that this guide has been useful to you and that you enjoy the DLC of Bugsnax, The Isle of Bigsnax.
