Do you kill every chak on every platform or do you get the bulk of them and move on?
There’s not enough time to be thorough with the platforms. If there are a lot of chak grouped up on the platform you can lure them into the skill 5 fire field but they don’t follow as easy as the chak on the ground. If you use the fire field on the platform you have time to glide to another platform right away and do a bit of flamethrowing skill 2 before going down on the ground for skill 5 again. The cooldown on skill 5 is about 15 seconds and it was the key skill for me.
There is one bouncing mushroom that goes to one of the lower platforms with only 2 eggs on it. If you have lean gliding you can glide straight to the second highest platform if you start forward towards the ledge of it as soon as you can during the jump. That platform also has a bouncing mushroom that takes you to the top platform so it’s quite convenient to do those two platform in a row, which will probably take more than 15 seconds so a fire field can be used on one of those platforms.

While getting gold for this one I figured that using skill 1 repeatedly was not efficient enough. Skill 5 is the big chak chewer and the goal is to make them stack up as much as possible so they can walk into the fire. Skill 3 packs quite a punch, interrupts(good for the “tougher” chak) and can be used to move around. I used skill 2 when on the platforms mostly because I wanted to clear the platforms as soon as possible so I could get down on the ground again.
Try to get to the main area as soon as possible and don’t break too many eggs on the ground, they’re handy to keep around for later when you’re going up to the platforms and down again. While up on the platforms the spawning chak will gather up and stack below you so when you drop down after clearing a platform you can drop a big juicy fire field to mop up a lot.
Speed shrooms and dodges are great for getting around and you get full endurance bar after popping an egg while being close to it.
Other than that you want to just figure out a route that works for you. It’s a tough one.
