How to find boat propellers on Ruma Island

To find the boat propeller, players must first unlock the mountain biome in the game. The boat propeller is located at the top of this area. But you can't just run and catch it. There are many difficult enemies and encounters for you to go through.

From the start of the area, continue forward along the path to the right. To reach the top you have to circle the area. Thankfully, the first part of the trip is simple enough. Continue forward and you will reach an area with a rest area and two treasure chests ahead. From now on things will get difficult.

After passing the waterfall, you will arrive at a place with snowmen everywhere. These enemies are similar to the plant creatures encountered in the forest. You can run past them while avoiding their projectile attacks, or knock them down with your whip. When you get to the Colored Crystal Puzzle, follow the path on the right between the two stone pillars.

You will not take damage if hit by a projectile. It only freezes for a few seconds.

After crossing the rising waterfall for a while, you will come across the first obstacle section of the area. You must cross the snowy terrain while avoiding rolling snowballs. If correct, you will be taken to the beginning of that section. Remember the snowball pattern and move slowly through that section. To reach the next waterfall, you need to break two mountain rocks.

Players can find a mountainous fast travel point in the middle of this area.

The next section has a snowman that throws more projectiles. However, this time you'll be traveling through snowy terrain, which will slow your movement significantly.

Go to the nearby wooden structure and interact with it to use 10x Mountain Wood to build scaffolding. Then you can cross without getting hit by falling snowballs.

The next section is your first encounter with the Ice Crystal enemy. This enemy uses a spinning ice beam that sends you to the start of the encounter when you are hit. Thankfully, you can use Mountain Stones as cover. Time your run and use cover to get across.

The icy terrain in this area causes you to slide forward if you stop moving.

The next area is again an obstacle field with rolling snowballs. Just like before, remember the pattern and walk forward slowly to avoid bumping into anything. On the other side is another unfinished scaffolding that can be built with Mountain Wood. After that you have to go through another obstacle section. Continue forward until you reach the second ice crystal enemy.

The second encounter with the Ice Crystal enemy is much trickier. Since there's little cover to hide behind, you'll have to move out of range to get out of it. From the beginning, move forward and go to the far right edge to get out of range of the ice beam. When the beam moves away, quickly run to the Mountain Stone near the center.

From this point on, you may be tempted to run straight for the exit. However, if you do so, you will be hit by the beam and sent back to the starting point. Instead, run to the right edge of the mountain to avoid the beam reaching you. When the beam moves away, run to the exit.

You'll need to build two more scaffolds and get through another obstacle section involving snowball rolling, but you shouldn't have too much trouble for now. A boat propeller is waiting for you at the end of the obstacle area.

The red treasure chest beyond the mineable mountain stone contains the Villa Blueprint.

The Boat Propeller item may be difficult for players to access due to the snowy terrain that slows them down and the multiple obstacles in the mountain biome. Ruma Island. But now that you know exactly what awaits you when you head to the top of the mountain, planning your route will be easier.
