Sunken Scroll #6 – Propeller-Lift Playground: Past Octos and up a ramp, you’ll find a propeller-lift. Instead of riding it up, shoot the propeller to raise the elevator. Drop down through the hole beneath the lift to uncover an area containing the stage’s hidden scroll.

Sunken Scroll #7 – Spreader Splatfest: The Cap’n tells you to avoid the new spreaders. Jumping down one level, you’ll find the shifting purple brushes on your left. Ride one down beneath the purple platform to discover a secret alcove.

Sunken Scroll #12 – Flooder Junkyard: Past a flooder moving in a square pattern, there’s a small platform with an inkrail in the back left corner. Activate the inkrail and ride it a little bit, then turn around to spot a secret platform beneath the inkrail’s starting point. Activate the secret area’s own inkrail to get down there.

Sunken Scroll #13 – Shifting Splatforms: When you get the suggestion to climb the big thingamajig, don’t start climbing quite yet. Instead, swivel around the big thing’s corner to find a stack of three crates. The top crate has your scroll inside.

Sunken Scroll #14 – Octoling Assault: At the park, there’s a gusher launcher on a higher platform. Swing right and backtrack around the ledge to find a scroll crate hidden above the fracas.

Sunken Scroll #22 – Splat-Switch Revolution: Complete activating a splat-switch that revolves a large plus-sign shaped platform to reveal two enemies on the wings, avoid the warp floating in the center and swim around to the back of the platform. There’s an extra jutting ledge with a scroll crate.

Sunken Scroll #23 – Spongy Observatory: After a checkpoint, you’ll reach a jump with two tiny sponges that need ink to cross the gap. Before spraying them, look down and a little left or right. There are secret extra tiny sponges you can spray. Make the sponges enlarge, jump down, and discover a hidden platform with the scroll.

Sunken Scroll #24 – Pinwheel Power Plant: When Agent 1 warns you of an octotrooper on a pinwheel, ride the spinner to a platform left of the enemy with a crate. Smash the crate open to collect your scroll.
