Gathering of the Beast Council is the thirtieth stage in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. It is the fourth stage of Redgar Forbidden Lands. It succeeds Burning, Churning Power Plant and precedes The Beast Pack's Final Stand.
General Information[]
This stage acts as a boss gauntlet, featuring many past Beast Pack bosses. Upon beginning the stage, Kirby will have to fight a few Primal Awoofies and pass a few meteors before reaching a staircase. Before the staircase is an Energy Drink along with the Ranger, Sword, Hammer, and Ice Copy Essences. After climbing the staircase, Kirby will be forced to fight Gorimondo. Once he is defeated, a car will spawn. Kirby must then use Car Mouth to drive through a narrow, enemy-filled course to rescue a timed Waddle Dee. Farther up, meteors will rain down on the track, destroying parts of it. Once he rescues the Waddle Dee, he can proceed through a narrow mountain valley to the next area.
Immediately after entering the section, Kirby is offered some Food and the Drill, Cutter, Fire, Needle Copy Essences, indicating another Boss fight. He can also fall off the ledge containing a single Pop Flower to discover a Gotcha Capsule. Once he climbs up a nearby ladder, Kirby will fight Sillydillo once more. After his defeat, Kirby must use Pipe Mouth to roll through a large sloped section. Kirby must often choose between jumping or not jumping at a ledge, either due to collectibles being on one path or due to a route being blocked. The final choice should be going down, as it leads to several Star Coin piles and a Waddle Dee. Kirby can then climb a staircase to the next section.
The following section starts off with the Ice, Bomb, Ranger, and Tornado Copy Essences as well as some Food items. The staircase then leads to a battle against Clawroline. After defeating her, Kirby must go through a Coaster Mouth section at high speed, dodging several Gigatzos and meteors along the way. A Gotcha Capsule can be found after a set of Gigatzos. Shortly after, Kirby must press 2 Switches between Gigatzo fireballs before quickly pressing another Switch on the left. He must then dodge between several meteors to hit another Switch on the left before going down rapidly and hitting a Switch on the right. After a final line of Gigatzo fire, Kirby can hit a semifinal Switch on the left. Once he reaches the end of the roller coaster, Kirby can press a final Switch to unlock a gate containing a Waddle Dee. After rescuing the Waddle Dee, Kirby can head to the right before touching the goal. In the small, secret area, Kirby can interact with a sparkling spot at the top right to spawn a Gotcha Capsule nearby. Kirby can then reach the nearby goal.

Italicized missions are hidden from view on the player's first playthrough.
