Mount Hothead is reachable any time after the "Power Up the Gate" quest is completed. While easier to reach once the Flippers are obtained, they are not needed. Going north out of the Spooky Swamp, no swimming is required to follow the beach path to get to the other side of the broken bridge. The player can continue to follow the beach path and cross over the stone arch between Gemstone Mountain and Mount Hothead. The hillside of dark volcanic rock can be easily ascended on its southwestern side.
