Chop Chop Inc is all about corporate revenge by building your own woodworking business. However, building your business isn’t quite enough; it needs something bombastic. For that, Shelldon the Turtle is there to help you out on your revenge journey, apart from passing funny turtle remarks (which I highly dig).
Right after you build Shelldon his requested armor, you’re presented with yet another quest. This time you need to access the Mines to get something more powerful (yes, it’s dynamite). However, access is blocked in the road tunnels, and you need a Stone Axe to pass through. If you’re stuck on this quest, don’t sweat, as I’ve already completed it, and I’ll guide you there.
How To Get Stone Axe in Chop Chop Inc
To unlock the Stone Axe, complete the Windmill quest to unlock the recipe, and then craft it using 1x Birch Wood and 2x Stone Wood. If you haven’t completed it already, finish the Bridge that Chester wanted you to fix. This is a much better one than the Wooden Axe you are presented with at the start of Chop Chop Inc.
Going straight ahead from the bridge, you’ll come across a broken windmill. This will require you to get a mix of Walnut and Bitch Woods. So make sure to farm that. I’d advise you to upgrade your Wooden Axe to level three, as it would make the process easier. After collecting all the requirements, fix the four windmill sails at the Workbench.
Take the fixed sails to the windmill again, and you’ll receive Wooden Shoes. This item is automatically equipped and is the most important item in the quest, as it will let you walk on water (I finally got to be Jesus only to meet another “God”). After acquiring it, you’ll have to head to a small island which is located on the right side of the tunnel. There you’ll meet Sir Worcestershire III, a self-proclaimed superior being.
Right as you walk up to the island, you’ll be asked to cut down the Stone Tree blocking Sir Worcestershire III’s view. Use your current Wooden Axe to cut the tree. This will take some time, but it’s worth it. Right after cutting it, you’ll get the recipe for Stone Axe.
Head back to the base and upgrade the grindstone with the Stone Wood you received. Now, don’t need to upgrade your Wooden Axe to max tier to use the Stone Axe. Simply craft the axe using 1x Birch Wood and 2x Stone Wood.
Unlocking the Way to the Mines
With the Stone Axe unlocked, it’s time to unlock your way into the mines to get access to the dynamite for Shelldon. Equip the Stone Axe, and head to the tunnel right by the roadside. You’ll come across a broken wall blocked by boulders. Use the new axe to break them, and head into the cave entrance.
Inside, you’ll meet the giant worm NPC, which isn’t important right now. You’ll also get access to a lot of Stone Wood trees, which are required for you to progress further. Additionally, this quest is mandatory for the Hamster quest, so you have to do this quest nonetheless.
Continue heading straight inside, and you’ll find the mine shaft on the left side. Head inside, and right next to the detonator, you’ll find the dynamite required for the quest. In my experience, the dynamite doesn’t show up if you enter the tunnel before Shelldon’s quest. I’m unsure if that’s a bug, but the item will show up there.
Take the dynamite back to Shelldon and give him the item to progress his quest. Once again, Shelldon will head back to Furnox Corp and wreak more mayhem. Make sure to watch the spectacle because it’s a joy to watch. With that done, Shelldon will come back and warn you about the new obstacle you face. If that happens, it means the quest has been completed successfully.
The biggest challenge I faced throughout this quest was crafting the Stone Axe itself, since the game doesn’t tell you about the Wooden Shoes. I’d advise you to travel and explore new locations at every turn, as the game hides many secrets. This would make your progress a lot easier.
