Exploring the Deep
Speak to Liza. She'll tell you that the phantom factory is a way for the phantoms to pollute the water to turn it into a place that the phantoms can infest and live in. She will then tell you to infiltrate the factory and disappear. Then enter the secret pipe below your animal.
Explore the deep. You'll enter a large, dark area with only a small range of light circling around your animal wherever you move. When you move right near the very top of the area, brushing up against a rock wall, you'll encounter a large whale who will tell you about the phantom factory. Right in front of this whale will be a clam full of whirlpearls, which are the underwater equivalent of boomseeds. Grab one to destroy the phantom blockage right beside the clam. If you move from where you exit the pipe to the top left, you'll find a chest full of 50 gems in easy mode. Screen Shot 2020 02 12 at 10.32.51 PM.png
Enter the lit area and destroy the phantoms. Move right through the seaweed patch. When you move up, you'll find three phantom tubes that will spawn phantoms, like phantom sprouters on land. However, unlike phantom sprouters, these phantoms won't automatically chase you no matter where you are which provides an advantage. Destroy the phantoms that spawn out of the tubes with as many whirlpearls as needed. You can also destroy phantoms from the seaweed patch if you want. When you destroy the last phantom, it will drop a valve. Grab it and head right.
Plug in the phantom valve. Head right and down. Plug in the valve and then swirl over it until the green phantom clouds stop spreading out into the water. Then head right and you'll discover the four sharks which you'll have to free using keys. If you head up and right immediately from where you plugged in the valve, you'll find a chest full of 100 gems in easy mode.Screen Shot 2020 02 12 at 10.41.47 PM.png
Finding the Keys
Find the first key. Move up right from where the sharks are through the patch of seaweed. Head up and move through the current moving up. A phantom spawner will be above you - destroy the that spawns out of it. Go up and destroy the phantom obstacle in your way. Go up and destroy the two phantoms. To your left, you'll find the first key. To get back to the sharks, head down and go down the current. Then go through the current left. Go through the seaweed patch and you'll arrive in the area with the sharks. Free one of them.Screen Shot 2020 02 13 at 8.35.31 PM.png
Find the second key. Move down right from where the sharks are and go through the right current. Destroy the two phantoms - one spawns as soon as you arrive in the water. Move slightly up and you'll find the second key. To get back, use the current right from the area you found the key in. Destroy the phantom if need be and then go up, using the current now going left. Move through the seaweed and free another shark. Screen Shot 2020 02 13 at 8.38.49 PM.png
Find the third key. Move up right from where you first entered when you were going to find the first key. Go up and through the current. Go up and go through the right current. Move down and then to the right, brushing against the underside of the phantom pipe. There will be a clam with whirlpearls - the key will be right below it. You may or may not have to destroy the phantom nearby. To get back, go further down, but stay to the left - if you go too far down, you may have to destroy a phantom or two. If you move a little to the right, a phantom tube will spawn a second phantom, so stay to the left. Go through the current moving left. Go through the seaweed patch and free another shark.

Find the fourth key. Go through the current at the bottom right of where the sharks were, the same current you went through when you were finding the second key. Then go right. Go right again and kill the phantom that spawns. Move all the way up from where you killed the phantom till you reach the current moving down which you cannot enter and a phantom blockage. Destroy the blockage. Move right and destroy another blockage. Move up and destroy the phantom. Then destroy the next phantom. Move up and above a rock will be the fourth key. At some point in this area, there is a Zios checkpoint at the bottom right where rock and glowing coral are. Next to this checkpoint is a seemingly unpassable rock archway. Go through it, down, then left and you'll find a chest full of 150 gems. Screen Shot 2020 02 13 at 8.54.19 PM.png To get back from where you found the fourth key, head down, left at the first opening through the rocks you find, then down again. Keep going down along the left side till you find the current that goes left. Move through it, the patch of seaweed, and free the last shark. Screen Shot 2020 02 13 at 8.56.20 PM.png When you first enter the current to try to find the fourth key, if you go directly down, you can go beneath a false rock formation which will lead you to a short pathway to the Sharks Only passage.

Open the phantom hatch. Head down and swirl over the phantom hatch along with the sharks. The more players with you in the adventure swirling, the faster it will open. Once it opens, head down into it.
Destroying the Phantom Machines
Head left. A phantom spawner will spawn a phantom - destroy it. As you progress left, you'll encounter several more phantoms. Continue destroying them as you explore the factory.
Find the machine's stop valve. Go all the way to the left, beside a clam full of pearls, and you'll find a valve that must be swirled over so you can locate the machine's weakness. Swirl above it to do so. A red button will begin to become more and more exposed.
Click on the red button continuously to destroy the machine. When you click on the button, it will be as though you were attempting to destroy a phantom obstacle such as a pod or web. Continuously click on the button.
Destroy phantoms throughout. After waves of clicking on the button, the button will become shut closed once again and phantoms will spawn. Destroy the phantoms before continuing the process. More phantoms will begin to spawn every time.
Swirl over the valve once again. To unlock the button again, swirl over the valve. Be sure you quickly begin to scratch the button, or it will close within a few seconds. Try to destroy phantoms or stay out of their range as you do so until your time is up. The goal is to scratch the button and damage the machine as much as possible before the button closes once again. You can also use whirlpearls to destroy the machine. You'll need to do this twice before the machine will be destroyed.
Head down. Once the machine is disabled, you will be allowed passage below deeper into the water. Encounter two phantoms and destroy them. Once again, you'll find another machine. Deal with two more phantoms. Head near the bottom right to find its weakness. Swirl over the valve and once again, repeat the process of scratching at the button several times while destroying the phantoms around you.
Head down. Once the second machine is disabled, go even further down to the left. Head down and to the left and deal with two phantoms. Go left further and repeat the process of destroying spawning phantoms, swirling over the machine's valve, and scratching at the button. With each machine you face, you'll also have to face more phantoms. If, after you destroy the second machine and after you go down you go directly right from the Zios checkpoint, you'll find a chest of 200 gems.Screen Shot 2020 02 13 at 9.13.20 PM.png
Head down and speak to Tavie. When you unlock the area the machine was blocking and go down, a mystery Alpha will speak to you and tell you that the phantoms have locked her down there for a very long while. After you speak to her, go down the current.
Speak to Liza and claim your prize. She will realize the phantoms are probably trying to capture all of the alphas at this point. Then claim your prize. The prizes for easy mode are shown in the image.
