Leave the cave from the previous route and follow the bridge, then jump to the opposite bridge. Keep along the edge until you reach water and another bridge. On the third bridge, look for the Desert Rain Frog; make the final jump to the left for the shell. Gamer Social Club notes that the Desert Rain Frog trophy can also be obtained on this route.
