Location: Tower of the Goddess B-7 - Shoot the block at the lower-left corner of the screen six times with the Pistol to reveal this cartridge. Alternately, if you have not progressed enough for the goddess statue in the room to vanish then stand on its arm near the center. If you are in the right spot then after a few seconds the arm will lower and the block will vanish, allowing you to grab the cartridge without needing the pistol.
