| | {{Empty section|Walkthrough}} |
| The biggest danger of this area is falling into the water
| |
| which drains what is in your life meter. Be careful as you
| |
| walk and jump.
| |
| | |
| You start off on a decent sized patch of ground. Walk down
| |
| to find a BAG OF COINS. Then go up and talk to the GARGOYLE.
| |
| | |
| Walk across the wooden bridge and find the FIRST BOOK,
| |
| which is the only book.
| |
| | |
| Walk around to the right, or left, so you can jump up the
| |
| steps. There you will find an ENERGY VIAL. Follow the stone
| |
| path onward. To the right of the path, you should see
| |
| something is in the water. As you approach it, it will
| |
| become a tentacle that will attack you. You can fight back
| |
| if you wish, but such tentacles do not count towards your
| |
| Chalice percentage.
| |
| | |
| When you have a choice, go to the left. The path stops, but
| |
| there is a stone platform not far from you. Run towards it
| |
| and jump to do a running jump and land on that platform.
| |
| (When doing running jumps, try to time it so you jump at the
| |
| very last moment so that you can get the most distance.) The
| |
| Boat Man will speak to you. You are given your task to
| |
| gather eight lost souls.
| |
| | |
| Do a running jump back to the path. You will notice a zombie
| |
| in a large suit of armor. You need to use your weapon to
| |
| force such zombies into the swamp where they will sink. They
| |
| do count towards your Chalice percentage.
| |
| | |
| Walk to the corner where you have to go left. You will pass
| |
| another tentacle. Jump up onto the round corner. Continue
| |
| to a rectangular area with a MERCHANT GARGOYLE at the end of
| |
| it. To the right is a path. Do a running jump to reach it.
| |
| Walk along it to the ground. Be careful of the tentacle to
| |
| the right of that path. Walk forward toward the FOUNTAIN,
| |
| and be careful of the tentacle in the pool to the right.
| |
| | |
| Once at the Fountain, walk to the right. You will notice
| |
| gold bridges connect a lot of the land. Take note that each
| |
| time you find a lost soul, some of those bridges will
| |
| disappear. Once you have all the lost souls, no such bridges
| |
| will be left.
| |
| | |
| You should see a chest with a skull and crossbones. Feel
| |
| free to break it open and release KUL KATURA. Remember, you
| |
| cannot control this serpent and it will only exist here for
| |
| a limited amount of time.
| |
| | |
| Cross over using the gold bridge to the right. Look around
| |
| for another chest with a skull and crossbones and walk
| |
| towards it. Be very careful if you hit it as it has a time
| |
| bomb. Even if you are at a relatively safe distance from
| |
| the bomb when it explodes, it can still push you.
| |
| | |
| With that chest in front of you, go to the left. You should
| |
| see a bag on an island. Do a walking jump to reach the BAG
| |
| OF COINS. Then, you may want to try to do a running jump to
| |
| return to where you were. (A running jump to that island may
| |
| go too far, but a running jump from the island makes it more
| |
| likely you will successfully make it across.) You should see
| |
| a yellow object. Make a running jump to reach your first
| |
| SOUL HELMET. Return to the chest with the time bomb.
| |
| | |
| This time, with that chest in front of you, go towards the
| |
| right and pick up the CHAOS RUNE. Then, look around yourself
| |
| until you see the Chalice in the distance. Walk towards the
| |
| Chalice.
| |
| | |
| Very near the Chalice, walk over a gold bridge. This brings
| |
| you to a tree with two shields on it. Take the second SOUL
| |
| HELMET. Also, take the ENERGY VIAL. Since both bridges are
| |
| gone, just to be safe, with the tree in front of you and the
| |
| Chalice behind you, go to the left.
| |
| | |
| Walk towards and then past the Chalice. Ignore any ways to
| |
| the right and keep going until you find the third SOUL
| |
| HELMET. Then, the bridges vanish. While at the flag, where
| |
| you found the Soul Helmet, you should see a path to the
| |
| right. This path has a pointed end. With the flag to your
| |
| left, do a running jump to jump onto the path. Follow it
| |
| back to the stone path which leads back to the Merchant
| |
| Gargoyle.
| |
| | |
| With that stone path to the left, walk forward and take the
| |
| first right. You should see a chest with a skull and
| |
| crossbones. In it is a time bomb. Set it off at your own
| |
| risk. You should also see the fourth SOUL HELMET, so take
| |
| it. (If you walk to the Soul Helmet without going over the
| |
| gold bridge, be careful while walking in-between the poles.)
| |
| | |
| With where you just took the Soul Helmet behind you, walk
| |
| forward and walk to the right across the first gold bridge
| |
| you find. This leads you onto an oval area with an ENERGY
| |
| VIAL. The way is narrow, so proceed with caution. Then,
| |
| cross back over that bridge.
| |
| | |
| You should see an area with a lot of chests that all have a
| |
| skull and crossbones on them. You want to take care of them
| |
| while the gold bridge for this is still present. Center on
| |
| the chest which is near the tree. You should just have to
| |
| run in a straight line across the gold bridge to reach it.
| |
| Trigger it. Then run back across the bridge. That should
| |
| set up a chain reaction which will explode most or even all
| |
| of those chests for you. Then you will not have to worry
| |
| about them.
| |
| | |
| With that gold bridge you just ran across in front of you,
| |
| go left and up. You should find a SILVER SHIELD in a chest.
| |
| Not far away is your fifth SOUL HELMET.
| |
| | |
| From where you found the Soul Helmet, you should see an
| |
| isolated piece of ground. Do a walking jump to it. From
| |
| there, do a walking jump to the area with a large tree with
| |
| two shields on it. (This is the area with all the chests
| |
| from earlier.) You should see the sixth SOUL HELMET in front
| |
| of you, so take it.
| |
| | |
| Keep going to find a gate. Walk into the red hand to use the
| |
| Chaos Rune. As you walk forward, the view will shift so the
| |
| two chariots are at the bottom of the screen. In this view,
| |
| you need to look towards the left. You should see treasure
| |
| on the island in that direction. Keep close to the wall and
| |
| do a running jump to that island. There you will find a
| |
| CHEST OF COINS, another CHEST OF COINS, an ENERGY VIAL,
| |
| another ENERGY VIAL, and a LIFE BOTTLE. Be careful of the
| |
| tentacle. Again, staying close to the wall, do a running
| |
| jump back to the area with the chariots.
| |
| | |
| Next to the chariots is the seventh SOUL HELMET. Taking it
| |
| will trigger some enemies to appear. Walk past the chariots
| |
| and down the path. Be careful of the chariots as they will
| |
| roll down after you. At the bottom of the path, you will
| |
| find an ENERGY VIAL, another ENERGY VIAL, and the eighth and
| |
| final SOUL HELMET. When you take it, enemies will appear and
| |
| the exit will close. I would advise you deal with the thin
| |
| zombies with the throwing weapons first and then deal with
| |
| pushing the fat zombies over the edge. Kill them all to
| |
| open the exit.
| |
| | |
| Run back up the path. Last, you need to fill up your
| |
| Chalice. Consider using some sort of distance weapon as
| |
| flying monsters have appeared. Walk out of the gates that
| |
| needed the Chaos Rune. Keep to the right as you walk. Do a
| |
| walking jump back to that isolated piece of ground. Do
| |
| another walking jump to go back to where you see a broken
| |
| chest on the ground, where you got the Silver Shield
| |
| earlier.
| |
| | |
| Go to the left and then stay next to the right edge to
| |
| return to the stone path that leads back to the Merchant
| |
| Gargoyle. Keep walking past the stone path, while staying
| |
| along the right edge, until you are at the path with a point
| |
| at the end of it. There are two other areas near it. Make a
| |
| running jump to the one with the square end which has no
| |
| grass on it. Once there, walk to the far end of this path
| |
| and make a running jump towards an area with a chest, which
| |
| has or had a time bomb. With the chest in front of you, go
| |
| to the right. Then look around and you should be able to
| |
| walk into the CHALICE.
| |
| | |
| Walk back to the last chest mentioned. With it behind you,
| |
| do a running jump onto the next piece of ground. Walk
| |
| forward and do a running jump onto the pointed piece of
| |
| ground. Then go to the right and keep close to the left edge
| |
| until you are back at the stone path. Walk up it. Do a
| |
| running jump off of the end of it to return to the Merchant
| |
| Gargoyle.
| |
| | |
| Walk away from the Merchant Gargoyle. Jump up onto the round
| |
| corner. Follow the path to the right. As you turn on the
| |
| next corner, ignore the way you see to the side and walk to
| |
| the end of the path. Do a running jump back to the platform.
| |
| | |
| Once at the Boat Man, use the Soul Helmet from your
| |
| inventory and he will give you a ride.
