Ancient World

Route through Ancient World

1. At the bottom of the shaft from Deimpo, go through the door frame to the Ventilation Shaft monument. The room past the long corridor has the chest with the Wind Blaster and an Energy Cell; in the flooded room after it, turn round and dash round the corner to the barred chest with the Grenades.
2. Drop down the second big vent shaft and follow the pipes until the cave opens outdoors at the Overlook monument. Climb the stone stairs and keep up the slope past the cliff: the Machine Hammer is in the chest at the foot of the big tree.
3. Hop the chain of small islands to the big island. Its left path climbs a rock pile to a power tower with a green seal door; the green Seal Breaker from the Mausoleum roof opens it for the Plasma Spear.
4. Continue and jump to the high island opposite: the Ossi's Lab monument is at his door. Mechanical Engineer Ossi gives you the Orange Ochre Seal Breaker, which opens the orange C-shaped seals hiding the ten Data Modules, one per area. The Wing Altar - Ancient World is front-left of the lab doorway, and the round domed teleporter houses (two doors, walk the ring corridor) carry you between islands; the first is in the red-lit tunnel next to Ossi's house.
5. From the Wing Altar, enter the teleport room on its left and take the right-hand passage. In the new area go through the cave, leave by its upper exit, turn left onto the iron cliff walkway and ride the elevator in the building down; past the deep-water corridor, the wall where a skeleton claws at it hides the room with the Shock Rifle (Ancient Technology).
6. Solve the small practice node puzzle past the rifle room, pull the lever and ride the lift: the Training Band is one floor up and the Cobalt Seal Breaker one floor higher, beside a skeleton. The cobalt breaker is what lets you into the power towers.
7. The three blue pyramid power towers keep the castle bridge shut. At the top of each, shoot nodes with the Shock Rifle: a shot powers the node and the nodes linked to it, a node powered twice goes dark, and the goal is every node lit. There is no reset, so save first; a console skips a puzzle for coins, and a finished tower shows no blue light from outside.
8. Come outdoors from the elevator building by the big pit near the castle bridge and enter the cave straight ahead: Wind Gem #5 sits in its gazebo shrine, guarded by a Manticore that does not respawn. The tower that stands alone on its own island needs all five Wind Gems; reach it through the teleporter houses via the room with three metal crates and a skeleton.
9. Back in the cave's upper level, turn right and cross with the Cestus double jump to the Scrap Yard monument. Climb to the power tower uphill, drop into the building and beat the Ancient Besom Cutter (2,900 Life, 60 ATK, weak to Slash, resists Pierce): sidestep its frontal swing and punish the recovery. It gives the Mechanical Duck Figurine; the lift up leads to the Soldier's Shock Blade chest behind the iron crates.
10. Go back to the big bridge and drop into the hidden cave below it: the Jigeki key bottom piece is on the altar. With all three towers solved the bridge's three blue lights go out, and Josami, Lord Saijha (4,000 Life, 75 ATK, no weakness) guards it: use range to reposition, take one short punish after his committed attack, and get far out of his giant laser rather than hiding behind a pillar (Sworn Protector). The bridge leads to Siraatsu Castle.

Come back later for

• Strange Explorer: hand all 10 Data Modules to Ossi, change area or rest, and come back; it attacks in the lab and drops the Explorer's Cudgel (Wise Work).
• Hidden enemies: Arch Sepiicanis behind the boxes by the food platter where you drop into the Shock Rifle lab, Furtive Nautigallus by the scrapped robots near the Scrap Yard monument, King Upobna in the hidden wall between the fishman-shaped fliers at the upper fish pond.
• Record of Sin: from the skeleton campfire on the second floor of the Wave Gun tower (small island opposite the Wind Gem cave), after the first Siraatsu pass.
• The hidden building on the high cliffs above the Plasma Spear tower (Small Energy Cell, five meals, Silver Skulls), with the Flying Mushroom Fossil.
