- 3Pull the lever to reveal the stadium exit and activate floating ledges.
- 4Prepare for an Enemy Ambush in the stadium (Red Dinos on Normal Mode). Use the Dabilahro and Flaming Hell Slash/Whirlwind strategy. The reward is a Lives Of The Thousand Gods.
- 5After the ambush, collect treasures above the stadium: use Wall-To-Wall Runs to reach ledges and the top of doorways for a Great Spirit Elixir, Golden Scarab #42, Life OTG #19, Devil Elixir, Life OTG #20, and Golden Scarab #43.
- 6Exit Zarkhan Stadium and proceed down the hill towards the Imperial Palace Stairway.

- 8Search a dead body near the doorway across the stairs for potential items.
- 9Continue down the path, jump over a large tree, and reach a Save Point in Zarkhan Waterfalls.
- 10Search another dead body across from the Save Point to obtain the MAP. SAVE your game.
- 11Destroy large boulder-like heads to find Golden Scarab #44 and Life OTG #21 under each.
- 12Enter the next area with a large pool, dive in to find Golden Scarab #45 and a chest with Life OTG #22.
- 13Enter the Cavern, reach the end, kill bats, dive into water, and slide down a slope into The Great Hall.
- 14Upon landing, you may encounter Shadow Fiends and Red Dinos. Escape by using a Bird Flip on a nearby wall to reach a top ledge and open a chest for Life OTG #23.
- 15Enter the Ice Cavern, find a Save Point and a large doorway missing an item. SAVE your game.
- 16Jump down, kill enemies, follow the path right, climb up, and make another right turn. Break ice to fall into an ice enclosure with enemies. Kill them and jump to the top cavern.
- 17In the Ruins area, find the SHIELD OF VIGOOR item.
- 18Return to the door next to the Save Point in The Great Hall. SAVE your game and place the shield on the door to open it.
- 19Enter the Magma Lake area. Approach the large globe to obtain the STONE TABLET (LEFT), completing the Tablet.
- 20To kill dinos in the magma, use a non-essence charged UT. Use Wall Run to cross magma gaps.
- 21At the other end, use a Wall Run to reach a ledge above hot smoke, shimmy right, and drop down to the next area.
Tips
- For the Zarkhan Stadium ambush, equip the Dabilahro and use its power. Separate the dinos, stun one with a Flaming Hell Slash, then kill it with a Flaming Whirlwind. Use its essence for a UT on others, finishing them with a Flaming Whirlwind.
- For the Imperial Palace Stairway ambush, nonstop counterattacks and UT's are effective.
- In The Great Hall, you can bypass the initial enemy encounter by using a Bird Flip and reaching the top ledge.
- In Magma Lake, use non-essence charged UT's for dinos and Wall Runs to navigate gaps.
