    Proceed through the Clock Tower Gears, jumping from gear to gear.
  3. 3
    Defeat the Red Spider Ninjas that ambush you as you ascend.
  4. 4
    On the fifth gear (after swinging on the bar three times), collect Crystal Skull #21.
  5. 5
    Continue jumping and swinging to the top of the tower until you reach the Save Statue.
  6. 6
    If needed, use the Muramasa's Statue to restock.
  7. 7
    Prepare for the boss battle against Zedonius.

    After defeating Zedonius, proceed down the path in the Jungle Entrance to encounter soldiers.
  9. 9
    Eliminate the soldiers and continue towards the river.
  10. 10
    In the Peruvian Riverbank, use a charged arrow to kill the ballistics soldier near the hut.
  11. 11
    Carefully jump into the water and eliminate the exploding jellyfish with the Gatling Gun.
  12. 12
    Continue shooting down spawning jellyfish until Muramasa's Statue near the hut becomes accessible.
  13. 13

  19. 19
    After eliminating approximately 10-11 ballistics soldiers, new enemies called Water Sentries will emerge.
  20. 20
    If you have a level 3 Scythe, use one hard combo while running on the water to destroy each Water Sentry.
  21. 21
    Kill all Water Sentries with Scythe combos to clear the area and trigger a cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically).
  22. 22
    After the area is cleared, explore the huts to find Crystal Skull #22 and other items.
Tips
  • When fighting Zedonius, get in close, block and evade his melee combos, then counter with aggressive combos. Avoid circling the arena or staying at a distance. Bait him into attacking you from the ground.
  • When dealing with the jellyfish in the Peruvian Riverbank, do not water run initially; swim slowly and shoot them.
  • For the Water Sentries, a level 3 Scythe is highly effective, requiring only one hard combo while running on water.
