  13. 13
    Continue down the hallway and fight the Flan that drops down.
  14. 14

    Open the doors on the right to create a shortcut back to the shrine.
  16. 16

    In this large room, snipe the Skeleton Rifleman on the left and grab the [_CORPSE_] in front of you.
  18. 18
    Head left, go up the stairs. Snipe the Skeleton Rifleman on the right.
  19. 19
    Retrieve the [_CORPSE_] where the first skeleton was. Leave the room on the right for now.
  20. 20
    Kill the patrolling Fiend. Check the upper right corner of the room (behind junk) for a [_WARRIOR KODAMA_].
  21. 21
    Approach the mist in the middle of the room. Defeat the Amrita Fiend.
  22. 22
    Continue past the Amrita Fiend to a [_CORPSE_].
  23. 23
    Go right to a small ledge with another crystal.

  28. 28
    There is a door leading back to the big room and a ladder going up. Ignore the ladder for now.
  29. 29
    Return to the big room, go past the mist, and take a left to a [_BIG CHEST_]. This is likely a MIMIC CHEST; mimic its gesture for loot.
  30. 30
    The path beyond is a dead end. At the stairs, look up at the ceiling to find a Flan enemy.
  31. 31
    Take out the Flan, then kill the two Dwellers below for a [_CORPSE_] containing a skill item.
  32. 32
    Head back to the ladder and go up.
  33. 33
    Check the stalls on the right for another [_CORPSE_].

  35. 35
    Head outside the door and stick to the left. Break the boxes.
  36. 36
    You will see a crystal in front of you. Grab the [_CORPSE_] here and note the doorway to the left.
  37. 37
    To clear enemies in this area: go through the left doorway, take an immediate left, go up the stairs, and quickly destroy the crystal (use Ki Pulse). This will defeat all enemies in the area.
