Walkthrough
  1. 1
    As soon as you step outside, run forward and kill any dogs in this area.
  2. 2
    If you need to heal, there are plenty of red, green, and blue herbs out here for you, so make any mixed herbs you want.
  3. 3
    Once you're done in this area, run to the other side of the room and open the gate.
  4. 4
    Follow this path until you get to a crank slot.
  5. 5
    Insert the Square Crank into the slot. This will drain out the pool and allow you to cross over to the other side of this area.
  6. 6
    Now go down to the ladder near the gate.
  7. 7
    Go down the ladder and then run forward and climb up the other ladder.
  8. 8
    Follow this path to an elevator and watch out for the snakes that drop from the trees below.
  9. 9
    Once you get to the elevator, go down it.
  10. 10
    Down in this area, run forward and kill any dogs in this area.
  11. 11
    Once all of the dogs are dead, run to the gate on the other side of this room and then open it.
  12. 12
    There are dogs in this passage, but you can easily avoid them and if you avoid them, they won't be back for when you visit this point later on in the game.
  13. 13
    You can kill them if they become a pain, but the best option is just to avoid them and follow the passage to a door.
  14. 14
    When you get to a door, open it and you'll be in the Guardhouse.
