Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head towards the final sarcophagus by going over the bridge.
  2. 2
    Prepare for a landing as several Bui kichwa and Majini enter the tomb.
  3. 3
    Kill the enemy with torches first.
  4. 4
    Open the chest on the west for an [EMERALD (TRILLIANT)], the chest to the east for a [SAPPHIRE (TRILLIANT)], and the chest on the north for a [RUBY (TRILLIANT)].
  5. 5
    Exit south.
  6. 6
    Deal with the Majini in the room to the south, shooting them from a distance.
  7. 7
    Ignore the vases in the room as they are a distraction.
  8. 8
    Turn the valve in the center of the room.
  9. 9
    After turning the valve, giant burning boulders will start rolling.
  10. 10
    Have one player stay in the center area while the other immediately runs to the other side of the area after the crank is turned.
  11. 11
    As you approach the closing door, the boulders will bounce off each other, clearing a path to slip through.
  12. 12
    Collect items from the 14 [VASES] then proceed to the next hallway.
  13. 13
    An interactive cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) follows where you must run to the end, jumping over gaps and performing a special grab command at the last gap.
  14. 14
    The Labyrinth:
  15. 15
    Jump down and pull a chain with your partner to activate a large stairwell.
  16. 16
    Enter a large room with several statues.
  17. 17
    There is a [VASE] to your left as you enter the area.
  18. 18
    Go downstairs, turn west at the center of the room, and open the suitcase on the SW dead-end to find a [GRENADE LAUNCHER].
  19. 19
    Head north and look for a green gem on your left as you enter the northwestern area.
  20. 20
    About halfway down the path, scan your upper left and shoot the [EMERALD (SQUARE)].
  21. 21
    Have one player pull the chain.
  22. 22
    The other player needs to go back to the center of the room, head north, then go west to the other chain of the turquoise statue.
  23. 23
    This will uplift chairs to the eastern statue, revealing a [SAPPHIRE (SQUARE)].
  24. 24
    Proceed to the jade statue on the east side of the area.
  25. 25
    Pull the chains to alter stairs and reveal an [EMERALD (SQUARE)].
  26. 26
    Check the nearby southern ledge that can be leaped over; the chest contains an [IDOL (GOLD)].
  27. 27
    Go back to the center. A group of Majini will spawn when you take a few more steps, including one with torches and two with shields. Deal with them.
  28. 28
    Jump over to a platform marked by a torch.
  29. 29
    Go to the eastern side of the area where you can shoot a [TOPAZ (SQUARE)] from the ceiling near a hole.
  30. 30
    The upper path houses two [VASES].
  31. 31
    Aim at the ruins above the jade statue to spot a [BSAA EMBLEM].
  32. 32
    Head to the center of the room by hugging the outer wall and go to the gold-colored statue. A [TOPAZ (SQUARE)] will be revealed.
  33. 33
    Head towards the purple statue in the northeast corner. You can grab [FLASH ROUNDS] for the Grenade Launcher in a chest on the path to the right first.
  34. 34
    One person can pull the chain, while the other needs to go back downstairs to pull the chain below.
  35. 35
    Majini and Bui kichwa will appear before you can pull both chains; deal with them first.
  36. 36
    When done, pull the chains and the southern stairs will lower.
  37. 37
    Grab the [RUBY (PEAR)] from the ground level and a [SAPPHIRE (PEAR)] from the upper level.
  38. 38
    On the lower ground, head to the SE corner of the area and loot three [VASES].
  39. 39
    Continue to the final statue, a red one, in the SW corner of the room. A [RUBY (OVAL)] is revealed, and the stairwells will raise towards the final destination.
  40. 40
    BOSS FIGHT 5: POPOKARIMU (2ND)
  41. 41
    Popokarimu has 2 attacks: Slash (boss swipes with its sharp claw) and Tail Leap (boss leaps and strikes with its tail).
  42. 42
    The same strategy that worked before still applies.
Tips
  • You can kill the bats to complete your bestiary. They drop around 100 Gold when killed, so shoot them when they fly over reachable ground.
