Defeat all the enemies at the top and whip out Zeus' Fury to defeat those
archers in the distance. On your left behind some urns is a chest that will
fully refill your magic. Head right and jump from platform to platform until
you reach a rope. Cross it hand-over-hand and battle the foes that await on
the other side. Turn the crank to raise the ladder and save your game.
Ascend the ladder and follow the paths along until you reach a doorway. If
you continue left rather than going through the door you'll find a chest full
of red orbs. Enter the cave area and follow the path to a crank you can spin,
turn this in order to connect the path to the platform with all the archers on
it. Spin it further than you need to since it will automatically start moving
back when you let go this will give you time to get on it and jump over to the
other one. When you come out of the cave at the top take the left path to
find a multicoloured chest. Now jump up onto the ledge on your right.
You'll need to defeat three minotaurs here, around the corner is a door with
two head shaped crests on the sides which seems to suggest they once wore
necklaces. If you jump around behind the one on the right you'll find a chest
with red orbs inside. Head left from the chest though the cave, and jump down
into the water. When you pop out at the other side you can break open the
walls behind the waterfalls to get a whole buttload of red orbs. Return to
the door with the face emblems on it and look for a ladder on your left
leading down. Descend it and follow the path to reach a chest full of red
orbs beside a rope, slide down the rope and enter the cave. Beyond a whole
pile of enemies that you should kill first, is the necklace puzzle.
Your goal is to connect all the blocks together so that the gaps disappear.
You can use the centre platform to rotate them. Here's what you need to do.
Grab the block at the upper right corner and put it on the rotating device.
Now turn the device counter-clockwise exactly once, for a 90 degree turn.
Push this block against the gate so that the lower right block which cannot be
moved fits exactly into the little gap. Now grab the T shaped block, rotate
it 90 degrees in either direction and place it right in the centre so it fits
nicely into the upper gap in the piece you placed the first time. Get that
little one block near the gate out of the way, you're never going to use it.
Grab the upside down L shaped block at the top left corner and rotate it 180
degrees. Now place it on the left side of the gate, it should fit perfectly.
All that remains is to fill the final two gaps, between the last two places
you set the pieces should be a gap that's two blocks high so grab the piece
that will fit in there perfectly and set it. The last piece is the tall on
the upper left side. Set it on the right side to complete the puzzle.
Grab the necklace and leave the cave, you can now climb up the ladder on the
right side. There's also a save point out here now. Go up the ladder and run
to the right, climb across the side of the mountain until you reach the other
side above the rope where you slid down. Return to the place with the two
emblems and insert Her'a necklace. Now I know for a fact that this part is
one of the most difficult things people have a problem with and it's quite
likely that this is about the first sentence 99% of the people using this
guide have read because all the want to know is where the hell to go after
getting that stupid necklace. Well here's the answer so listen close. You
need to backtrack. A lot. Remember that room where you rotated the two
platforms and had to quickly jump from one to the other? Past that. Exit out
the from of that cave. Now you've got the option of either going down a
ladder or following the path left. Go down the ladder, then another and
another until you reach the save point. Yes, you must find this save point,
there's your reference. Get there and save your game. Now from this save
point go right and you'll see a dead tree, well it just so happens that you
can jump over the rocks beside the tree to reach another path and whole other
area. Yeah. There's your answer, enjoy the rest of the game.
Anyway, where were we. Follow this path into the main cave area where you'll
be trapped and forced to fight against quite a few enemies. When you come out
the other end of the cave you'll find an elevator, turn the crank to raise it
upward. Hop onto the weight on your right to lower a ripe down to the
platform below, this acts as a shortcut if you need it, don't actually go down
there. Enter the cave and prepare yourself in advance, if you screw up then
you die. Notice the holes in the floor, they are what's going to kill you,
but only if you aren't fast enough. There's a lever here beside the gate.
When you pull the lever another gate opens up and your time limit starts.
Beside you is a block you can move, basically your goal is to kick this block
down to the other side of the cave and use it as a stepping stone to reach the
ledge before getting speared. You're given enough time no problem, but don't
dilly-dally. At the top you'll find a chest, open it to get a Phoenix Feather
and then jump across to the vines on the wall. Grab the necklace and leave.
Return to the door with the two emblems and make sure both necklaces are in
place. Now the ledges are moving back and forth, wait until they extend all
the way and jump across to gab hold. Jump back and open the chests for some
blue and red orbs, then jump across to the right. Head around to the right
and a cutscene triggers. Follow the path to the end and swing across the
ropes to reach the other side. Here there's an elevator, pull the lever to
activate it. Follow the path at the top and enter The Architect's Tomb.
