From the Jungle Ruins, enter the Jungle Pass. When the path forks, take the
left path to a ruined temple. Pick up Cyclops' comic. Continue following
the path. When you reach a downed tree, instead of jumping over it, head to
the right and follow the path to a cave entrance. Go through the cave,
picking up a homing beacon on the way.
When you leave the cave, there's another cave entrance to your left. (If
you look at your map, you'll see you've made a circle and are now at the
end of the right fork of the beginning path.) Go through the other cave.
When you exit, you'll be trapped. Destroy the energy saps and then the
laser fence posts and continue up the path. You'll now be on the main path,
past the fallen tree you stopped at earlier.
Continue on to an Xtraction point. Backtrack from the Xtraction point and
search to the left for a cave entrance. The cave has laser bombs, so you'll
need a ranged attacker to take them out. Pass through the cave, picking up
a weapon cache. Beyond is a small area with a ruined temple containing a +4
Speed tech station. Go back to the main path and head for the cave entrance
past the Xtraction point.
As you pass through this cave, keep an eye out to your left for a sketch
book (Jungle, Jungle Enemy, Jean Grey). When you exit the cave, you'll be
at the entrance to the Nuwali Temple, but a talking pterodactyl named
Sauron doesn't want you to go any further.
Sauron flies around a bit, dropping energy bombs on your head. You can try
to hit him with ranged attacks while he's flying, but it's more effective
to wait until he lands and then lay into him with melee powers and attacks.
He's quite vulnerable to those. He'll stun you, briefly, when he takes off
again, but just wait him out, keep moving around while he's flying and let
him have it when he lands.
Once Sauron is defeated, you can enter the Nuwali Shrine.
