Walkthrough
- 1From the entrance of the Tainted Mountain Temple, head north under an arch. Loot the rounded chest containing Meloirean Greaves and Steel Sabatons. Return south.
- 2Head south-east from the entrance, through another arch, to an open-air ledge. Defeat the two Geo Saurians here and one more at the south-eastern point. On the north-western part of the ledge, near debris, find warrior remains. From the remains, turn north and drop down to a lower ledge to find a square chest.
- 3The warrior remains near the first chest contain a Rusted Greatsword, Stalwart Earring, and Royal Mantle. The square chest on the lower ledge contains a Feral Cape and Gryphic Cloak.
- 4Back on the higher ledge, explore the south-eastern portion. Loot another square chest and find warrior remains guarded by a third Geo Saurian.
- 5North-east of the square chest, find a Small Coin Pouch (100 G) and a Coin Pouch (1000 G).
- 6Turn south-west and enter the narrow tunnel marked 'Path to Dragon’s Domain'. At the end, find a ladder leading down.
- 7In the lower chamber, defeat the two Succubi. Loot the area: find a new plant, the Lava Flower, some Harspud Juice to the north-west, and a square chest to the west.
- 8The square chest in the Succubus chamber contains Alchemickal Bangles, Meloirean Armguard, and Orrilux Shield.
- 9Continue south-east through a narrow passage. In the large chamber that opens up, defeat the Geo Saurians on the pillars and those to the east.
- 10In the chamber with the Geo Saurians, turn west and jump over a crumbled wall. Find plants, a Light-Cure, Harspud Juice, and lootable debris. Scale the rubble to the south to find a Large Coin Pouch (3500 G).
- 11Return to the Geo-Saurian chamber and head east between two pillars. Jump over a fallen column and drop onto a ledge to find a rounded chest.
- 12The rounded chest contains a Golden Belt.
- 13Return to the Geo-Saurian chamber and head south under an arch into a smaller room. Search bushes to the west for plants and another Large Coin Pouch (3500 G).
- 14Turn east and ascend stairs, jumping onto rocks south of the arch on top to find a Coin Pouch (1000 G).
- 15Beyond this arch, defeat the Geo Saurian on the wall near the eastern arch and two more on a balcony to the north. Note the doorway to the south.
- 16Head north.
