  4. 4
    Continue jumping and swinging to the top of the tower to reach the Save Statue.

    If needed, use the Muramasa's Statue at the top to restock.
  6. 6
    Prepare for the boss battle against Zedonius.
  7. 7
    Defeat Zedonius by staying close, blocking and evading his melee combos, and countering with aggressive combos. Avoid circling the arena or staying at a distance.

    After the boss battle, proceed to the Jungle Entrance.
  9. 9
    Move down the path and eliminate the gang of soldiers.

  11. 11
    Use a charged arrow to kill the ballistics soldier.

    Carefully jump into the water and eliminate the exploding jellyfish using the Gatling Gun. Keep eliminating them until Muramasa's Statue near the hut becomes accessible.
  13. 13
    Slowly swim through the jellyfish-infested river, shooting down any that appear.

    Eliminate approximately 10-11 ballistics soldiers spawning from three different areas. Approach them by following their rocket fire.

    Defeat the Water Sentries that emerge using Level 3 Scythe combos while running on the water.
  18. 18
    After clearing the area of threats, a short cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) will play.
  19. 19
    Explore the huts to find Crystal Skull #22.
Tips
  • When battling Zedonius, bait him into attacking you up close to damage him faster.
  • When dealing with the jellyfish in the river, do not Water Run; swim slowly.
  • If you have a Level 3 Scythe, a single hard combo while running on water is enough to destroy a Water Sentry.
