Part 30

Objective: Go to the Temple of Sacrifice.

Approach Muramasa's Statue to stock up. Proceed up the hill to fight Red Gaja. Use Izuna Drops for easy kills.

As you ascend the path, you'll encounter Gaja and Van Gelfs. Use mid-air combos with a Level 3 Scythe on Van Gelfs, then Obliterate them. Use leftover Essence for Ultimates. Near the Save Statue, more Van Gelfs and Gaja will appear; clear them to activate the Save Statue.

Objective: Clear the area of threats.

Upon entering, multiple Rasetsu (5-6) will appear. Stick to ON-LAND CHARGES UT attacks. Charge a Level 2 UT and time it to hit the first Rasetsu when it's near. Two Level 2 Ultimates are needed per Rasetsu. After the first, fight another while a third approaches. Stay evasive, charge Level 1 Ultimates, and time them precisely. Save Ninpo attacks for the last batch of Rasetsu to weaken them. Work your way down the path, search dead bodies for items, and save at the Save Statue.

Objective: Clear the area of threats.

A duo of acid worms and dung beetles will appear. Grab Incendiary Shurikens from a nearby dead body. Fling charged Incendiary Shurikens at the worms while dodging their attacks. After the first two are defeated, two more will spawn. Clear the area. Approach the large black pillar and examine it to bring it down. Use the Bird Flip to reach the upper cavern.

After reaching the upper cavern, use a double Wall Run to reach the other end. Turn around and look above the walls you just ran on to find a Crystal Skull. Use another wall run to reach and grab it.

As you approach the next river, worms will spawn. Charge up Ultimates and unleash them until all worms are dead. Approach the black pillar on the other end and examine it to reveal the exit. Go to the end of the river and jump down the chasm to find the Save Statue.

As you leave the Save Statue, a gang of mini-dragons will spawn. Equip arrows. Jump down to the bottom of the stairs and start flinging arrows from the ground. If you run out of arrows, move towards the next area with the large step-button. Gaja will appear; slice them down. Approach the dead body in the next area to stock up on arrows. Kill the remaining mini-dragons to clear the area.
