Walkthrough
- 1From the arch where the Worm was, jump above it to find Golden Scarab #27. Continue to the Hall of Balance.
- 2In the Hall of Balance, open chests on the upper ledge for items, including the Red Tablet of the Stream. Collect Golden Scarab #28 on the other side of the ledge.
- 3Return to Aquaduct B3 and SAVE your game. Go back to the Red Water Reservoir Room.
- 4Use Bird Flip to reach the top of the Red Water Reservoir. Collect Golden Scarab #29 on the right and a Life of the Gods #23 from a chest on the left.
- 5Approach the mantle and place the Red Tablet on it to trigger an ambush. Defeat the fiends.
- 6Exit the Red Water Reservoir and return to Aquaduct B2. Take the left path past the dead body and enter the door at the end of the hall. Grab the Water Statue from the pedestal in the empty room.
- 7Go back to Aquaduct B3 and use the Save Point. Enter the cavern before the Red Reservoir Room, search the dead body for Incendiary Shurikens.
- 8Use the Water Statue on the nearby doorway to open it and enter the Underground Waterway.
- 9Jump down, being careful of Ghost Fish. Defeat them using a continuous Bird Flip combined with a hard attack midway.

- 12After defeating the Worms, find Golden Scarab #31 in the left Worm's cavern and Life of the Gods #24 in the right Worm's cavern.
- 13Enter the cavern between the Worm holes to a large rocky area. Ascend to the top, eliminate fiends, and open chests to find Life of the Gods #25. Enter the doorway to the Blue Tablet Room.
- 14Navigate the Blue Tablet Room, destroy Wasp Fiends, and obtain the Blue Tablet of the Stream from a chest.
- 15Exit back to the rocky area and enter the adjacent cavern. Kill Bats and fiends, search a dead body for Incendiary Shurikens.

- 20Before returning to the Hall of Balance, find a tricky turn in the hall with a chest containing a Life of the Gods #26.
