Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Ascend the stairs to encounter Knightmares. Defeat three Knightmares using aggressive counterattacks with the Dabilahro, exploiting their inability to break Ryu's guard. After they transform, repeat the tactic.
  2. 2
    Once all Knightmares are dead, collect the SERPENT DIETY statue and exit the Pyramid.
  3. 3
    In the Outer Pyramid, proceed down the grassy path. The GRIFFON DOOR is locked. Head towards the other open doorway with a Save Point.
  4. 4
    SAVE your game and visit Muramasa's Statue to replenish stock.
  5. 5
    OBJECTIVE: FIND THE GRIFFON KEY.
  6. 6
    Proceed past Muramasa's Statue to a glowing portal. Enter it to reach the Hellish Depths.
  7. 7
    In this arena, defeat all appearing Zombie soldiers. A chest containing the GRIFFON KEY will be revealed.
  8. 8
    Grab the GRIFFON KEY and teleport out. Return to the GRIFFON DOOR and use the key to unlock it.
  9. 9
    Enter The Labyrinth 1. Prepare for Ghost Fish. Equip the Flails and use a jump attack followed by a continuous combo upon landing.
  10. 10
    Find a Life OTG in a chest in an alcove between the walls.
  11. 11
    Continue up the stairs. At the top, find another chest with a Life OTG. Search the dead body on the opposite side for an item. Continue past the LION DOOR.
  12. 12
    OBJECTIVE: FIND THE LION KEY.
  13. 13
    Equip the Flails and proceed down the path to find a chest containing a Life OTG.
  14. 14
    After retrieving the item, defeat attacking Ghost Fish. Then, face three ambushing Catwomen. Use Explosive Arrows to shoot them mid-air while evading.
  15. 15
    The Catwomen drop the LION KEY. Collect it.
  16. 16
    As you leave, another ambush occurs with more Catwomen and a Crab Fiend. Use Explosive Arrows and your preferred weapon.
  17. 17
    Proceed to the LION DOOR and enter the next area.
  18. 18
    In Labyrinth 2, turn left upon entering the LION DOOR and go to the end of the path to find a Golden Scarab (#48).
  19. 19
    Return and go the other way. Climb the stairs and use the Save Point to SAVE your game.
  20. 20
    To the left of the Save Point, open a chest in a small alcove for a Life OTG. Continue down the next path.
  21. 21
    Avoid the open area with the LIONESS DOOR and take the long path to the right. Defeat Ghost Fish encountered along the way.
  22. 22
    Continue to the end of the path.
  23. 23
    OBJECTIVE: FIND THE LIONESS KEY.
  24. 24
    Enter the large alcove across from Muramasa's Statue to find a Golden Scarab (#49).
  25. 25
    The LIONESS KEY is in the alcove behind Golden Scarab #49. Take the alley next to it to find it.
  26. 26
    There is another alley with Ghost Fish and a final chest at the very end (near the Muramasa Statue). Opening this chest triggers a Fish ambush. You may choose to ignore it.
  27. 27
    Return to the Save Point and SAVE your game.
  28. 28
    Approach the wide open area with the LIONESS DOOR. Upon entering, you will be ambushed by Ghost Fish and two Crab Fiends. Use aerial combos with the Flails on the Fish and UT's or the Flying Swallow on the Crab Fiends.
  29. 29
    Return to the Save Point and SAVE your game again to avoid re-fighting the ambush. Use the LIONESS KEY to enter the next area for a boss battle.
  30. 30
    BOSS BATTLE: SPECTRAL DOKU (HARD MODE NOTE: Ghost Fish will assist Doku).

    Approach the Save Point and SAVE your game.
  33. 33
    Go to the far right of the path to find a chest. Open it.
  34. 34
    Go the other way. Search a dead body for a MAP. Continue down the path to encounter Shadow Fiends. Use Izuna Drops on them.
Tips
  • When fighting Knightmares, let them attack first to gauge their non-guard-breaking attacks, then use non-stop counterattacks with the Dabilahro.
  • For Ghost Fish in Labyrinth 1, a jump attack followed by a continuous combo with the Flails is effective.
  • When ambushed by Catwomen, use Explosive Arrows and stay evasive.
  • Against Crab Fiends, use Ultimate Techniques (UT's) or the Flying Swallow.
  • Save your game frequently, especially before entering new areas or after difficult fights.
