Part 36

Alma Boss Fight: The main strategy is to evade Alma's attacks and maintain distance. When she lands, use a well-timed Flying Swallow or a charged Ultimate Technique (UT) to knock her down. While she's down, use a strong combo like the Dragon Tear combo to deal significant damage. Repeat this process.

Chapter 17: Vengeful Spirit - Objective: Solve the Pyramid Puzzle: Equip the Dabilahro. Approach the temple and smash the large crack to reveal a doorway. Enter and go down the stairs to face three Knightmares.

Defeating Knightmares: Equip the Dabilahro. Let the Knightmares attack first, as their regular attacks won't break Ryu's guard. Use non-stop counterattacks. After a few hits, they transform into black versions. Repeat the tactic to defeat all three.

Collecting the Serpent Deity Statue: Once the Knightmares are defeated, collect the SERPENT DIETY statue and exit the Pyramid.

Area: Outer Pyramid: Proceed down the grassy path towards the open doorway. The GRIFFON DOOR is locked. Go to the other open doorway with the Save Point. Save your game and visit Muramasa's Statue to restock.

Objective: Find the Griffon Key: Go past Muramasa's Statue to a glowing portal. Enter the portal to reach the Hellish Depths.

Area: Hellish Depths: In this small arena, defeat all the Shadow Fiends that swarm you. A chest containing the GRIFFON KEY will appear. Collect the key and teleport back. Use the key to unlock the GRIFFON DOOR.

Area: The Labyrinth 1: Prepare for an encounter with Ghost Fish. Equip the Flails and use a jump attack followed by a continuous combo upon landing.

Finding Life of the Gods #25: After defeating the Ghost Fish, enter the alcove between the walls at the back to find a chest containing a Life of the Gods.

Continuing Path: Go up the stairs, then the upper stairs to the top. Find a chest with a Devil Elixir and a dead body on the opposite side. Search the body for an item and proceed past the LION DOOR.

Objective: Find the Lion Key: Equip the Flails and go down the path to a lone chest containing the LION KEY. Ghost Fish will attack from behind; defeat them. Then, a trio of Catwomen will ambush you.

Defeating Catwomen and Crab Fiend: Use Explosive Arrows to shoot the Catwomen in mid-air while evading. After they are defeated, another ambush will occur with more Catwomen and a Crab Fiend. Use Explosive Arrows and your weapons to defeat them. Enter the LION DOOR.

Area: Labyrinth 2: Upon entering the LION DOOR, turn left and go to the end of the path to find a Golden Scarab (#48). Go back and up the stairs. Save your game at the Save Point. To the left of the Save Point is an alcove with a chest containing a Life of the Gods (#26).

Continuing Path: Avoid the open area with the LIONESS DOOR and take the long path to the right. Defeat the Ghost Fish encountered and continue down the path.

Objective: Find the Lioness Key: Enter the large alcove across from Muramasa's Statue to find a Golden Scarab (#49). There is another alcove behind it with a chest. Continue down the path, defeating Ghost Fish in an alley. Approach the chest at the end of the path to find the LIONESS KEY.

Returning to the Lioness Door: Make your way back to the Save Point. Defeat any Ghost Fish in your path and proceed to the open area with the LIONESS DOOR. You will be ambushed by Ghost Fish and two Crab Fiends.

Defeating Ambush: Use aerial combos with the Flails on the Ghost Fish and Ultimate Techniques (UTs) or Flying Swallows on the Crab Fiends.
