Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Solve the Pyramid Puzzle: Equip the Dabilahro. Approach the temple and smash the crack to enter. Go downstairs to fight three Knightmares. Use the Dabilahro's counterattack strategy against their aggressive moves. After defeating them, grab the SERPENT DIETY statue and exit the Pyramid.
  2. 2
    Find the Griffon Key: Head towards the GRIFFON DOOR. Go through the glowing portal to the HELLISH DEPTHS. Defeat the Arioch Crabs, Zombie Soldiers, and Pincer Fiends to reveal a chest containing the GRIFFON KEY. Return and use the key to unlock the GRIFFON DOOR.
  3. 3
    Navigate The Labyrinth 1: Enter the first area of the Labyrinth and defeat the Ghost Fish using jump attacks and combos with the Flails. Find Life of the Gods #41 in an alcove.
  4. 4
    Find the Lion Key: Proceed down the path, equip the Flails, and defeat attacking Ghost Fish. After they are dead, defeat the ambushing Catwomen using Explosive Arrows. The LION KEY will be left behind. After leaving the area, defeat another ambush of Catwomen and Arioch Crabs. Enter the LION DOOR.
  5. 5
    Navigate Labyrinth 2: Upon entering, turn left and go to the end for Golden Scarab #48. Go back and up the stairs, SAVE your game. In an alcove to the left of the Save Point, find Life of the Gods #42. Avoid the LIONESS DOOR area and take the long path to the right, defeating Ghost Fish along the way.
  6. 6
    Find the Lioness Key: Enter the large alcove across from Muramasa's Statue for Golden Scarab #49. Find another alcove behind it with a chest. Clear out the Ghost Fish in the final alley and approach the chest at the end to find the LIONESS KEY.
  7. 7
    Boss Battle Preparation: Return to the Save Point, SAVE your game. Go back and use the LIONESS KEY to enter the next area for the boss battle against Spectral Doku. Prepare for an ambush of Ghost Fish, Arioch Crabs, and Red Dinos upon entering the area with the LIONESS DOOR. Use aerial combos with Flails for Fish, UT's for Crabs, Explosive Arrows for Crabs, and essence for Dinos.
Tips

  • Use jump attacks and combos with the Flails against Ghost Fish.
  • Employ Explosive Arrows against Catwomen, especially when they are in mid-air.
