- 2To the left is a [_CORPSE_]. To the right, defeat an Amrita Fiend.
- 3In the room past the Fiend, break boxes for another [_CORPSE_].
- 4Past a FLOOR TRAP (which a Dweller will activate), the path splits into stairs, a back corner, and a pathway to the right.
- 5Go up the steps. Defeat the Fiend and collect the [_CORPSE_] at the top.
- 6Fight or charm the Nurikabe Wall to access a room with a [_CHEST_] and a staircase.
- 7Head downstairs, defeat a Dweller in the back, and find a [_HUNTER KODAMA_].
- 8Open the door to return near the first SHRINE.
- 9Return to the three-way path split. Take the path on the right (doubling back).
- 10Clear junk around the corner to find a Wheelmonk. Defeat it.
- 11Head PAST the nearby door into the basement, collecting a [_CORPSE_] on the way down.
- 12In the basement, watch for a SPIDER on the ceiling.
- 13The first two cells contain [_CORPSE x2_]. The next has a Dweller. The cell across is LOCKED.
- 14Note two FIENDS and a Kodama in the basement area.
- 15Enter the cell at the end (past another locked door on the right). Defeat a hidden Dweller and a Fiend.
- 16Collect the [_BIG CHEST_] in the room after the cell.
- 17Head back upstairs to the door near the corner.
- 18Enter the room. To your left is a [_CORPSE_]. A Fiend is in front. Defeat it.
- 19Ahead, another Fiend and a red circle (a lantern spitting Spirits) are present. Shoot the Fiend to lure it closer and defeat it.
- 20Go right into the hallway (watch for a drop) and defeat the lantern/spirits.
- 21In the room with the gap you entered from, go past the door. To the right is another door and a nearby [_CORPSE_].
- 22Nab the corpse (a trap is just past it) and enter the room. Guard immediately as a Dweller is above throwing bombs and barrels are trapped.
- 23Snipe the Dweller for a [_BIG CHEST_].

- 32After defeating the Ninja Yokai, proceed to the SHRINE.
- 33Unlock the giant gate near the shrine and use it to level up and create a checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death).
- 34From the shrine, exit the gate and go right, down the stairs.
- 35Enter the next "Lantern Room". Snipe the distant Dweller (past a FLOOR TRAP) and enter the room.
