  1. 1
    Head to the trap room and go down the left hallway to find a corpse. Open the door, which leads back to an earlier shrine.

    Return to the main path and enter the next room, which contains mist and a Ninja Yokai. Kill the Ninja.
  3. 3
    Take the left path, which leads to a dead-end with false walls, a Ninja, and a chest. A corpse is hidden behind one of the false walls in the hallway before this area. Do not use the Wall Doors here.
