Tips
  • To collect all four secrets, you must combine elements of both the Smuggler's Path and the Temple Path, starting with the Smuggler's Path.
  • The statistics screen may show "Secrets Found: 4 of 3" if you collect all secrets by combining paths, but only three are required for the bonus level.
  • If you don't have the Harpoon Gun, one of the Harpoon bundles in the lagoon will contain it.
  • Be cautious of traps, including spikes and poison darts, by observing the environment and following the walkthrough carefully.
