To the Temple
With all four Corrupted gone you can teleport to the temple, just make sure you have a save file seperate for if you wish to go seed hunting. FYI, you must get out of the Warrior’s Fortress to teleport. You are welcome to manually make the trip back, if you want to.
*NOTE: If you think the last part is too long, by all means, go hunt all 1000 light seeds. Of course that will take much longer than doing the end sequence twice, and you can use that Jade outfit, eh!?*
Temple
Last chance to save your game and keep that file for the future. Go into the temple.
Yep, it’s just like the tutorials for each power, only you have all the powers and platforming thrown in.
Wall run, hit the rings, jump, and hit the rings to the plates until you reach a green; move right then left. From the red it’s red and a green; right then left, and another green to a yellow. Go left, down, up, then down, right, left, and one last right to the next green; go wide left on the second and back right. From the yellow pull up, up again, and then be ready to wall run to a ring, then a red plate. You hit another red, a few rings and jumps, then a safe blue, and that’s it.
*NOTE: Be sure subtitles are on because the audio is really low at times, or mine was just glitchy.*
A Father’s Sacrifce
You’ve been under a rock if you didn’t see this coming. Remember, any time you break into what you think is an Elika x3 combo, toss in a grab and aerial combo at the third button. No ring outs, be ready for any button press sequence, but mainly the mash attack, especially if you get near the edges, so try not to. So play the field left to right.
*NOTE: Saying to avoid the edges is not entirely true if the final attack puts him on the edge, then it’s cool because you add in a littl extra damage.*
Also, he can use any extra power, such as the reverse move, ink, and anything else you’ve seen before. One key thing to remember is if you don’t have Elika by you because you missed a shield, you will have on response for an attack mash press. More than ever you need to try and cancel his changing state as he is changing, to stop the health regeneration.
And that’s it. He seems a bit faster than the rest, but probably not. Just keep those blocks going, at the first sight of the attack coming, and go into two ground attacks, grab, and an aerial combo. Also keep an eye out for that second button press at times.
Anyway, not too hard, especially if you’ve gotten to learn the combat system, should be fairly easy, if only a little longer than usual.
Ahriman’s Gambit
*NOTE: If you didn’t know how to properly mash buttons, you will now. You just hold the controller on one knee, hold your index finger right above it, use your thumb and middle finger to squeeze it, and use your wrist to act like a jack hammer on the button. Sure, you can try your thumb only, but that won’t work most the time. Do this for all cleansings.*
Wall run right, on the vines, and take safety on the lighted area. When the corruption passes, go right and as you go along the fissure when you stop that means you must wall run to the next part of the fissure. So go until you reach the next plate. Then go down a lot, right, and heal this furtile ground.
*NOTE: I don’t know why you would, but if you stop on the vines you should perpare to get punched. Also, the corruption only rises when near a plate, so move quickly when close to one. The golden rule as you near a plate is to move up and right at an angle, that seems to be the only thing that works.*
Nope, not over. Keep going right (just like in the Mario days!) and reach the third plate. After the next fissure part, when you get on the vines you have to go right a bit more than you think, but please also move up as you do, then go up and quickly run up to the next plate before you’re too late. Then go right as you wall run between the patches of vines. Hit the plate, heal the ground, and you’re still not done.
Yep, keep going right to the plate. Keep going to the next plate, and reach the platform area below a ground. No, can’t go up, so keep going right. Hit the plate and keep going until you reach a flat area. The path will break away, so be ready for single jumps and one Elika jump to the next vines and to the plate. Go right along the rings to the ground you were under and cleanse it.
Now take the plate, and once you are in just tap like crazy the Elika button and you’re almost done.
Light to Darkness
Just leave the controller down for a minute, it’s a free achievement/trophy, so why not? The ramp is to your left, so walk up, and keep on walking that lonely walk. Certainly not your average credits. Keep going all the way out of the temple.
Interesting, huh? Start with the Citadel tree. The ring is behind on the left and for the second wall jump you have to do it quick. For the Vale’s tree you have to jump a narrow gap back and forth. For the Palace tree you jump from the low one to the left, then just normal jumps to the tree. For the City tree you take the ring and follow the rings to the tree. You cut each tree, if you didn’t realize.
Return to the temple and go in. Little scary what might happen, huh? Go in, cut the main tree, and I think you know what to do…
See you next time!
