The turtles, known as Dunguns, have pretty high defense and will explode when you kill them. Until you hit Level 12, they'll be hard to do a lot of damage to with your physical attacks. Use repeated dash attacks for the best results. They can also slide around, and are resistant to PyroRings. If you can get a few of them on-screen at one time, kill them off with a SnowRing. Also, some of the bushes you can pick up and throw contain bees that will sting you when you get too close.

The maze is pretty easy for the most part. You'll be going from ground level to river bank level and back again as you go through this area.

When you see a message saying that storm clouds are blotting out the sun, the screen will get a little darker. This keeps the Dunguns from exploding.

You'll learn from a nearby fly-trap that the lack of rain around here has led to the land becoming barren, and that natives made altars to hold rain dance ceremonies with.

The lizards with swords that jump around are pretty easy to destroy with dashing attacks, for the most part. The lizards that move around on four legs are pretty easy to destroy as well...just don't let them hit you from a distance with their tails.

You won't be able to access the two chests east of the Rainfall Altar on the upper-left corner of the area immediately. You'll have to do some things before you can open the chests there.

The Doumas will exhale projectiles at you. 

You'll learn from the soul of the first Douma you'll (probably) be able to kill that four Shamans controlled the weather at each of the four Rainfall Altars. This sounds like a clue for getting stuff done around here, I would imagine.

To revive the plants and water for each area, you'll need to find four souls in each area. To do this, you'll need to go everywhere that you can in a barren area and destroy monsters to find these souls. Once you find the four souls for that area, head to the Rainfall Altar for that area and you'll reawaken the plant life there, and even bring the water back so you can head to other areas. By reviving the plants and water, animals will be able to come back as there will be grass to serve as food.

Be careful when you're exploring. There are chests and items in the lower levels that can be made unattainable if you flood them with water before you get to them.

Now that the grass and water are back, you can reach areas that you wouldn't be able to get to before. Also, the two chests east of the Rainfall Altar that were blocked by the tree are now accessible, as the dead tree that blocked your path is no longer there. One of the two chests contains a Sticker, which is a little more powerful than the Roc Spear. Be sure to swim in the water and look for chests you couldn't reach before, as one of them contains a DEF Potion that raises your defense by one point when consumed.
