PrinceWatercress plays Illusion of Gaia - Part 18 of 21


It's time to enter the Great Pyramid...and this one has six different chambers. You'll have to get through them all to get through this one.




Dao



The exit out of the village is to the west.

Great Pyramid




The orbs at the beginning shoot unblockable lasers, and if you destroy them, you will open up a path to a Dark Space portal. If you go north up the stairs, you will see a wall with some panels as well as a man in blue who will tell you that there is a trap in the room that responds to sound. You'll be coming back to this room again.

When you enter the Dark Space portal, you will have access to another statue to the right. Talk to Gaia first, and she will tell you about the ultimate warrior, Shadow. She will also give you the Aura Ball, which is used when you transform into Shadow.

Gaia will also tell you that most of the pyramid is below the surface, and that you will have to go down into the pyramid as Shadow. Go up to Shadow's statue, and you will turn into Shadow, a warrior made from the light of the comet. Since his body has no shape, he will be able to use the Aura Ball to slip into the cracks in the pyramid to go down.

Shadow punches things when you press A, and he has a lot of range.

If you see a lot of bricks underneath the floor, you can equip the Aura Ball and press B to turn Shadow's body into water in order to enter the rest of the pyramid. You will see another Dark Portal that will allow you to change into Will and Freedan when necessary. The dark blue portal will take you back to the upper level if you press A while standing on it.

The rest of the time, if you press B with the Aura Ball, you will sink into the floor.

The bird men will carry shields and spears, and they can run at you as well as lunge at you. If they step back with their spears out, they are about to do the lunge.

When you enter the first chamber, teleport to Will in order to use your Spin Dash to get around. You will be switching between Will, Freedan and Shadow often in order to get through all six areas of the pyramid.

When you reach the end of a section, you will find a Heiroglyph Stone. You will have to enter the room across from the stairs in the upper part of the pyramid entrance and consult Olman's journal in order to figure out where to place the tone. Thankfully, there will be a portal leading back to the pyramid entrance and the puzzle room near where you find the stone. You must place the symbols in the same order where they appear in Olman's journal.

If you see fireballs come out of what looks like nothing, strike at where the fireballs are coming from. There are invisible bird heads that will shoot at you, When you attack it once, it will stop being invisible but it will keep firing out fireballs that you can block.

There are switches and tiles that allow you to raise and lower certain pars of the pyramid in order to get around. Take advantage of them to get through the later parts of the pyramid.
