PrinceWatercress plays Akuji The Heartless - Part 2 of 14


The next level of the game takes place in the rainy reaches of Pluton, where we have to hit switches to reach the exit and even return to previous points to find things that weren't there before. We have a mission from Baron Samedi to complete if we want to go back to the land of living, and we have no choice but to go through with it.


2:34 - Akuji's words at the beginning of the level.

3:03 - Waiting at the sides will give you two flaming red skulls. These give you Hell Blast, which is a more powerful projectile than the rapid fire shot in Fire Burst that we got in Cocytus.

3:52 - Press the Crouch Button (default button is L2) while running to evade enemies with a forward roll. Press Attack while rolling to perform a rolling kick. (I've mentioned this before.)

4:52 - Be careful when you're down here for the Loa Stone; there are enemies about. Also, look around for health, Hell Blast pick-ups and voodoo dolls. You'll also find a non-flaming red skull that is dripping blood which gives you Shield of Blood. You only have a few uses of it, but when active, you can move up to enemies and absorb their health into your own.

6:25 - Placing the Loa Stone at the beginning will open up this grate.

7:00 - Hit the green switch here to open the grate. Watch out for reaper enemies as you approach the green teleportation gate and look around for pick-ups. When you head back towards the gate, more reaper enemies will approach, and there will be another legless zombie near the gate.

8:21 - Drop back down the grate for the first ancestor. This is very easy to miss.

9:40 - The altar here will refill your magic if you've used it all. Also, there is another Loa Stone here.

10:00 - Here, you can get more castings of Shield of Blood as well as the second ancestor.

10:59 - Try shooting spells while looking around. You can shoot down the switch here to trigger it. This will light a torch.

11:16 - The spinning boxes spawn reaper enemies. Destroy them with your blades.

11:43 - By hitting the nearby floor switch, the other torch is lit and the gate is up.

13:03 - The third ancestor.

13:22 - Dropping down here takes you to your fourth ancestor. Be sure to look around for it; you probably saw it earlier.

15:14 - As you do, you'll see four switches. Hit them all to light four torches and open up another gate.

15:25 - Hit this guy with your blades as you corner him. He means business.

16:17 - Destroying the four spawning boxes to open up the exit. Don't forget to get the voodoo dolls behind the spirit gate.

18:25 - Baron Samedi opens up the path to Khalas.
