PrinceWatercress plays Akuji The Heartless - Part 8 of 14


In this entry, we beat the warden of the second vestibule and head to the third one. This stage is mostly like the last, but this time around, we're also jumping on webs and swinging around on ziplines while flying enemies nearly kill us. This will be fun.


To beat Okal, you'll need to destroy the spider spawners. You can either press Jump and Attack simultaneously to perform an aerial strike, or you can use Ring of Death if they are lower enough. Some of the spawners will give you Spirit Strike, and you'll need those for Okal.

After you destroy the spawners, Okal will show up. Equip Spirit Strike and stay on the move, so you can fire off your own homing shots while avoiding Okal's. There are webs you can climb for pick-ups and health, but the spiders will sap your energy if they get to you.

0:50 - The intro for Okal.

4:31 - Akuji makes another brutal sacrifice.

5:39 - Baron Samedi opens up the third vestibule and the door to Ladhaa.

6:47 - The intro for Ladhaa.

7:11 - After getting the magic behind the hut, you'll learn about the uppercut here.

7:37 - These flying enemies will fall quickly from the uppercut. They also usually show up in pairs.

8:33 - The nets work just like the leaves from the previous level.

9:00 - The first ancestor, which is really easy to miss.

9:17 - Jump into the handle to continue on.

9:51 - This platform tilts around as you move around on it. Destroy the bug skull that acts as an wasp spawn point on the other side.

10:21 - At the bottom of the platform is Doom Blast. We haven't had that in a while.

10:39 - The second ancestor. Again, this one is easy to miss.

11:44 - This switch activates a platform that allows us to continue with the level. At the top is a spider wearing a cow skull.

12:36 - Be very careful with your jumps here; one mistake will be your last if you don't jump off the very edge.

14:15 - The third ancestor.

15:12 - Be careful on these platforms. It is easy to either get pushed off or miss a jump and fall all the way down. You also can't grab on if you come close to landing on one of them, either.

16:31 - The spinning log platform.

20:22 - By looking up and destroying the wasp skull with Soul Seeker, you'll cause a ladder to drop down here. This will take you to the fourth ancestor.

21:37 - By staying near the edges of these nets, you'll make the jumps here easier.

22:16 - Unintentional double kill.

23:35 - The Baron opens the path to Seiomos.

24:57 - I finally die. Brilliant.

29:12 - The road less travelled...
