In this entry, we travel through the Pools of the Ancient Dead. There is a lot of water here as well as a lot of places where you can slip off the ground and lose an entire Life Bottle here, so going slow here is absolutely crucial.
0:42 - The opening cutscene for the Pools of the Ancient Dead.
2:28 - While the armored enemies cannot be destroyed, they can be pushed into the water with your weapons. Doing this will give you energy for the Chalice. Also, whack at the tentacles to keep them from hitting you.
3:13 - Oh, hey, Charon. Charon needs to gather up eight lost souls, and if you can do that, you can take a ride to Mellowmede and get out of here.
4:34 - There are guys who throw stuff at us, but the throwing axes takes care of them in three hits. From here, you'll be in the marsh maze, where you'll spend the majority of your time in the level. There will be a ton of spear-throwing skeletons and armored enemies coming at you, but you should be able to take care of them. Also, go through this area slowly; bridges can fall into the water below, and it is easy to fall into the water and lose a life bottle.
8:01 - One of the chests contains Kul Kutura, who will make quick work of some of the enemies here. You'll still have to deal with the armored knights on your own, though.
9:18 - The first lost soul. Use the Daring Dash to get to it.
10:01 - The second lost soul. The bridge you use to get to it will disappear when you grab it.
10:56 - The third lost soul. Another bridge disappears when you grab it.
12:23 - The fourth lost soul. The bridge nearby disappears when you grab it, and given how I did it, it goes away in front of me this time.
13:07 - The fifth lost soul. Be ready to fight some enemies after you get it.
13:47 - The sixth lost soul.
14:28 - Another Life Bottle! The seventh lost soul and a bunch of post-collection enemies are also nearby.
15:12 - Start running. Use the Daring Dash to keep from getting hit. The eighth and last lost soul is here, as well as a whole army of enemies. Push them all off the cliff to open the doors back up.
16:44 - Flying mantra-ray like enemies will now be in the maze when you come back. Thankfully, the throwing axe will tear them apart, and while they will shoot projectiles, you can hear them coming.
Once you're done here, all that's left to do is to explore the maze for the Chalice and then get back to Charon. From there, press Select, press Down and select the Soul Helmets to get out.
21:42 - This Chalice will net us 150 Gold.
