ZonicTHedgehog plays Tomba! - Part 10 of 17


In this entry, we explore the Lava Caves, find the Hidden Village, and help a thief.


By equipping the Grapple and the Funk Parasol, you can get around the Lava Caves more easily. Not only can you grapple onto the flying Koma Pig, you can more easily get to other platforms.

If you get to any chests, un-equip the Funky Parasol before opening them. You'll be able to find Charity Wings, 1-Ups, a Lunch Box and even a Vitality Max +1 in the chests that you can open right now, and you can also find some more Bunk Flowers out of the open. Just be ready to save yourself on the drop down.

Somewhere up top in the Lava Caves is a guy on a cliff in the wall. He is there because the area where he is standing is shielded from the heat of the lava, and by continuing to talk to him, he will tell you that he lost a very important item that he was taking care of for his boss, and came back here to look for it. Unfortunately, the heat made it unbearable. This triggers the "The Troubled Thief" objective. Thankfully, there is an area near the top that you'll need to use the Grapple to latch onto the orange plant platform between a wall and a cliff, and on the cliff is a white sack. This is What The Thief Lost. No, seriously, that's the name of the item. Make sure not to touch the red glowing part of the wall on the way up, as it will damage you. Bring it back to the thief you met earlier by going up to him and using it as an item, and you'll complete the objective.

To get the "The Phoenix's Favorite" objective, you have to talk to the mice at the bar after completing "Death Fruit Juice." They will ask for Bunk Flowers, and the only place to get them is here in the Lava Caves. If you collect five, you'll complete "The Phoenix's Favorite."

Above What The Thief Lost is the entrance to the Hidden Village.

If you talk around, you'll find out about a boy named Yan who loves to play hide-and-seek. Unfortunately, nobody has seemed to find him. If you talk to the man in the house next to the save point sign, he will give you Yan's Lunch Box. DO NOT EAT THE LUNCH BOX. You'll then get the "Take Out" objective.

Another person in the village will tell you that the Koma Pigs are protecting "some sort of unusual gold thing" in the area. Could this be where the Koma Pigs are storing all that gold...?

If you talk to the guy with the blue hair who is walking around outside in the village, he will wish he had something to eat. This triggers the "I'm So Hungry" objective. If you walk in his path to stop him and use a Lunch Box, he will introduce himself as Taro and give you some Cheese in return, completing the objective.

At the north end of the village is a giant egg statue. Maybe it serves a purpose...?

When you return to the Haunted Mansion, the mansion will no longer be haunted and there will be happy music. Also, you can see the material of the roofs, the dark blue Kokka birds will be gone, and all the people in the mansion will be back to normal. There is a man on the north side of the mansion blocking a 1,000-Year-Old Chest, and you won't be able to get to it...yet.

Remember that area with the stone door in the mansion? There's a 1,000-Year-Old Chest there, and if you open it, you'll get a Vitality Max +1.

The room with the long pool of water in it has a 1,000-Year-Old Chest with a Large Lunch Box in it. You can get it with the Funky Parasol if you can make a long enough running jump, but learning to swim makes getting it easier.

There are some tree limbs up high in the area where you have to swing to get to the area with the 100-Year-Old Man. If you go up to the highest limbs and swing your way to the right after getting the 100-Year-Old Key, you'll be able to open a 100-Year-Old Chest with yet another Vitality Max +1 which could have been gotten much earlier in the game.

The AP Box near the Old Pond contains a Cheese if you interact with it. Speaking of which, you can make a running jump to the other side with the Funky Parasol, but there is nothing you can do there yet.

The 1,000-Year-Old Chest up high to the left of the house in the Dwarf Forest contains another Vitality Max +1. The maximum amount of health unit you can have is eight, however.

The 1,000-Year-Old Chest in the doctor's hut in the Dwarf Village contains Charity Wings.
