ZonicTHedgehog plays Tomba! - Part 7 of 17


In this entry, we're free to do things at the Haunted Mansion...and we do a lot of things.


There is a doorway with a 100-Year-Old Chest with fruit in it and another door that looks like that it is made out of hay in the east side of the Haunted Mansion. You won't be able to do anything with the hay-looking door yet.

Large Key Panel 1 is also on the east side of the mansion. Inside the cavern where the key piece is located is a gold chest you won't be able to open yet.

On the north side of the mansion near the two eggs placed side by side is a cavern with a large painting of a key. The painting is really an indentation of a key, and you'll need all five Key Pieces to fill it in. By talking to the mouse near it, you'll trigger the "Painting of a Big Key?" objective. If you use the Key Panels near the indentation, you'll put the Key Panels in place so you don't have to carry them around (although you can't run out of inventory space).

Underneath the key indentation room is a cavern with a red chest you cannot open...yet.

The Jewel of Fire increases your running and jumping abilities and renders you invincible for brief periods of time. To use it, your red experience meter must be at the maximum level of 10. Once you reach that level, you can use it. By using the Jewel of Fire, Tomba will also have red hair. The Jewel of Fire is an equippable item as opposed to a disposable one, so you don't have to worry about the powers running out.

Now you can go back to the door that looks like it is made out of hay. Equip the Jewel of Fire and run into it, and you'll find out that the jewel's fire power will set the hay door ablaze. Behind the door, you'll find a 100-Year-Old Chest containing two pieces of cheese. You won't be able to open the blue chest here until you find the 1,000-Year-Old Key, and when you do get it, a Lunch Box will be waiting for you inside of the chest.

The big wooden door contains an old man near a blue chest, but you'll need to get past a big wall of fire to even speak to him. If you leave and come back, however you'll be able to talk to him. This is the 1,000-Year-Old Man, and he will tell you that the Evil Pigs use very powerful magic that can warp an entire area under their control, but to do that, they need an enormous amount of gold to produce this kind of magic. He will tell you that the Evil Pigs have to be gathering all this gold in one place, and that if you find this place, you'll find Tomba's grandfather's bracelet. This will complete the "The 1,000 Year Old Man?" objective, 

If you have broken all of the eggs located around the Haunted Mansion when you talk to the 1,000-Year-Old Man, you'll be able to complete the "Break the Magic Egg!" objective. If you haven't, he'll ask you to break them all. By completing this objective, you'll get the 1,000-Year-Old Key, which will allow you to open up the blue chests just like the one next to him. The old man will then tell you that you'll find what you need to get beyond Phoenix Mountain in a 1,000-Year-Old treasure chest left in Phoenix Mountain, and that there is a special technique in getting through the Lava Caves. Even more, the flames from the lava inside the caves will also be a problem, and there is nothing you can do until you find the Evil Pig that cast the spell that is making that happen and seal him away. The Evil Pig in question is the Green Evil Pig, and you'll find the Green Evil Pig Bag in the Lava Caves. That's not all you'll be doing, as the old man will also tell you to climb the Stand of the Sun Torch, which is nearby. Doing so will show you a new power, but it will be up to you to find the way. Finally, he will tell you that some friends of his will help you on the road ahead, and to be careful of the 10,000-Year-Old Man. He implies that he may be a bit odd, but he does say that the 10,000-Year-Old Man is not a bad man.

The third Large Key Panel is below a 1,000-Year-Old chest - which contains a Stone Boomerang, which is more powerful than the wooden one - in one of the caverns in the south side of the mansion. The Stone Boomerang doesn't stun enemies; it outright defeats them when thrown.

One of the caverns in the east side of the mansion contains an egg you can break.

There is a stone wall in the room underneath the big keyhole door. You won't be able to do anything with it yet.

If you go back to the town square in Baccus Village, the mouse on the right will mention the Healing Mushroom curing the effects of the mushrooms that make you laugh or cry, and asks what to take to get well in case you eat a Suspicious Mushroom or other kinds of mushrooms.

There are two people in the house in the square now. The one on the left will mention the key panels if you talk to them.

By taking the southern exit out of Baccus Village, you'll return to Phoenix/Stormy Mountain. From here, you can go back and open the 1,000-Year-Old Chests in earlier areas as well as take care of new business in earlier areas.

By going back to the Mushroom Forest, grabbing a Crying Mushroom, holding Up at the sad door and crying with Square in front of it, you'll complete the "Cry Baby" objective. By going through the door, you'll find a bunch of fruit to heal with as well as two pieces of Cheese.

By going back to the Mushroom Forest, grabbing a Laughing Mushroom, holding Up at the happy door and laughing with Square in front of it, you'll be able to open the door and get the last Key Panel (which in this case is number five). Go back to the huge key indentation and put all five Key Panels in to get the Big Key and complete the "Painting of a Big Key?" objective. Go back to the door with the big keyhole and open it with the Big Key to complete the "A Large Key Hole!" objective, then go inside to enter a cavern. Swing from one wooden pole to the other and open the 1,000-Year-Old Chest to get a Pink Evil Pig Bag. This will complete the "The Haunted Pig Bag" objective and open up the "The Haunted Mansion" objective, which you'll need to beat the Pink Evil Pig to complete.
