Saxcat's Gaming Corner plays Tombs and Treasure - Part 3 of 3


...and now, the thrilling conclusion!



Your next destination is the Ball Court, which is west of the Temple of Warriors.

Ball Court

Look around when you enter, and you'll face Hornskull. Fight him as The Boy. You should be able to take him out at this point if you have the Blue Jewel in the Sword.

If you look at the Cog, you'll notice that several cogs are held in place by a Stone Pawl.

Go forward and look at the Blue Block. Take the Blue Block. You'll hear a rumbling sound. From here, go back to the entrance and leave.

You'll then need to head to the High Priest's Tomb, which is south of here.

Tomb of Hi-Priest/Ball Court

Go right to the tomb and look at the skeleton. Move the Skull to reveal the keyhole, then use the Iron Key on the keyhole. The coffin will close and move away to reveal a stairway into a corridor. Go down to enter an underground corridor. You'll be in the Ball Court at this point. If you try to go anywhere, all the places will look the same. Join the Small Rod with the Shallow Bowl to create a makeshift compass. Use the Shallow Bowl and you'll reach a small room.

Look at the Akbal Jewel. You'll learn that the jewel has the ability to rob demons of their power. Take the Akbal Jewel. The exit will disappear, but there will be an entrance to the left. Go left. You'll be back where you were in the Ball Court before you left. This time, go forward. If you do it again, you'll find out it is pitch black in that direction. If you look at the wall, Jose will say that if you were to wear a mask here, you would see something. Unfortunately, we do not have the right combination to make that happen...yet. Keep going backwards until you reach the entrance, then take the Stone Pawl. The cogs will spin and the passage will be locked. From here, go backwards to leave.

Head back to El Castillo, which is southeast from here.

Castillo Pyramid

Put the Blue Block in the hole in the floor. The block will fit exactly, and an entrance will appear in the floor. Go down to enter the basement and find a mechanism in the wall. Put the Stone Pawl on the shaft, then change to Jose and move the Stone Handle. This will cause a load roar and some water to flow. Go back upstairs, then go backwards to leave and head to the Well of Sacrifice to the northeast.

Well of Sacrifice/Castillo Pyramid

When you reach the Well of Sacrifice, it will be empty. Go down, and Jose will tell you that people who were sacrificed here were trapped in a crystal coffin by a golden light, and that you'll need the Crystal Key and the Gold Mirror. You'll also need the Blue Jewel and the Akbal Jewel. Once you have everything, go down there again. You'll then go in alone with just The Boy while Jose and The Girl wait.

Look around and you'll face Venum. Use the Akbal Jewel, then fight him. After the battle, move the Head of the Right Statue and the door will open. Go forward and use the Gold Mirror. The light will hit the mirror, strike the pattern on the wall and reveal an exit.

If you look at the coffin, you'll find a body inside the coffin wearing a mask. There is a Hollow in the left side of the coffin, and if you use the Crystal Key on it, the coffin will open. You can then take the Mask. This is the Two-Eye Mask, and you'll need it soon. Go backwards to step away from the coffin, then go forward into the recently revealed passage. You'll be back in the Castillo Pyramid basement. Go upstairs and then backwards twice.

You'll be alone when you're on the overworld. Head back northeast to the Well of Sacrifice to reunite with Jose and The Girl. You'll find Jose lying on the ground beside the well. Look at the Guide to get Jose to pull himself together. Jose will tell you that The Girl has been kidnapped and that their lair is somewhere in the Ball Court to the west, but you won't be able to do anything there. Instead, head to the Tomb of the High Priest, which is southwest of the Well of Sacrifice and south of the Ball Court.

Tomb of Hi-Priest

Go right through the door and downstairs to the underground corridor, then use the Shallow Bowl to get back to the Akbal Jewel room. Go to the left, then keep going forward until the game tells you it is pitch black in that direction. Join the Two-Eye Mask with the Red Jewel, then join the Two-Eye Mask with the Blue Jewel, then use the Two-Eye Mask to find a white block in the left wall.

Push the White Block to open a door to the left. Go left. You'll be near a temple. Approach it, and you'll face Tezcat. Join the Blue Jewel with the Sword before fighting Tezcat before fighting him as The Boy, or you will not survive.

From here, wait until midnight, then use the Large Flask. Jose will turn into Scareface, and he will tell you that his friends kidnapped The Girl and that he has the Ring of Itza, and that all he needs is the Sun Key to overthrow Tentacula, become the leader of the Mayans and rule the world forever. 

You'll have to fight Scareface. Use the Akbal Jewel, then fight him until he is destroyed. You may have to game over and continue to beat him, as the game does not let you leave the room if your health is low. You'll get the Ring of Itza, but now you need to find The Girl. Make sure it is midnight (wait if you have to), then use the Large Flask. You will shrink down, and the temple will get bigger. Go forward to the temple.

You'll see the Sun Key and the keyhole in the wall to the left. Use the Silver Key to unlock the temple, then go backwards and use the Small Flask to grow back to normal size. Move the Temple to open the palace, then take the Sun Key. You will take the key and the temple will close, but the room will start to shake. You'll then be in the Shrine of Tentacula.

Look around and you'll face Tentacula, King of the Underworld. Use the Ring of Itza to hold it in the light, then use the Akbal Jewel. Finally, fight Tentacula. It will take some doing, but Tentacula will be defeated. From here, look at the Stand. The Girl will be lying down. Go backwards, then put the Censer on the floor and Put the Incense to place it in the censer, then use the Lighter to light the incense. This will wake The Girl up.

The Girl will tell you to use the Sun Key on the stand to lock this place up forever. Do it, and the whole palace will start to rock. The Boy and The Girl will get out of there, and upon reaching the exit, Tentacula is trapped in the temple forever and the door to the time of the Mayans is opened. The Boy and The Girl will meet The Professor, and thanks to our defeating Tentacula, the main characters are treated like royalty. The Boy and The Girl now live in the time of the Mayan civilization, where they are praised as heroes as the game ends.
