PrinceWatercress plays Tombs and Treasure - Part 3 of 4


In this entry, we complete the last of the puzzles in the game before going down the Well of Sacrifice on our own. This is going to get perilous.


From here, head to the Well of Paradise. It will be a bit south from here.

Well of Paradise

Wash the Sun Necklace. The jewel will shine brightly, and you will now know the position of the sun in the circle in the top center of the screen. Yellow is dawn, white is noon, red is dusk and black is midnight. From here, leave and head back north to the Temple of Warriors.

Temple of Warriors

You'll face the jaguar again. Switch to The Girl and use the Golden Pipes to stop the jaguar and turn it back into a statue. You can now take the Blue Jewel. Join the Blue Jewel with the Sword.

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.
