Table of contents
Mouth
Continue heading right until you reach a set of dropping pillars.
Run past them when they rise and jump to the grapple point on the other side. Keep progressing with the Grapple and Dash points until you reach a point with two paths.
There’s a chest with coins on the lower path with the falling pillars, but the upper path is safer.
Defeat the enemies and drop down to the dash point below on the other side.
Continue parkouring through the next segment to face some more enemies up ahead.
Pass under a few more falling pillars to reach the next Shrine.
Throat
Activate the Shrine after the cutscene and use your Glider to gently make your way to the bottom part of this section.
Don’t get hit by the spikes on the side, or you’ll have to restart the segment from the beginning.
Once you reach the end, you’ll drop down to the next location with the Shrine right next to you.
Cavity
The path below is blocked by three colored barriers.
From the Shrine, use the Grapple Point above to climb to the upper ledge on the right.
Pass under the falling pillar to face a few enemies on the other side. Defeat them and then use the platform above to reach the upper section.
Slide under the spikes and cross the disappearing platforms to reach a ledge with a Yellow Pus.
Break the Yellow Pus here to remove the yellow-colored barrier near the Cavity Shrine.
Return to the area where you fought the enemies earlier and continue heading right.
Drop down to a room with a falling pillar. On the other side, you’ll spot a Purple Pus.
Hitting it triggers a gauntlet. Defeat the monsters to clear the purple barrier near the Cavity Shrine.
After the gauntlet, continue heading left to loop back to the Shrine.
This time, go left to find a Grapple Point.
Keep grappling until you reach the final Green Pus. Break it to remove the green barrier and fully unlock the path below the Shrine.
Return to the Shrine and head down. Use the Glider to descend carefully, avoiding the spikes on the walls. At the bottom, you’ll find the next Shrine.
Airway Entrance
Head left from the Shrine and use the air currents to glide upward.
Take the left path to find a Yokai Barrier. Break through it and enter the next room.
You’ll face another gauntlet of enemies here. Defeat them all and continue heading left.
Progress through the following section using the grappling points and air currents. Eventually, you’ll reach a Yokai Floor Barrier. Use Sword Dive to break through and drop down.
On the right, you’ll see three colored barriers blocking the path.
Go left and ride the air currents upward. About halfway up, jump and dash to the left platform to find the Green Pus. Break it to remove the first barrier.
Head back down and ride the air currents again, but this time go all the way up.
Jump to the platform on the right and continue forward using the air currents until you find the Purple Pus. Break it.
Afterward, drop down from the left side while gliding and land on a platform with the Yellow Pus. Break it to remove all remaining barriers.
From the Yellow Pus platform, drop down into the dash point to return to the earlier location.
Now head right through the unlocked path to reach the next Shrine.
Lungs
From the Lungs Shrine, glide forward while carefully avoiding the falling pillars and spikes in your path.
Once you reach the other side, drop down to the right.
Defeat the exploding bots and continue moving forward.
You’ll eventually drop down into a room with a ramp on the right. Slide down the ramp to spot a grappling point above you.
Use it to reach the ledge, where a group of enemies will attack. Defeat them all.
After the fight, ride the air currents with your Glider, going all the way to the top.
Drop down on the right to enter the next section and activate the following Shrine.
Stomachs
From the Shrine, head right and use the grappling point to immediately run into an ambush.
Defeat the enemies and continue moving forward.
You’ll come to a section with disappearing platforms. Time your jumps carefully to make it across.
On the other side, you’ll see two colored barriers on the floor blocking the path below.
Go right to face a few more enemies. After clearing them out, use the grappling points to reach the upper platform. Keep heading right into the next section.
Here, you’ll find an exploding bot on the upper platform and the Purple Pus on the right.
Defeat the bot, then drop down to hit the Purple Pus and break the first barrier.
Climb back up to the upper platform and continue all the way to the right. Cross the acid pit using the grapple point and keep moving forward.
Break through the Yokai Floor Barriers ahead, then slide down the ramp on the left.
Jump across the platforms before you fall into the acid, and use the dash point to reach the Blue Pus.
Hit it, then push the Yellow Box out of the way to create a shortcut back to the Shrine.
Finally, drop down through the newly opened hole to reach the next Shrine.
Second Stomach
In this area, you’ll need to destroy three more Pus to open the path further down. Head right first and defeat the axe-throwing enemy.
Use the disappearing platforms to climb up and continue right into the next section.
Work your way down until you reach a room with the Purple Pus.
Breaking it triggers a gauntlet. Defeat all the enemies to remove the first barrier.
Once done, return to the Shrine by heading left from the gauntlet room.
From the Shrine, go left and jump into the dash point. Don’t get hit by the erupting acid.
Cross the disappearing platforms, and about halfway through, you’ll notice a grapple point above you.
Use it to climb up and head left. Continue following the path until you reach a passage accessible with a climbable wall. Take this passage to move into the next section.
Drop down through the opening and head left.
You’ll come across an Elite Encounter symbol.
Go past it and run up the wall to find another Pus on the upper platform.
Destroy it, then push the yellow box out of the way. Jump across to the other side and exit right.
Drop down, then dash right to grab onto the climbable wall. Go down and take the passage below to reach a new section.
Break the Yokai Barrier here and keep descending until you find the next Pus. Break it, then climb back up using the right-side path.
With all barriers removed, take the now-open path next to the Shrine to head further down.
Defeat the two enemies that spawn, then use the Grapple Point on the right to reach the climbable wall.
Climb up and use the platforms to access a passage on the top-right side.
Follow this path to reach the next Shrine.
Cannon
As you head right from the Shrine, you’ll see more Pus blocking the path ahead.
When the cutscene ends, push the yellow canister into the slot on the ground. This activates one of the lights on the cannon in the background.
Ride the air current up to reach a ledge on the left.
Head through the passage and jump up to find another yellow canister.
As soon as you start pushing it, enemies will spawn. Defeat them, then drop the canister down to the lower floor from the right side.
Go down and push the canister left until it falls into the slot.
Return to the air current area, but instead of gliding up, head down.
You’ll spot the final canister on your right, but to reach it you need to take the path on the left.
Drop through the opening on the left. Use the disappearing platforms to make it across, then wall jump your way up.
This brings you to the other side of the canister. Push it into the slot.
Now use the glider to ride the air current back up to the main area. Hit the switch and watch as the cannon fires, blowing up the barrier and opening the path forward.
Head through the new opening to reach the next Shrine.
Chest Cavity
From the Shrine, continue heading right and jump over the spike pit.
You’ll see a Grappling Point up ahead. Use it to reach the climbable wall.
This leads to a parkour section that you’ll have to complete to reach the next Shrine.
Upper Cavity
The Upper Cavity section is another parkour segment.
Continue moving through the obstacles, and you’ll eventually reach a Shrine with a Shop next to it.
The Heart
From the Shrine, jump left and break through the Yokai Floors below.
This drops you straight into the main boss fight of the zone against Tenval’s Heart.
As boss fights go, Tenval’s Heart doesn’t really fight back, but it’s incredibly tanky. It will take some time to chew through its massive health pool.
Throughout the battle, the Heart constantly summons minions to protect itself. You’ll also need to break the Yokai Barrier before you can actually deal damage.
At around the halfway point, acid fumes begin filling parts of the arena, forcing you to reposition while still focusing on the boss.
Once you finally defeat it, you’ll receive the Berserker Amulet, and the stage clears.
