Continue from the Entrance to the Tunnel in Ruined Citadel, King’s Gate – Light Seeds.


The Tunnel’s Entrance

 

Wall run to the narrow ledge on the left wall. Shimmy right and wall run to the ledge jumping off the wall.

Jump off here

 

Left wall: wall run past two narrow ledges to the next ledge.

Left wall: a wall run past two vines.


Here you must pass two vines in a row

 

Climb the vines on the wall and vault up to the next vines. Wall run left and jump off to the grated ledge.


Hanging from the higher vines


Wall run left and jump off

 

Jump to the grated protruding ledge of the next ledge. This is the junction like seen on the Map: the left way is leading to The Cauldron and the right way to The Temple. Ask confirmation from Elika’s flair: you’ll have to follow left.


Turn left here

 

You are entering The Cauldron. A conversation with Elika starts.

Elika: The Fertile Ground is up on that plateau. We can use the vines to get up there and then make our way across.
Prince: Make our way across to what?


Let’s find out

 

Prince: What are all these... pipes and... ?
Elika: When Ahriman took the City from the Ahura, the Alchemist conducted his experiments here. He used prisoners to build these things and as subject for his...


...experiments

 

Prince: Scary guy this Alchemist then?
Elika: He can make the Corruption act for him, he shapes it, makes it become what he wishes.
Prince: There was a potter I knew like that, the things she could do with her hands...
[NOTE: Did Harry turn into a woman now?].
Prince: These “experiments”... ?
Elika: They were for science, it means...
Prince: Polymaths, Alchemists, Astronomers. Colorful things that go bang and lots of numbers. See, even I read a book once. Science and Alchemy, Alchemy and Science... interesting subjects...
Elika: We didn’t turn lead to gold, sorry.

Make a Savegame here: it is a Checkpoint for The Cauldron.

Turn around and jump up to the vines over the gap. Climb to the ledge.


Jump up to the vines


Climb to the ledge

 

A new conversation starts while the camera is moving away showing how the acid water’s level is rising.

Elika: It’s the alchemist.
Prince: I think we jut lost our way out of here.
Elika: If we can’t keep above the Corruption, we’ll lose more than that!
Prince: The Corruption better not be rising like this everywhere or we’re in even deeper trouble! Not exactly polite, he hardly knows us and he’s trying to kill us.
Elika: We’d better get higher.

Walk over the narrow beam bending right to another wooden ledge. Jump on to the slide slope and at the end of your slide jump to the grated ledge.


Jump to the bending slope

Jump to the vines and move up to the next ledge. Jump from the first protruding beam to the second. On this ledge jump to the vines and climb to the higher ledge.


Jump to the vines and climb to the ledge


Jump past two protruding beams to the next vines


On the higher ledge

 

Elika: Try not to get your feet wet.

Follow right to the grated part of the ledge and look down to spot a slope. Jump, slide down and at the end of your slide jump up to the higher ledge.


Jump to the slope


Slide down


Jump up to the ledge

 

Pull up. Jump to the narrow beam and to the next ledge.


From the narrow beam to the ledge

 

On the other end of the ledge you will see two columns hanging from the roof. Jump to the first one. From here you notice a ring behind the second and shorter column. Move up.


Jump to the first column


The shorter column and the ring

 

Roofrun to the second column and on to the ring where you press red to reach a higher ledge. Pull up.


Roofrun to the second column


Prepare a roofrun to the ring


When touching the ring press red


Reach a higher ledge


Pull up

 

Run to the grated section on the left of the ledge, jump to the opposite ledge and on to a next ledge. Turn right and jump to the ledge by the wall with Elika’s help.


You’ll need Elika’s help for this jump

 

Jump up to a narrow beam protruding from the wall. Jump to the ledge on your left.


On the narrow beam

 

There is one of your other slopes bending to the left this time. Jump, slide and jump to the wall, automatically doing a wall run and jumping to the large platform.


Jump to the slope


Slide down


Jump and wall run


Jumping off to the large platform

      

Look up. This is an open area.


An open area

 

Look left to spot a reddish Creature lurking on a balcony in the left corner.

Elika: We need to reach him, to stop him.


Hey! Step away from there


The Creature on the balcony shifts shape

 

It reshapes under the beam and a battle will start. This is the Alchemist!


The Alchemist resurrects under the light beam

 

The best combo to use here is a couple of jumps until you are near and press green, yellow, blue or any other combo starting with green or yellow. Also green, blue, blue does a good job, just like deflecting and red, blue.
Anyway, the Alchemist is easier to defeat than the Hunter. However he also has the ability to increase his Health under the blue light beam. You will defeat him quite fast though.


The battle with the Alchemist

 

Prince: Now that should teach you something.
Elika: Be alert, he might return.
Prince: Go work your magic.

Press yellow and watch Elika stepping under the light beam.


Tap yellow repeatedly

 

Watch how the Corrupted Ground gets Fertile.


The Fertile Ground is healed

 

Then Elika has weakened again.


The Corruption has gone...

 

...it looks like we have a way out of here.

This is an Autosave point. However you may save the Game as well. If you haven’t got enough slots overwrite an older Savegame.
