Level 4:
THE VALE

Sublevel 5
MACHINERY GROUND

 

Your destination on the Map is set to Machinery Ground and as you can see, you are halfway on the path.


Your position on the Map

 

Walk on the protruding narrow beam and jump to the pole. Jump onward to the L-shaped narrow beam and turn to the wall where you see a sliding ring with a black blob on each side going up and down.


Jump from the protruding beam to the pole

 

Jump to the wall and wall run to the ring when both blobs are on their way like on the following first screenshot. Press red and continue wall running until you jump off and land with Elika’s help on a structure of narrow beams.


Wall running past a sliding ring and two blobs

 

Walk to the corner. There are two poles to jump to and then to a platform.


Jump from this corner past two poles


Reach the platform

 

There are two ways to follow from here: a left and a right path. Elika’s Flare indicates the left path. The path on your right is the Tunnel to Martyr’s Tower (Ruined Citadel).


Follow the left path

 

Jump past two poles to the next ledge.


Start jumping from here


Hanging from the second pole

 

From here you can see that the ledge is full of goo. But you can jump to the banister. Walk to the end and prepare a wall run to a ring.


Jump to the banister

 

Jump and wall run past the ring to the vines and shimmy to the right corner from where you prepare a wall run to a next platform.


Wall run to the vines and prepare a wall run to the platform

 

Wall run and jump off to the platform.


To the platform

 

Prince: Helllloooo!!! Anybody home?
Elika: Do you think it’s a good idea to let them know we’re coming?
Prince: The guys might be stupid enough to sell their souls, but even they should’ve figured out our plan by now.
Elika Shows the way out:


There’s the Power Plate there

 

Prince: Aren’t you at least a little bit curious about what these machines do?
Elika: They’re Ahriman’s work. I only wish we’d destroyed them while we could.

Wall run to the red Power Plate.


To the Plate

 

Take a ride. First you’ll smash on a side wall of the opposite platform. Grab the ring and press red to continue wall running to the second Plate.


Wall run to the second Plate past the ring

 

This Plate will launch you to a third Plate.


Up to the third Plate

 

The third Plate will throw you in the middle of a battle arena.


To the arena


See. It’s almost like he knew we were coming...

 

Alchemist: Like our destiny wasn’t entwined?

The Alchemist is tougher this time. He also changes color to blue and he is able to protrude black goo and throw the Prince into that slime all around the arena.
When The Alchemist gets fed up losing so much health he will inject some Corruption into the Prince and disappear.


The Alchemist protrudes Corruption and pushes the Prince into the goo


Don’t fight it, just welcome the void


The Corruption has entered the Prince’s body

 

Elika: The Corruption is inside you. I cannot heal it, only hold it back.
Prince: Great, so after all this I just get to join Ahriman’s happy club?
Elika: Only Ahriman can create a Corrupted.
Prince: Ha... so I just get to die!
Elika: The Fertile Ground. The healing might purge the Corruption if I can hold it back long enough for us to get there. We’d better hurry.


We’re going to wait for me to die...

 

...or you know... try something?

 

Jump to a lower ledge.


The lower ledge


Let’s get going

 

Elika: Can we not stand around?
Prince: It’s okay, I’m only using the pain for effect. I hear it’s a great way to get dates.
Elika: This isn’t going to be easy.
Prince: Dying’s easy, staying alive that’s the hard bit and I do like a challenge.
Elika: You can’t give up.
Prince: I’m not going to die just yet.
Elika: You’re not going to die. I won’t let you die.
Prince: That’s okay then. I’d planned to do so much... well, not really planned, I was sort of hoping to have the time to plan.
Elika: We haven’t got time to mess around.

Jump up to the wall with the ring and hang from a narrow beam.

Observe the wall on your right. A blob goes up and down before a sliding ring and a turning wheel.
Wall run when the black blob passes the ring going down and press red when reaching the ring. The sliding of the ring prevents the wheel from turning for a short while so you can wall run through a hole in the wheel and wall run further to the vines. Climb up.


Reaching the vines

 

Climb up via two rings to the higher vines and climb up to the upper right corner.

Up to the Fertile Ground

 

Prince: Time to see if the healing will work. It will work, right?
[NOTE: he means being healed from the Corruption inside his body]

Start the healing of the Fertile Ground by pressing yellow repeatedly and admire this fantastic process:


The healing of the Land!

 

Elika stands up. This time the Prince is exhausted and still in a state of Corruption. She touches him and her Magic Power is healing the Prince too.


Elika heals the Prince with a Magic Touch

 

Elika: It worked. The Corruption’s gone.
Prince: Good to hear the relief in your voice, here was me thinking it was a certainty. Seems we can change fate after all?
