1. Continuing Forward Up The Slope - Tips

Recommended To Go Up The Stairs Towards Bridge

Despite having more enemies, this route will give you much more XP & Sen to use. You will also be able to get the Hidden Temple Key from Owl when following this path.

2. Proceeding Past The Bridge - Tips

Evade Enemies With Fire Arrows

This path will feature a lot of enemies wielding fire arrows. If you have Loaded Shuriken, you can use it to interrupt their attacks and evade them. You can also dodge their shots by running in a zigzag pattern.

You Can Ignore Enemies On This Bridge

Once on the bridge, you will find multiple enemies blocking your path. Since they move slowly, you can opt to just ignore them and push forward. Take into consideration that there may be enemies with fire arrows aiming at you from behind.

2. Entering The Building's Gate - Tips

Watch Out For Fire

Make sure not to get too close to the fire in the area. This will inflict you with a burn, and deal some damage over time. Try to avoid getting too close to the fires.

3. Talking To Owl - Tips

Owl Will Guide You To The Next Location

When you talk to Owl, he will give you a key and tell you of a much safer path to get to the Estate Mansion.

5~6. Heading To The Secret Path

Climb The Tree To The Left Of Owl

The tree can be found on the left side of the Owl. You can use it to get atop the tower, and traverse the cliff towards the alternate route. Use your Grappling Hook to get atop the tower.

First Grapple Location

There will be a roof which you can grapple to after getting to the top of the tower. Look down on the cliff to spot it.

Second Grapple Location

The second roof will be on the left side of the first roof you grappled to.

Third Grapple Location

The last roof will be on the right side of your current roof. Grapple to it, and you will find a ledge with a small house which you can grapple to.

Several Enemies In The Area

7. Climbing The Wall - Tips

Use Consecutive Wall Jumps

At the end of the cave, you will find yourself in a walled area. The only exit is found above. If you use Consecutive Wall Jumps by pressing the "Jump" button against the walls, you will be able to climb up and out of the cave.

8. Getting To The Sculptor's Idol - Tips

Oil Can Be Found Before The Idol

You will know you are on the right path if you pick up an "Oil" item right after exiting the cave. The Sculptor's Idol will just be past the building where you picked up the Oil.
