In this next room, one Monk patrols the nearby wall while three other Monks pray in front of the mummified remains of a Temple Priest. Be sure to also get the Ako’s Sugar in here, then head down the stairs. In the darkened room here are some giant dusty statues and lots of Crickets - but most of them shouldn’t actually attack you, but they do offer free XP. Instead, look up to grapple to a beam and find an open area to jump up and climb into. As for all the monks - there’s plenty of places to hide, so make your moves carefully to try and isolate the groups where possible.Īs you reach the underside of the first temple building where two Monks stand guard, you’ll find no entrance - but a Fistful of Ash. On the ledge above you can find some Spirit Emblems, and a branch above you can grapple to where a Heavy Coin Purse is. Be sure to also look back at the small gate to find a nest on the roof you can jump to and find a Light Coin Purse. Defeat the first group (and make sure to utilize Bloodsmoke Ninjistu to help take on groups) then look where the lower group was gathered to find some bound corpses holding a Mibu Possession Balloon. Take him out, and watch out for three monks slowly going up the road, followed by three more in a rocky outcropping to the left. Many of their sweeping hits will cause them to prepare an unblockable thrust attack where they try to fake you out by twirling to the side before thrusting forward - so be ready with a Mikiri Counter. The staff-wielding Monks have their own set of attacks, which revolve around sweeping long-range hits as they dart from side to side, or even use their staff as a pole vault to get into the air and slam down. Note that you can also use the tree branches above, or bushes on the right to advance to a small gate, where a staff-wielding monk watches the road. Thankfully, without weapons they tend to have low posture, and it will only take a few well timed deflections to set them up for a Deathblow. Watch their movements carefully - if they shift into a crouching stance, they’ll be getting ready for an unblockable grab attack that can deal major damage. They employ several spinning kicks that can end in a jumping axe kick if you aren’t careful, as well as several palm strikes that can end with a quick follow-up attack. Now move back to the main path leading up to the temples - it’s time to get to fighting! On the path above are two monks - don’t be fooled by the lack of weapons, the martial arts they use can pack a punch. Since you can’t help him now, it’s best to remember his location and keep moving up the path to the side of the lift house where you can find some Scrap Iron. If you try and ask him, he seems a bit simple-minded or confused, but thinks he’s looking for spinning flowers - a white flower in particular.
