Chapter 5: Desolation It Wrought

1. Row as one: the coloured door

  Puzzle The door with three gems

  Climb a ledge and jump a gap; before going through the broken door, a Resonance Point is on its left. Squeeze through into the room and walk round it for another, by a pot. Interact with the receptacle in the middle: the sphere is upgraded to three beams. Stand on the lit floor pad on the right, raise the sphere, aim the green beam at the small green receptor on the door, then rotate the red and blue beams onto the other receptors around it. Move a little if they will not line up.

2. Battle grounds

  The zipline and the first camp

  After the cutscene, turn left for a Resonance Point by the door. Take either set of steps, crawl under the rubble and zipline down; on the stairs, a Resonance Point is on the right before you drop to the soldiers. The fight is worth one more. Pull down the barricade on the left, but do not climb the ledge ahead: go right into the bottom floor of the house, under the wooden beam, for a Resonance Point by a tent.

• 2

  The abandoned enemy camp

  Leave by the open side door into a camp with tents. Climb the rocks on the left for a chest at the upper tent with Trinket #2; opening it brings a group of enemies, worth 2 Resonance Points. Another Resonance Point is in the right corner in front of the red tent. Go up the steps, beat the archer, turn left and round the corner into the ruins for Seal #2.

  The spike pit and the beach camp

  Go back to where the archer was and into the ruins on the left, with more enemies and a spike pit. Shimmy across the wooden boards in the corner for the Griffin Figurine. Shimmy back and go straight to a tree overlooking the beach for a Resonance Point. Crouch through the tunnel by the smaller tree to its left and keep straight on, ignoring the big door to your right for now; break the barrels by the ladder for a hidden Resonance Point. Go down the ladder, beat the camp, and find Dante's Inferno, Canto XII between the two white tents at the back, near the water.

  Into the central temple

  Climb back up and go through the big green door in the middle. Leni is attacked as you squeeze in; deal with the attacker, check on her and use the receptacle. Four doors open and four receptacles rise.

3. The room of four symbols

Sub-chapter 3, The four symbols · 1 Resonance Point here

Each door has a symbol above it. The back-left one (an axe) is a dead end: turn left from the receptacle and take the Resonance Point on its floor. The other three are trials. Do them in this order: front left (a dice or square-like symbol), front right (an O with three lines), back right (an O over a line, or a circle resting on a rectangle). After each, come back and set the receptacle in front of that door to the symbol you found inside.

The sources describe the symbols you bring back differently. PowerPyx: an inverted P for the first door, an h for the second, an O for the third. GameSpew: a backwards P, an M with a handle, and a 0 with four lines coming out of it. Use whatever the receptacle in the trial showed you.

4. First trial: the floor symbols (front left door)

  Separated from Leni

  Go down the steps, jump the gaps on the walkway and open the door with Leni. When she is cut off, jump down the platforms the other way, over the spike trap. At the bottom, turn left at once and climb a ruin to a chest with Bracelet #3. Head back and over the gaps to the walkway where you meet Leni again. Before squeezing through on the left, go back along her path: Resonance Points are on the first small platform on the left. The sources disagree on how many: PowerPyx lists 2 there, EliteGuias found 1. Then squeeze through the broken gate, go up the steps and beat the soldiers for one more.

  Puzzle The jumping platforms

  The five symbols on the floor in front of the middle platform give the safe order: Dots, Kraken, Dots, Flower, Kraken, repeating. A wrong platform kills you. Number the four columns 1 to 4 from left to right. For the collectibles, jump: Dots (2), Kraken (3), Dots (3), Flower (2), Kraken (2), Dots (2), then Kraken (1) with a jump to the left. Climb the rocks on the left and shimmy over the gap for the Scarab Amulet in the back-left corner. From there: Dots (1), Flower (2), Kraken (3), Dots (3), back to Kraken (3), forward to Dots (3), then right to Flower (3) for 2 Resonance Points. The sources disagree on these two: PowerPyx lists them on that platform, while EliteGuias reached it and found none. Jump the last gap to the end and turn left for one more in the corner.

  If you only want to get across: Dots (2), Kraken (3), Dots (3), Flower (2), Kraken (2), Dots (2), Kraken (3) to the right, Dots (2) back, Flower (2) forward, a diagonal running jump to Kraken (3), then Dots (3) forward. That route skips the Artefact and the Resonance Points.

  The symbol and the beach

  Take the symbol from the receptacle, zipline down and beat the soldiers; kick shielded enemies to open them up. A Resonance Point is on the left edge of the beach, and Armband #3 near the water and a boat in the right corner. Go up the steps and through the door back into the central room, and set the receptacle in front of the door you just used.

5. Second trial: the Greek Sword and the statue doors (front right door)

  The cliff path and the altar

  Cross the bridge and keep to the leftmost path; over a rock, a Resonance Point is by a big puddle. Follow the cliff, climb the ladder, beat the soldiers at the top and interact with the axe on the altar for Pierced Coin #1. Go down, drop to the next group and beat them.

  Puzzle The bull pillar and the Greek Sword

  Do not go up to the big green door yet. Take the opposite path to a camp with a bull pillar. Interact with the wooden box with a white mark for a conversation, then take the Resonance Point on the ledge under the carved bull's head. Facing the tents, climb the rocks on the left onto the ruins: a Resonance Point is in a bird's nest on the left. On top are four greenish floor plates. Stand on the one nearest the nest, at the end of the left pillar, raise the sphere, put the green beam on the gem on the bull's face and match the red and blue to their gems. The axe symbol on the camp floor opens onto a crypt; the big chest in it holds the Greek Sword.

  The relics around the pillar

  Out of the crypt, take the path to the right of the pillar for the Condottiero Stamp on a rock just before a gap, then jump the gap for a Resonance Point left of the zipline. Back at the pillar, take the path to its left through the camp, jump the gap at a small waterfall and go right down to the water for the Ceremonial Blade. Jump the gap to its left to reach the bridge to the third trial: 2 Resonance Points are on the cliff left of the bridge. Climb the ladder right of the big green door there and grapple up; one more is on the cliff to your right. Do not crawl through the hole yet: that starts the third trial.

  Puzzle The three statue doors

  Go all the way back to the green door near the bull pillar, where you fought last. A Resonance Point is on the floor behind a wooden barrel in front of it, easy to miss. Crawl through the hole into the trial.

  First door: stand in the light from the ceiling and match the beams to the gems round the door: red on the left statue's helmet, green in the middle, blue on the right statue's hand. Run and jump over the spike trap, then shine the reflector at the black growths blocking the steps. Second door: from the next lit plate, green at the top, blue at the bottom, red on the right statue's eye. Time the jumps over the spikes; a Resonance Point is in the left corner of the next room. Third door: use the reflector on the growths at the front right to uncover a crank; when you let it go it springs back, so Leni holds it. Jump onto the raised platform and line the beams up on the right wall, run-jump the spikes and line them up again from the light on the opposite wall. Jump the next platforms; Leni shines the reflector at you, so switch the sphere to its light with the d-pad to see the safe path through the spikes as a blue line. From the last plate, put all three beams on the rightmost receptors below the door. Go up the steps and take the symbol.

  Back to the central room

  Zipline down, open the large door and set the receptacle in front of the second door to the new symbol.

6. Third trial: the mirror room (back right door)

  Into the trial

  If you followed the order above, everything on the way is already yours. Cross the bridge, climb the ladder right of the heavy door, grapple up and crawl through the hole. As you enter, a Resonance Point is on the right before you drop down to the mirrors. Use the receptacle on the left to open the door for Leni, then grapple down.

• 2

  Puzzle The coloured mirrors

  Bring each colour to its dot on the central pillar. First clear as many growths and petrified bodies as you can with the reflector that casts blue; one of the growths hides another mirror. Red: to the rightmost mirror, then to the right side of the pillar. Green: to the back-right mirror, then to the back of the pillar. Blue: to the left mirror, then the mirror at the back on the lower level, then the mirror between those two, then the left side of the pillar. The pillar lowers; use the pedestal for the symbol.

  Live up to his name

  Leave through the door you could not open before, crouching under rubble, and beat the guards outside. Back in the central room, set the last receptacle. A scene follows and you play as Theseus again: fight down the steps, into an arena, through the other warriors and finally Cadmos, then use the receptacle. Nothing to collect in this last part.
