Part 2: Mangrove Swamp & Tomb of the Nameless

Step 1: Navigating the Sunken Mangrove Canals

Sprint across the elevated timber walkways to avoid the poison swamp water. When encountering Swamp Lurkers erupting from the bog, tap dodge backward, parry their leaping jaw snap, and retaliate with an aerial juggle chain.

MISSABLEAncient Jade Dragon Pendant: On the third submerged barge on the western waterway, grapple up to the rusted crane arm. Inside an iron lockbox lies the Ancient Jade Dragon Pendant (Grants a permanent +10% Jing currency gain from all defeated enemies). This chest becomes inaccessible once the swamp floods in Part 3.

Step 2: Unlocking the Spectral Bow & Crypt Entrance

Defeat the elite Dart Stalker perched atop the central shrine gate to collect the Spectral Bow. Charge Qi by holding the heavy attack button and release a pinpoint headshot to sever the winch ropes suspending the stone crypt entrance slab.

Step 3: Solving the Three-Dragon Subterranean Gear Puzzle

Inside the Tomb of the Nameless, you will confront the Three-Dragon Gear mechanism. Three massive dragon stone heads spit blue flames across the burial chamber floor:

• Step on the Left Sunken Pressure Plate until the Dragon Head faces North.
• Fire a Spectral Arrow into the Center Ceiling Crystal to lock the middle gear.
• Rotate the Right Lever twice clockwise until the dragon jaw clicks open.

The blue flames will extinguish, lowering the iron bridge and rewarding you with Heart Elixir Flask Capacity +1 (bringing your maximum heal charges to 4).

Step 4: Boss Duel — Commander Cleaver

Cross into the burial sanctum where Commander Cleaver, towering in blood-stained armor with twin serrated meat cleavers, awaits to crush Soul.

Boss Profile: Heavy-hitting armored brute with high posture poise and unblockable charges.

• Phase 1: Cleaver attacks in sets of two horizontal cleaver chops followed by a vertical downward ground crack. Block the first two chops, then dodge roll right on the vertical crack to punish his exposed back with heavy combos.
• Red Flash Rampage Charge: When Cleaver bellows and charges across the arena, do NOT parry. Wait until he is 3 meters away, then double-tap dodge forward-left with Phantom Step to pass through him. He will crash into the stone pillars, stunning himself for 4 seconds.
• Phase 2 (Cleaver Throw): At 50% HP, he hurls one cleaver like a boomerang. Deflect the spinning blade with your Qi parry right as it reaches Soul—this sends the weapon flying back into Cleaver's chest, shattering 50% of his posture bar instantly.
