| 3 | 00:59 | Jump off from the top the pillar and hug the left wall (right if facing the waterfall with the Stele message "The Necropolis"). Light the lanterns to reveal the cavern. |
| 4 | 01:51 | Keep going left, hugging the wall after the previous one. This time revealing a room with the lanterns inside. Activate that and head towards the left side of the mural to cleanse the area revealing a mural. Take note of the Stele message "The Blade" in the opposite corner, as well as a sneaky path. |

| 6 | 03:52 | Across from the main structure with the 2 chains, activate the lanterns to cleanse the area and reveal a skeleton |

Inside the building, activate 2 more switches. One switch up a ramp on the second floor, and the other accessible in a building by going through the rooftop and into an open window. After those are activated, head all the way down and cleanse this huge area revealing new paths as well as allowing you to grind through the chains. |
| 10 | 05:45 | Back to the structure with the 2 chains, follow along the left chain until you gain access to the building at the top. Go through the door, and go up a sea of jellyfish platforms. Bounce your way up, to see the water source activating the left chain. |
Orca Rider Trophy
Right after activating the left chain, you'll cleanse the area completely, encompassing it with water and fauna. In the middle of the room with the jellyfish platforms, you'll see several Orca Whales circling. Make use of the jellyfish and hop on the whale, revelling in the beauty of the sea!
