Chapter 9: The Fuchin Temple

Once you've entered the new place you'll see that instead of a temple of sorts there is a mountain as well a waterfall in front of you! The temple's standing on a hill. You can reach it by going up the very long stairs before you. Now enter the temple ahead of you! But before you can also pick up the one Psynergy Stone next to the building if you're PP are at a low currently.

Inside you can watch how Master Nyunpa's practicing his meditation... and he won't let himself be disturbed by you at that. But once you start reading his mind – he'll start to notice your presence! He's absolutely excited about you, since you were able to talk to his mind. He asks you, i.e. Ivan, whether you really were it.

Anyway, Master Nyunpa will tell you that you'll habe to pass through the Mogall Forest on your journey. That place is said to be so labyrinthine that he'll first have to show you how one can go through it. But before that you'll have to master his test in the waterfall grotto. Telepathically he'll then tell one of his students you have permission to enter! He now hopes you'll be successful, and you come together again.

By the way, in the right pot behind him you can find a Unicorn Ring! This one can save you many an antidote. Leave the temple now and go downstairs again towards the flatland. West of the entrance you can see a waterfall, and now you'll be let in, just as Nyunpa had ordered. Plunge into the grotto...!

Right at the entrance you'll see a long stone tablet in front of you. Read it. "The dragon's flame illuminates the path of truth in darkness." Oookay. A hint for later, so better keep it in mind! Before you there are two wooden planks swimming in the water. Take the right one first to swim to a chest. It'd be wise to save now, as – this chest's a disguised Mimic! Although it's not all too difficult to beat and leaves behind a Game Ticket. With it in your inventory you can now balance back again and take the left plank. That one will lead you to a path which you should follow now...

In the next room there's actually only water before you, but you can jump onto the little wooden poles standing before you here. So simply cut your way here. At the end there are no less than three further passages before you: one to the left, one to the right oone in the middle in directly in front of you. But we only need the left path for now, so take this one and go upstairs at the end.

The next room consists of different levels, depending on where you've entered, but ignore them for the time being. Just follow the room to its end and take the following passage. Now you should be standing in a completely darkened section of the grotto. You'll illuminate it at a later point, but for now take the stairs leading down in the west.

Now you'll stand before a water pool and a few wooden planks again. Go to the bottom, vertically lying one first and get yourself to the other waterside. Follow the short path towards a chest. You'll receive an Arctic Blade, your mightiest weapon so far! As such Isaac should ideally wield it. Now go back again and take the upper wooden plank. As you've reached the other side continue into the following room. In it you'll find countless spikes lying on the ground on some spots of it! Try to avoid them. The next passage is in the east. Be either a masochist and take the shortcut over the spikes or use the wooden plank a little further in the room to come to it. You'll surely remember the following room. It's the grotto's entrance again! But this time you can use a third wooden plank, do so and proceed once you've reached the other side of the water.

In the following section you can immediately see the next passage in the north. There are spikes before it, but nothing that would really be an obstacle for you. But before you proceed first take a look at the southern part of the grotto. You'll see another Jupiter Djinni here! First balance with the wooden plank before you to the other side. From here on then onto the other, left plank and roll along with it towards the wall. Step on solid ground again and roll back with the first plank. Now you can jump on the little wooden pole from where you stand and afterwards to the plank just moved to the wall! Balance with it to the djinni. Be careful, it will want to fight against you! One you got it, take the wooden plank in the very south and use it to come to the next passage.

The next section can lead you to many places in this grotto now. If you take the plank and the passage directly before you, then you'll come back to the room after the entrance. But as you don't want that for the time being, avoid it. Instead run through the room to its end and go upstairs. Here go through as well. Now you're back in the darkened room from before! Go to the dragon statue and examine it. Its eyes are missing! So now it's up to you to find them. But don't worry, you've already seen where they're hidden, it's in the one room you've just been in, in a side area. In about the center of the room you'll see a small lake with two wooden planks floating right next to each other. Balance with the upper one to the other side. Now take the vertical plank at the right shore and roll with it to the wall. Jump to the first plank now and go around the lake again. Take the remaining wooden plank, now you can reach the side corridor!

And already directly in front of you there's the gemstone, the Dragon's Eye! With it now go back to the 'blind' dragon statue. Stand before it and place the dragon's eyes into it. The dragon will then start to spit fire, and lo and behold – an invisible bridge will turn visible through its shadow! It starts on the other side, though. So now use Isaac's Retreat or use the one passage mentioned above to get to the room right after the entrance. From here on follow the way as you've done before and you'll soon be in the room again.

Finally arrived here you can now clearly make out via the shadow how the way from your hill towards the other passage goes. But don't forget that it's only a shaw you see here! The actual invisible path is slightly higher on the screen than the shadow, it starts at the cliff, obviously. ;-) A long passage awaits you thereafter, you should simply follow it. Soon you'll slide down a wall, and at the center of the construction here there's another room. In it you can find a chest that contains the Orb of Force! A seemingly ancient stone tablet next to it reads "The secret of Ki shall be revealed to the disciples of truth." So the grotto's secret is this ball! You should now leave the cave to let Master Nyumpa know of your success. Therefore return to the exit by feet or – for the impatient and more relaxed amongst us – be carried back to it by using Retreat.

Back to the grotto's entrance your return will be awaited in awe! Seems as though it wasn't expected that you'll have that much success! Run atop the hill again and visit Master Nyunpa in his temple.

One can see that Master Nyunpa is really pleased about your success! He tells you that this power's called Ki or also "Force", although it is a spiritual power. He decides to let you in on the power and how to use it.

He tells you that you can use the new power for passing through the Mogall Forest (the new evil forest Laurel talked about). For that you shouldn't fight the animals in the forest, but instead scare them up with Force and follow them! For they're creatures of the forest and thus don't get lost there. Well, that's all already! He's shared his wisdom with you and feels relieved to have done so, he'll now go back to rest again.

With this new power you're now well-prepared to tackle the upcoming Mogall Forest! Snatch the Psynergy Stone near Nyunpa's temple at last and leave this place, now knowing its secret!
