Uru: The Path of the Shell Hints

I'm not in Fourth Ahnonay! What did I do wrong?

  • 1 of 5: The order of your actions in this part are important.
  • 2 of 5: Before attempting to retry the sequence, you have to "initialize" the Ahnonay transformation system.  To do this, use the Linking Book on the pedistal and the Ahnonay Linking Chamber to go through the entire cycle.  That is, go to Second Ahnonay, Third Ahnonay, and back to First Ahnonay.  This may or may not be necessary in every case, but there's no harm in doing it -- better safe than sorry.
  • 3 of 5: Go to the tower.  Pull the transformation lever.
  • 4 of 5: Swim to the tunnel.  Once you get inside, you have to press the Shell Cloth FIRST.  DO NOT pull the lever before you touch the Shell Cloth!  Even if you've touched it before, touch it again, right now!
  • 5 of 5: Now, pull the lever by the large door.  Link to Relto and back to Ahnonay via the Shell Cloth you just touched.  You should be in Fourth Ahnonay.
