Uru: The Path of the Shell Hints

I got to the tunnel behind the distant island. Now what?

  • 1 of 12: Climb out of the water and explore the area.  Is there anything of interest here?
  • 2 of 12: There's a Shell Cloth on the dock opposite the side you climbed out of the water.  Touch it.
  • 3 of 12: There's also a lever.
  • 4 of 12: Pull the lever.
  • 5 of 12: You should hear a loud rumbling noise.  Sound familiar?
  • 6 of 12: It appears Ahnonay is prepared to change again.  You just have to trigger it.
  • 7 of 12: Link out of Ahnonay back to your Relto, then back to Ahnonay via the Shell Cloth.
  • 8 of 12: You'll appear in an altered version of the area you were just in.  This is Fourth Ahnonay.  Take a look around.
  • 9 of 12: Again, the lever is there by the door.
  • 10 of 12: Pull it and wait for it to finish.  The door will open.
  • 11 of 12: Explore the new area.  Notice the ladder at the side of the path.
  • 12 of 12: Down the ladder, by the Shell Cloth, there's a chair.  Have a seat and away you go.
