Al-Balad Region Hidden Pyramid

Al-Balad Region

1 After entering the yellow flame room to teleport to Al-Balad, you'll end up at The Oasis. Leave the area and travel north to the Temple Palace for a cutscene.
2 Talk to the Queen
Enter the palace and head to the queen's chamber. Check out the treasure room behind her to retrieve a Mini Medal and some equipment from the chests.
▶ All Mini Medal Locations and Rewards
3 Talk to the Elder
Leave the Temple Palace and visit Al-Balad village, then speak to the elder inside his house. There's another Mini Medal there in a locked chest.
4 Proceed to the hut in the northeast corner of the village to talk to Sa'id, then speak to the man inside the large pot in the center. You'll end up back at the Oasis and will need to return to Al-Balad to speak to the elder again.
5 After the cutscenes, return to the Temple Palace and speak to the Queen. She'll direct you to Basement Level 2, where you can speak to the guards to unlock access to the shrine.
6 Defeat the 3 Monsters
When you descend into the shrine, you'll need to fight three monsters chasing the children around. They're not particularly strong, so you can defeat them with normal tactics.
7 For your trouble you'll receive the Royal Key. Speak to the queen about it, and you'll be allowed access to the Likeness of the Great Spirit.
8 Use the teleporter
Return to Al-Balad and use the teleporter inside the central pot to teleport directly to the Likeness of the Great Spirit. Enter the Likeness and speak to the spirit maiden there to be given access to the basement levels.
9 Examine the Floor Tiles
Examine the floor tiles for clues about the likenesses. Sa'id will take down notes so you can refer to them later to solve puzzles. Enter Basement level 1 and follow the short path to enter the Hidden Pyramid. Don't forget to open the chest for a Seed of Resilience.

Hidden Pyramid

1
The first main room of the Hidden Pyramid is a large puzzle. The map is divided into 20 rooms with six burning torches in the center.
2 You must extinguish the torches in all of the rooms. You can do so in any order. The room will get darker but you can navigate using the map. Once all torches are extinguished, you can obtain the Eye Stones from the center room. Make sure to open the chest in the northeast corner to get a Mini Medal.
▶ All Mini Medal Locations and Rewards
3
Enter Basement Level 2 via the ladder. The way to the Mouth Stone is blocked by a large stone face. Simply hide behind the barrier and don't move for a short while, and the face will lift up to allow you to claim the stone.
3
Jump down the hole to get to Basement Level 3. The Heart Stone is on the pedestal in easy reach. After getting it, enter your inventory and examine the Heart Stone again. Choose to split the stone to obtain Ear Stones. Check the southern door for a chest containing a Skeleton Swordsman Monster Heart.
5
Jump through the hole down to Basement Level 4. Before leaving the room, grab the treasure chests for a Shield of Shame and Divine Bustier.
When ready, step on the tiles north of the clue tile to fall down to where the Nose Stone is kept. Grab the stone and step on the circular panel to teleport back to Level 1.
6 Return to the Oasis and speak with the old man to trigger a cutscene and obtain the Amulet of Earth.
7 Use the Oasis Teleporter to return to the Shrine of Mysteries. From here you can enter the green flame room to awaken the Wind Spirit, if you haven't done so already. Otherwise, you can awaken the Water Spirit.
