Swordsmith Ruins Dungeon Walkthrough
1	Upon entering the ruins, head straight ahead. A nearby statue will initiate a conversation with Nikki, asking for help at the end of the ruins.
2	Move to the next room on the left. Use Nikki's Starlet Burst outfit to shrink and take control of Momo. Traverse the area, using air vents for Momo's flotation, until reaching the Ventilation Tunnel checkpoint.
3	Enter the Ventilation Tunnel, navigating the tunnels while avoiding wind gusts from fans, as they can push Momo into nearby water. Timing is crucial here so wait for the fans to stop before proceeding.
4	After exiting the area, transform back into Nikki. Perform a Plunging Attack on the wooden floor to reveal a hidden passage leading to the Forge Tower.
5	In the Forge Tower, shrink into Momo and jump onto the two air vents on the left to begin your ascent. Be sure to wait until the air wave reaches its peak before moving to the next vent. Jumping too early can cause you to miss the path and fall, requiring you to restart the climb. Once you reach the top of these vents, ride the horizontal air vent to a platform nearby, allowing it to carry Momo safely.
6	After reaching the platform, jump onto the air vent to the side and float to its peak. From there, aim to land on the horizontal air vent nearby, which will push Momo toward another vertical air vent. Follow the air currents as they guide you in whichever direction. The path may appear confusing at first, but it is completely linear, simply follow the direction of the air to progress.
7	Ride the air vent adjacent to the one you’re currently on, using Momo's double jump ability to ensure a safe landing. Let the horizontal air vents carry you into another vertical vent, which will guide you to the last upward vent until you land on to the next area.
8	At the top, reach the Sword Sanctuary checkpoint. Transform back into Nikki and meet the Sacred Knight, Heurta, who is trapped by vines. A cutscene will trigger, followed by a battle with Trick-o-Bag Esselings. ▶ Combat Guide: How to Fight
9	After defeating and purifying all enemies, another cutscene will play where Heurta is freed. You will automatically exit the ruins after this.
