Speak to Kaheva in Her Forge
Head to Kaheva's Forge in the Lower City, which you can access during the Lost in Mount Qaf story quest and speak to the blacksmith.
After some quick introductions and checking her wares, interact with her and choose the Ancient Power Unearthed dialogue option to start the quest.
Location of the Ore is Marked on the Map
Kaheva will ask you to retrieve an ancient ore that she can use to forge an item of great power. Your map will automatically open and mark the location of the ore located in the western side of the Lower City.
Head to the Western Side of the Lower City
| Map Location | Overworld Location |
|---|---|
 |
 |
Make your way to the western side of the Lower City where you'll find a small alcove where you can drop down a hidden area.
Activate the Platform
Make your way left until you reach a moving platform that you can use to descend further.
Move to the railing to the right of the platform and use your Bow and Chakram to shoot the switch to activate the platform to descend further.
Jump Over the Spike Trap
Head left until you reach a pit of spikes with another moving platform and switch. Step on the platform and use your Bow and Chakram to activate the platform which will move you right next to the rotating spike trap.
Wait for the switch to deactivate and then jump over the spike trap as soon as your chakram returns to reach the other side.
Wall Jump to the Next Area
Head left to a wall of spikes with another moving platform and switch. Use your Bow and Chakram to activate the switch, which will cause the platform to descend and give you a safe spot to wall jump to the right side.
The switch deactivates fast so you'll have plenty of time to wall jump back to the platform as soon as it retracts, allowing you to reach the top section safely.
Open the Treasure Chest and Survive the Traps
Head right to the next room and open the treasure chest which contains the ore that Kaheva needs. Unfortunately, this activates a gauntlet of spike traps that you'll need to survive!
- Jump Over the First Spike Trap
- Evade the Second Spike Trap
- Wall Jump to Avoid the Third Spike Trap
- Jump Over the Three Spike Traps
- Slide to Avoid the Rotating Spike Trap
- Survive the Last Spike Trap
- Retrieve the Ore from the Chest
Jump Over the First Spike Trap
As soon as the walls move back, get ready and jump over the first spike trap which will appear from the right side of the room.
Evade the Second Spike Trap
As soon as you jump over the first spike trap, stay on the right side of the room and wait for the next set of traps.
Wait for the spike trap on the ceiling to pass by, then quickly jump over the spike trap emerging from the left side of the room.
Wall Jump to Avoid the Third Spike Trap
Quickly make your way to the left side of the room, giving yourself enough space to wall jump, and then wait for the two spike traps stacked on top of one another to emerge from the right side of the room.
As soon as the spike traps almost reach you, wall jump on the left wall to jump over the two spike traps.
Jump Over the Three Spike Traps
Head to the center of the room and jump over the three spike traps that will emerge from the left side of the room.
The spikes will emerge one after another, so make sure you quickly ready your jump as soon as you land after evading the previous spike trap!
Slide to Avoid the Rotating Spike Trap
A rotating spike trap will emerge from the left side of the room. The trap is initially positioned close to the ceiling, but will rotate downwards in an attempt to hit you.
As soon as you see the spike trap about to rotate, quickly dash and slide to the left side of the room to evade the trap!
Survive the Last Spike Trap
| Trap 1 Solution | Trap 2 Solution |
|---|---|
 |
 |
Quickly make your way to the center of the room for the last spike trap. Three spike traps will emerge, two close to the floor from both sides of the room and one rotating trap on the right side which will rest in the middle of the room.
As soon as the spike traps emerge, quickly jump over the left spike trap and position yourself on the left side of the room so you have enough space to wall jump.
The floor traps will then return to the wall while the rotating spike trap will make its way to the left side of the room. As soon as you see the left spike trap retract, wall jump on the left wall to evade the trap and delay your descent to avoid the rotating spike trap.
Note: You can delay your descent from a wall jump by moving to the opposite side of where Sargon will normally jump. Since Sargon is jumping to the right side, pressing left and force him to fall straight down to avoid the rotating spike trap.
Retrieve the Ore from the Chest
With all traps overcome, the chest will once again appear in the center of the room. Open the chest to retrieve the Raw Ore that Kaheva needs.
Return to Ore to Kaheva
Make your way back to Kaheva's Forge and give her the Raw Ore which she'll use to fashion the Shield of Mithra Amulet.
Equipping this amulet creates a small time bubble that slows down enemies within it after executing a successful parry!
