Continue on the Right Path to Obtain Rush of the Simurgh

Head West to Join Forces with Vahram

Return to the area with the giant statue then take the middle door to the left. With Rush of the Simurgh, you'll now be able to jump through the spike traps. Continue heading west down this path

Watch Out for the Retracting Platforms

Over the course of this path, there will be platforms that retract themselves on areas with spikes. Be sure to time your jumps to land on these platforms safely.

You Can Pick Up Missive 1 Right at the Area with the Poles

After passing through the spike area, you'll reach an area where you have to use the poles to jump upward. Before doing so, you can interact with an item on the left side of the area to obtain Missive 1.

Keep Heading North Until You meet Anahita

After passing through the area with the poles, you'll find Anahita with the abducted prince. After a short dialogue, defeat the enemies that appear then head left. Successfully defeating all enemies rewards you with the Blade Dancer Amulet.

Go Through the Sacred Archives to reach the Upper Citadel

After reuniting and joining Vahram, continue heading left to reach the Sacred Archives. Continue heading left and upward.

Rebuild the Homa Statue Up North

After you pass through the alchemists and continue going upward, be sure to rebuild the homa statue as this can function as your teleportation station to navigate the map much easier!

From the Homa Statue, Head East then North

After unlocking the said Homa Statue, you'll want to focus on heading East and then passing through the enemies and hurdles. The path will be linear until you reach a lift. Use it to reach the northern part of the Sacred Archives.

After You Reach the Areas with The bells, Shoot them to Unlock Pathways

After using the lift, head west then upward until you see areas with bells and semi-transparent platforms. Shoot the bells to make the transparent platforms solid and use them to traverse the puzzle.

Continue Following the Path Until you Reach the Upper City West

Along the way, you'll encounter a Wak-wak Tree and a few more platforms that require bells to solidify the platforms. Continue following the linear path until you reach Upper City West.

Explore the Upper Citadel to find Anahita

Reaching the Upper City West means you've finally cleared the Sacred Archives. Continue exploring the area to find the abducted prince.

Continue Heading East After Reaching the Upper West City

You'll encounter some enemies like harpies and the usual enemies. You can defeat them or just run through until you reach the next room on the right.

Use the Rotating Platforms to Head Upward

After entering the room on the right side, you'll encounter a rotating device with platforms attached to them. Use it to reach the upper area then head left.

Pass through the Areas with Rotating Gears

Once you enter to the right side, you'll immediately encounter a room with several rotating gears. Use the poles to navigate this puzzle and eventually reach the next room in the upper area once again.

Shoot the White Gear In Between the Gryphon Statues

You'll encounter two gyphon statues with a pole attached to them. Shoot the white gear in their center to make them move sideways then use the pole to jump higher.

In this area, you'll want to use the right pole first then unlock the platform that goes down just above the white gear. Once done, use the left pole to lower the 2nd platform then traverse the puzzle again using the shortcut to get to the 2nd platform on time.

After Clearing the Puzzle Use the Wak-Wak Tree then Head left

Jump up the platform above then head right to use the checkpoint then head left to further explore the Upper City. Continue through until you encounter multiple assassins. Defeat them then use the lift to reach the upper area then continue heading right to reach your next destination.

Neutralize Vahram

After the events of the cutscene, you'll be put down in a battle against Vahram. Defeat Vahram to complete the current chapter!
