In my previous post, I shared how I entered the mountain temple and how risky the journey was. The main attraction of the post was my battle against those monsters from the temple. I still don't know what they truly are. After killing them, I reached the next step by opening a secret water gate. And the new story begins from there.

After reaching the new place, I had to pass through many hard places such as traps and narrow tunnels filled with spikes and booby traps.

At the end of the tunnel, I also had to fight some enemies. And I was quite shocked the first time as this monster suddenly jumped from above.

After I passed those enemies and climbed down using the climbing rope that I had, I found this huge gate, and the box might be hidden here. Now, I need to solve a puzzle to open it.

It seemed like the gate doors were connected to a huge water wheel using thick ropes, and I think it's that wheel that opens the gate, and I need to activate it. But just to reach the controlling area, I had to fight a few more monsters and pass through some more challenges.

Lemme give you a summary of the puzzle: the dragon mouth you see at the top is the source, and I need to use the rest of the two to make sure that the water drops in the wheel. But the issue was that the top and main one was stock, and it was barred by wood, and my rope arrow was not able to reach there. And the whole time, just to figure out how to get on the top to unlock it. I'm skipping the process as it may seem boring in writing, and I suggest you watch the gameplay.

Even after solving the main issues and challenges, I had a hard time to rotate the ladders and the dragon heads the right way and complete the puzzle.

After all the process was done I was able to direct the water on the wheel and it started to move. The ropes got pulled and the gate started to open.

Even before the gate could fully open a team of the monsters game and they looked like stronger and different from the usual enemies I fought before. Guess they were the guards of the gate. The most annoying thing was that they were shooting poison arrows at me from distance and I had to hide behind the rope wheel as cover.

It was hard but I managed to kill them all. But, it still took me two trials, I got killed by them the first time. And it was taking more bullets to kill them even with headshots.

After killing them all, now it was time to enter through the gate. But I was so tired from solving that complicated ouzzle that I decided to quit for the day and I'll continue the journey on my next post.

I uploaded the video in my youtube channel and sharing it below from there.
