Question about the totem: When I go to an altar, I read it, and it gives me a little red effect, but for some reason I can't warp back to these things. If theres something else I need try to keep it as vague as possible, but if its just some menu button I dont know about, I wanna know because I cant see it in the warp screen

It'll be listed among the back fields. If you can't warp to the back fields you can't really utilize it

Ah okay thats lame that you can get it before you can use it. It really should have some sort of feedback in that regard.

I just got the gloves. But I have no freaking idea where to find A 'Spear' of some sort to press tablets down on the floor..

Any help would be appreciated.

The spear is in Immortal battlefield, pretty close to the start when you come from the rainbow bridge.

But you can also use caltrops for those little holes.


I'm just basically looking where I should be going next.

I beat 3 guardians, got 2 sigils now, got glove, claw and chain whip and the ankh jewel for frost area.

I guess I'm still looking for more mantras too? Although I can't remember seeing any other walls of text than the one I already picked up in Divine fortress (earth)

Cheers, I know where I'm going next.
For the Moon mantra, I already talked about it earlier in the thread:

Is it the left ladder in the icefire treetops? There are two ladders and I see a secret room I can't reach that requires going up the left one, but I don't know how to reach the left one.

E: NVM Got it

Solution for other people who didn't know break the wall into the left ladder area from the next room over

EE: and dead ended again. I think I'm being bottlenecked by the drat IB ankh room. I have a jewel and the Pochette key but I don't know how to get the actual ankh to show up so I can fight this jerk and get his reward.

EEE: actually just found something in IB that might be it. Posting in this thread in frustration then just doing it myself WORKS.

EEEE: maybe not, another step closer maybe but I still can't spawn that drat ankh.

Pretty sure you should have access to back warping by the time you get that item. If you want to know how: you need to purchase and load the Future Development Company app.

it should definitely be a thing you can get relatively early-ish on

vague hint to point you in the general direction of it: the item you need can be found in the first backside zone you'll probably run into

How do you spawn the ankh in IB? I have the item all the tablets tell me I need but I don't see a spot to use it or anything. If it's like La Mulana 1 the spot to use it will be obvious when I actually use the ankh jewel but I can't figure out how to make the durned thing show up. I feel like everything I'm looking at is being bottlenecked by either the item the IB boss has or something that depends on me having it.

You know where you found the moon mantra? Poke some of the statues in the room where you found the secret entrance to the moon mantra room
I don't know the hint for this one, I found it by complete accident.

Hmm yah, I'll be on the look out for tablets that mention that. I've been wondering how to get in that chest.

Oh maybe the tablet that tells you that you need the figurine shows people attacking the little lizard statue? it's a stretch

It was nuts. The name didn't even have time to pop up and for a second I felt joy, which is pretty much a warning system for La Mulana. If you're feeling happy, something bad is gonna happen.

The name of the room made me immediately think "yeah there's a good chance all that other poo poo in the room is 100% red herring" and found that the sigil that you need to trip is the Earth sigil so I'm guessing that's the "earth" they refer to, which sounds like just the kind of lame rear end thing the game will pull on you

This is one of the most obtuse puzzle so far for me, to be honest. I solved it almost by accident.

Hint 1: You might have read something about a secret gathering place for the Lokapala, and seen mysterious closed doors around

Hint 2: You need the figure of their god to enter said place

Hint 3: You need a Dinosaur Figure, have you seen something like that anywhere in the Immortal Battleground?

Hint 4: There's a suspicious lizardlike statue in a chest room in the lower right part of the area

Hint 5: Hit the statue through the wall (the rapier works) until it breaks to open the chest to get the Dinosaur Figure, you can now enter those doors

I'm gonna need a hint 6 with the actual room because nothing anywhere on the right side of this place fits that description.
