Chapter 2

Chapter 2-1

All you can do after waking up from your "dream" is head out of the cabin (after checking for items, natch), and enter the nearby zone. You can't cross back across the lake, but hey - would you even want to?

Acne is a serious problem for the ganados.

After entering the dam area, you'll run up against one of your first new enemies; they appear to be normal zombie villagers, but can spontaneously explode their heads off to reveal a multi-tentacled extra appendage that'll slash at you from a fairly good distance away. Shotgunning these guys is the best way to deal with them, as you can likely kill them in as few as two shots. Whatever weapon you want to use, you'll have to stay well away from them if you want to avoid taking damage. Note that the second guy you see, although apparently normal, can also sprout a tentacle if you blast his head off.

After moving down to the dam, you'll have to shoot down three suspended crates in order to make a passable path to the lever that'll shut down the flow of water. You can also find an Amber Ring on a rafter near the waterfall, and a Spinel. The Spinel is tough to track down; you'll have to be standing on one of the elevated platforms and look back towards where you climbed the rope down to spot it. It'll be tough to hit without a rifle.

When you have your little crate bridge made, climb the far tower and pull the lever there to reveal a cavern behind the waterfall. After moving towards it, though, more ganados will spawn in. It's best to backtrack towards the lever-tower before taking them on; you can shoot them as they jump across the crates, if you wish, but it's better to wait until they're on the same little spit of land as you are, as this'll let you pick up any items that they drop after they die. If you shoot them on the crates, they're likely to fall into the water.

Head into the cave to grab the Round Insignia. The path beyond will lead you back to the merchant in the cavern before the lake, so save your game and upgrade your weapons before heading back to the church. Or, at least, part of the way back to the church; you're going to have another boss fight before you can get there.
