The Garden Maze

Note In The Skip The Second Moonstone & Cutscene Sorry :(

The little area beyond here is a bit of a respite; no enemies to speak of save birds. The first flock you come across will be unkillable, for the most part, but the birds in the fountain are good for target practice, and they'll also drop a little cash if you hit them. Grab that and the jewels from the fountain, then head out to the garden maze.

The maze isn't too mazerrific, but this map might still help you find the moonstones.

Although Salazar will complain that even he gets lost in the maze, despite his prodigious intellect, he's probably functionally retarded, because it's not too difficult to find your way around. What is difficult is avoiding damage from the devil dogs in the maze; these guys will jump on you and try to rip out your throat if you get too close, and the tentacled ones will be able to whip you from a distance. Your pistol isn't going to do the job here, so keep either your TMP or shotgun by your side as you maneuver through the maze. Even if you think you're safe, you aren't: the doggies can actually jump through the hedges, which is an unpleasant surprise the first time it happens to you, so you'll need to keep an ear out for any sudden sounds from behind you. If someone does pop in at your rear, it's best to try and run and turn a couple of corners before doing a quick turn and popping them a good one.

You'll need to find two halves of a moonstone here; each of them is lying next to one of the ornate fountains. Be careful when you pick them up, though, as that usually triggers an influx of dogs, as does picking up most of the other loot in the area, for that matter. The worst trigger is for the moonstone half in the northeastern corner of the garden, which will be followed by no fewer than four dogs.

After you have both moonstone halves, combine them to make the Blue Moonstone, which will unlock the door you passed by earlier. You'll meet up with Ada here, perhaps for the second time if you witnessed an earlier cutscene with her and the Chief way back at the beginning of chapter 1-3.
