Caves
Continue from the boat, through the small cabin and into the cave. Follow it until you reach an open area, move forward a little to encounter a group of spiders, these little things are small but annoying. They will jump on you and do major damage, so it is essential to down them quickly. They are very sensitive to light, so if you have a spare flash grenade, using this near them is a sure fire way to eliminate a large group of these pests in a short time. Head pas the ladder and into another small cave in the wall beyond it. Climb up on the ledge to the left and open the chest for treasure [Topaz (Trilliant)]. Turn around and shoot the sparkling object on the roof, jump down to pick up treasure [Sapphire (Pear)]. Exit the area and go back to the ladder. As you do another group of spider enemies will attack you, deal with them and head up the ladder. At the top one more spider will be waiting for you.
Continue forward along the rock bridge here until you reach the second skeleton. At this point turn to the right and look for a small waterfall, just above it you will see [BSAA Emblem 1]. Make your way through the tunnel, fighting off the waves of spiders that will try to stop you until you reach a locked door. Look on the ground for a pair of skulls. Shoot both of them for treasures [Ruby (Pear)] and [Sapphire (Pear)], then shoot the burning torch in the corner for treasure [Topaz (Pear)]. Enter the door.
Ruins
Jump down the gap to your right and follow the path into the ruins in front of you. On the first archway you will see a treasure [Topaz (Square)]. Jump down where you need to and head right, open the stone chest in here for 900 gold and continue through the area until you reach a stone bridge. Move to cross it and it will collapse. When you are ready, jump don to the platform below and work your way around to the left. A pair of melee and a pair of spear toting majini will jump onto the path at the corner, and after they are down, a large number of tribal majini - shield bearers, spearmen and crossbowmen will appear here a little bit further along the path to welcome you, so take the usual precautions.
Slowly work your way around the stone walkway and up the stairs. At the top, pull a u-turn to the right and head for the structure in front of you. A couple of shield and spear majini will rush out of the first doorway at you. Eliminate them and then head into the room they came from, open the chest to the left to have Sheva join you and to find treasures [Sapphire (Square)], [Sapphire (Pear)] and 700 gold. Continue along the path until you reach the opposite end of the bridge, from here take a left and head for the stone chest in front of you.
Open the chest and the floor will fall away beneath you; hit the button prompt at the bottom of the screen to land safely. You will now be in a pair of crossing corridors. As soon as you land a group of spiders will emerge from the ground in front of you and a melee majini will drop down behind you. Kill them and a majini will drop down from the left and a spearmen will come from the right. Whilst they are coming at you, there are also a number of spiders to contend with coming from all sides. Once you have defeated everything, a cut-scene will show the door opening. Before you go however, head down each of the three other hallways to pick up the treasures [Emerald (Trilliant)], [Ruby (Trilliant)] and [Sapphire (Trilliant)]. Do be careful as although the scene has shown, the occasional majini warrior or spider is still likely to appear.
Head for the open door, but do not exit just yet. Use a sniper rifle to eliminate the three shield guys and then fall back a bit (a pair of archers will hide behind them for cover if you are not quick enough, so eliminate them also). Wait a few moments and 5-6 spearmen will appear from behind the raised platform in the room below. Kill them as they jump up onto your platform. When everything is dead or dying, using Sheva's help turn the device in the middle of the room for a short cut scene. You will now need to run as fast as you can to the now open door whilst avoiding the great balls of fire. Successfully entering through the door will activate a pressure plate, this will now keep the door open permanently and remove the fireballs from the preceding area. Continue down the stairs and open the door. Move into the hallway and follow the button prompts to continue.
After the scene, jump down the hole in front of you and pull on one of the chains either side of the room. Descend the stairs, and pause at the top of the second set of stairs. Pull out a sniper rifle and look up to the ruins above the area to your left to see [BSAA Emblem 3]. Continue down the stairs, and turn left, turn left again into a small alcove at the end for weapon [Grenade Launcher]. Do a quick 180 degree turn and head into the room behind you, making your way to the blue statue in the corner. Pull the chains to see a cut-scene. After the scene, examine the floor in front of the statue for treasure [Sapphire (Square)]. Make your way up the stairs the chains activated, and head for the green statue. Before you pull it, jump over the gap at beside the top of the stairs for the treasure [Idol (Gold)]. Head back to the statue and pull the chains. After the scene, look at the floor in front of the statue for treasure [Emerald (Square)]. Then head away from the statue along the newly formed bridge and turn right. As you do, a large group of tribal majini will appear in the ruins over to your left. The melee enemies, shield chumps and spearmen will slowly make their way to you, so while you have the opportunity, try to cap the torch carriers and the crossbowmen.
Once everything is down, make your way around the platform and find your way down the stairs here, and up the next set. Pull the chains on the orange statue at the top of the stairs, and then examine the base for treasure [Topaz (Square)]. Examine the purple statue a little further along the platform to your right and you will notice there is only one chain. You will need to find the other, which just happens to be in the room below. Sheva will stay here to pull the chain. So when you are ready, move downstairs, and enter the room here with the second purple statue. As you approach it, you will see a scene showing a bunch of baddies coming to get you.
A group of majini warriors will jump down and attack Sheva, so do your best to help her out from below. As you do several spiders will emerge from he ground to bother you and a group of five warriors will appear behind you. Try to kill the torch bearer fist, then the spear guys. Once the area is secure, pull the chain on the purple statue in the corner. Examine the floor beneath both statues for treasure [Ruby (Pear)] and [Sapphire (Pear)]. Head to the most North Eastern corner and find the red statue. Pull the chain to reveal the stairs to the exit. Examine the floor before the statue for treasure [Ruby (Oval)]. Turn around and make for the stairs.
Boss: Popokarim
Before you get very far, a boss will appear. This is the same kind of boss that we encountered at the end of mission 2-2. There are two ways to kill this guy. Firstly we can run away. Simply run past him and up the stairs, following the button prompts you get as you near the top.
Alternatively we can fight him. For a tresure [Soul Gem]. The tactic for this guy is essentially the same as for the first encounter you had with one of these guys. You will need to kite him around and stun him using grenades and the grenade launcher until he collapses then go to town on his weak spot. Like the first time you fought him, watch out for all of his melee attacks and dodge with the button prompts. Once you have hit him in his weak spot enough he will die. Either way you choose to deal with that bad boy, head through the door at the top of the stairs to complete the mission.
