The Sims 3 - Smashing Boulders

"I am a common adventurer in need of assistance! If you have a desire to learn the ancient art of smashing giant goulders, please contact Jiang Lu as soon as you are able."

Report in.

 

Sign my Petition?

"You are the only Sim to respond to my ad, so I suppose we are stuck together. A friend of mine knows of a magical object that can even the mightiest of boulders. However, this friend won't share this information unless the locals are ok with it. Convince 3 locals to let us have the item, then return to me."

This isn't so bad. You just need to find three locals, befriend them, then choose the "Convince" option. If you've already made friends with some locals then you can just reuse those locals. Otherwise find, some locals, I usually use the merchants because they are always in the same place, and talk with them to become friendly. Around 15 or so positive interactions (and no negative interactions) should be enough for each person. After that, choose Convince.

Once you have convinced three people, the well-known "Report In" button will appear.

 

A Friendly Interview

"I knew the local populace would come around to the idea of boulder smashing. However, it seems Bao Louie won't take my word as the truth. Bao Louie wants to speak to you personally about this whole boulder smashing business. Go answer Bao Louie's silly questions so that we can get to boulder smashing."

Just hit the button to be directed to Bao Louie.

 

Village Valuables

"Finally, an even headed person with whom to do business. Jiang Lu cannot go a single sentence without ranting about smashing boulders. I will share this information with you, but first you must prove you will benefit the greater good. Shang Simla's coffers have run dry and the city needs funding to expand the local works. Gather 3 pieces of valuable Lapis Lazuli and deliver it to me. I will in turn give it to the city. You will be paid for your assistance, I assure you."

You know how to do this.

 

Pangu's Axe

"You have proven to me that you would not abuse Pangu's Axe. You are ready to learn about it. It is a magical tool, forged by the sorcerers of Dong Huo to destroy the barricades of his enemies. Fortunately, those times are long passed, ad you are not Dong Huo. I now bestow you with the key to the Temple of Heaven! Within its halls you will find Pangu's Axe. This will be very dangerous."

Zoom out and find the Temple of Heaven icon. There's a staircase in one of the two small buildings outside the main temple. Go down the stairs.

 

TOMB - Temple of Heaven

Once you've gone down the stairs, immediately to your left will be rubble. Clear the rubble and go through the door and then down the next set of stairs. Use the keystone and through the door it unlocks.

Ohhh and then go down THOSE stairs. You'll find yourself on a red wood path. Follow the path around and you'll go through a meditation/prayer room. Keep following the path out and around until you come to very large room with rails that guard you from falling into gaps in the floor.

Alright, now it gets tricky. Go down the stairs at the end of the red wood path and explore the well there. When you come out on the other side you will see two more wells. Beware the fan shaped designs on the floor, they are traps. Beyond one of the wells is a set of stairs. Go up those and then down the next set of stairs.

You'll be in a tight hall with a few traps that you have to "attempt to cross" or disarm. Go past the traps and the first set of stairs around to the second set of stairs. Go up and then back down the next set of stairs.

In this hall you'll see a small room with a trap on the floor and a hole in the wall. Get past the trap, then inspect the hole to open a hidden door with a chest. Open the chest then head up the stairs. Click on the Axe on the wall and take it!

Now go back down the stairs and back up the stairs and back down the stairs and back up the stairs that you passed in the long hall with the traps. You should end up in an area with nowhere to go except now you have the axe so smash the boulders and loot the chests here. Now go down the stairs and continue back and up the stairs then back down the stairs into the well room.

You can explore the two wells in here if you didn't already but you won't find anything of useful, you'll just add them to your number of Dive Wells explored which will help you get the Well Spelunker challenge.

Go back through the well you came through and up the stairs to the room with the red wood path. This time there will be another set of stairs next to the original ones that you can go down. Go down this second set of stairs, watch for traps and grab the chest then explore the well in this room.

Once you make it to the other side, follow the hall, smashing rocks as needed and you'll eventually return to the entrance of the Tomb. Now just Deliver the Axe.

END TOMB

 

Just click the button to deliver the axe.

 

Boulder Smash

"I thought this would be incredible but... I wasn't quite prepared for the reality of the axe. I do not feel comfortable holding it. You should carry it. It took me some time but I narrowed down my most despised boulder. Smash the boulder blocking the entrance to the hot springs. I desire a Relic within the tomb blocked by the boulder. Destroy the boulder, find the Relic, and return it to me."

Go to the Hot Springs (NOT the Dragon Springs). At the top of the hill where the rest house is, just outside you'll see the boulder and a well. Smash the boulder and explore the well.

 

TOMB - the Hot Springs

Stand on the standing tile just through the first door. The doors will open. Don't go forward yet. Wait for the steam traps to put out the flame trap on the floor. Then just walk to the other Check the chest then explore the well.

Once on the other side, there will be three doors. Go through the door on the left and pull the statue onto the gear tile. Then go back, through the right door and do the same. Make sure you inspect the hole in the floor in this room to open a hidden room. Go back to the well and stand on the standing tile. You can now cross the middle room. Hop in and explore the well at the end.

On the other side of the well you'll see a forked hallway that looks impossible to cross. Walk forward and you'll see a long, narrow room in the middle wall of the hallway. There's a statue in here, push it onto the second gear tile. Now leave the statue there and go into the that you just cleared the path for. Stand on the standing tile here.

Now go back to the statue and the middle and PULL the statue back to the first gear tile. Now you've opened a room on the other side of the hallway. Go into it and stand on the tile there. Now return to the statue and push it onto the gear tile at the very end and then enter the room on the first side that you just opened. Clear the rubble and check the chest. Then proceed to the well at the end of the hall.

In the next area, clear the rubble in the hall and check behind it to find the Relic in one of the chests. Check the chest on the other side of the hall and then continue to the end of the hall and explore the well there. This will get you out of the dungeon. Now just Deliver the Relic.

END TOMB

 

Just click the button to deliver the Relic.
