XVII. The Temple Of Lahkesis, Part3
You'll end up in a room with a waterfall in it. Bash the wall at the base to reveal a chest full of red orbs, then climb the waterfall. Outside, you'll be able to climb a wall. Go right to the bottom and left to find a chamber with a Phoenix feather in it, then head up to the top of the wall to find a ledge with a Gorgon eye and two red orb chests on it. Now head into the middle chamber, where you'll see a statue with raised hands.
Puzzle focus
Drop off the walkway and head left. At the end of the room there's a lever - pull it and the gate to your right will half-open. Now move into the middle of the room and pull the fountain towards the back of the room until it locks, revealing a dive pool. Jump in and swim through to the other side of the half-open gate. Rip the jewel of fate from the statue. You've now got the ability to slow time whenever you see a statue of the fates (they glow green). Press R1 and L1 at the same time to slow time.
Now swim back through the dive pool and head to the back of the main room. There are two chests here, one with a Phoenix feather and the other with a Gorgon eye. Stand on the pressure plate, and immediately use the freeze time ability. Now climb up the pillars before they fall down again. Head to the back of the walkway and face the statue again. Stand on the pressure plate, freeze time, and run towards the statue. Jump onto the hands and let them transport you upwards. Wait for the head to finish speaking, bash it off the neck, then jump off. There's a chest with a Phoenix feather on the left, and one with red orbs on the right.
Now drop into the courtyard and fight the four wraiths that appear. Don't forget, you can still slow time to make the fight easier. Break the statue's head fully and drop down into the next area.
