★ The Drains — illustrated walkthrough
1. Check the ledges beside the entrance channel
At the vertical channel with pipes, inspect the left-hand recess and small platform first. Establish a safe landing before descending farther.
※ Hammer enemies and changes in elevation
Watch the hammer enemy's raised-hammer attack near the steps. Use platforms at different heights to maintain distance and approach after the action rather than trading hits on a narrow ledge.
2. Speak with the NPC on the candle-lit platform
Speak with Liuer on the horizontal platform lined with candles. Finish the conversation before exploring nearby rooms.
3. Spikes and intermediate platforms in the airflow room
The airflow room has floor spikes and a narrow intermediate platform. Identify a safe landing; before obtaining Wind Ride, progress to the tutorial node rather than forcing the high jump.
4. Airflow practice after the nest platform
After the nest-platform tutorial, ride the vertical updraft. Use platforms on both sides to adjust direction; Wind Ride requires airflow.
◆ A pickup on the central shaft platform
Inspect the glowing pickup beside the small central platform in the airflow shaft. Deal with nearby threats before moving between ledges at different heights.
5. Recheck the central branch before the encounter
Recheck branches in the room with high ledges on both sides and a central platform. A hammer enemy remains below; establish an upper landing before dropping down.
◆ Supplies at the purple tent
Buy a second oil bottle at the purple-tent shop. Use this as a preparation stop and check supplies before the next encounter.
6. Threats above and below the combat platform
Spiked round targets threaten both sides of the combat platform in the shaft. Check above and below before repositioning.
→ Continue through the lower passage
After the encounter, follow the low-ceilinged pipe passage. Notice the small figures to the right and check the exit connection on the map.
