Essentials[edit]

"NOBODY puts Square in the corner!"

Walk out of the house, go forward and shoot the knife jerks in your way. Climb up the ladder on the right and jump to the triangle key. Use it to open the yellow gate. Then go through it and go to the right. Go through the rock archway and go up the hill on the left to get the circle key. Go back to the yellow gate and you will see a red gate. Open it with the circle key.

Crouch through the hole and run across the bridge to the lift on the right. Go across the cliff to the building and go inside it. You will see green and purple lasers. Flick the green switch to disable the green lasers and swim through the water. Open the door and jump across to the other side. Go back inside and flick the purple switch. Go back and you will see the purple lasers will be off.

Get the square key, go back outside and go to the lift on the right. Open the purple door and grab the shotbow to take out the enemies. Then go to the lift on the right of the arena and run into the building on the left. Flick the switch inside to raise the bridge. Go across the bridge, and open the door. Deal with the ovolts (and revolt on Quadrilateral Damage and Cubular!) and exit.
