"A one-way portal calls
Sundial tells the time
Hidden gateway opens halls
missed chance would be a crime"
From the entrance, go to the right and at the end of the path you'll find
the Sundial. Move the pointer between the two marks on the Sundial. At this
moment, the Sundial Portal is open. Now go inside the main water dome. Swim
to the purple colored dome and get inside it by the small opening on its
side. That's where you got Heart #1. Go where the Heart was is and try
to jump on the veil and land on it. Then, do a long jump to reach a ledge
above you (to the left) or take the long path and follow the ledge along the
wall. Then, perform a pulse jump (high jump) to reach another ledge above the
one you are currently on. You'll end up in an alcove with the Sundial Portal.
Enter it.
This one can be a pain because of the way the camera will place itself during
the whole thing, and you can't change it. You'll start by having to go under
the big platform that'll fall on you. Get out of its way and let it fall.
During the time the platform is going back up, do a series of Long Jumps to
pass quickly under it before it falls back on you. The rest of the course,
run and jump to get past the other falling platforms. Never stop running,
always run. In the next section, you'll have to jump over or get under the
spiked cylinders (to crouch press L or L1 button) while you're advancing to
the next section. There you'll have to kill the two Yabu's Guards to open
the gate. Next, you go up the big moving cylinder. Then, you kill the Puggles
and you pass under the big falling platform doing Long Jumps while it's going
back up to finally reach the Heart.

SHADOWRAITH HEART #8
"In the belly of the beast
short's chest deserves a look
the key to its release
is hidden in the book"
Go into the central water dome. At the top is swimming Leviathan, the big
ugly whale. Stand in front of it and it'll open his mouth and swallow
you. Inside its belly, you'll meet with 3 pirates : Nasty, Brutish and Short.
They'll ask you to open their treasure chest or they'll beat you up. So,
stand in front of the chest and press any button. You now have to enter the
right 3 buttons code to open it. So here it goes :
GameCube : A...X...B
Playstation 2 : X...Circle...Square
X-BOX : A...B...X
The code is in the instruction booklet.
After entering the right code, the chest will open revealing a Heart.

SHADOWRAITH HEART #9
"Along an outer track
hide these souls in trouble
to send their spirits back
free them from their bubbles"
The Soul Jars are located in the 3 open areas outside the water dome.
All the Soul Jars this time are trapped inside bubbles. Break the
bubbles to get the Soul Jars inside them.
1) From the entrance hub, go left to find it.
2) From the entrance hub, go right near the Sundial and you'll notice
a hole in the ground behind. The bubble is inside. Do a Ground Pound
to break it.
3) Go in the main water dome. Go to the left and you'll find another
entrance to another open area. In this one, a weird monster is holding
the bubble and making fun of you. Kick him in the... to make him drop
the Soul Jar.
The other ones are hard to find. Behind the red colored dome, look
carefully at the bottom of the water, near some red coral, and you
should find a little entrance to an underwater cavern.
4) In that cavern, jump on the 2 bounce pads to exit the cave. Outside
the cavern, behind a tree, you'll find the bubble.
5) From the hole of the underwater cavern, go right and at the end of
the path is a glass dome. Get under it and perform an Uppercut attack
to break the bubble and release the Soul Jar.
6) From the hole of the underwater cavern, go left and up on the ledge.
Perform a well timed Long Jump to jump over the pit and reach the
bubble in the small alcove. As soon as you reach the bubble, break it
and collect the last Soul Jar. You'll slide down then.
After getting the 6 Soul Jars, the Heart will appear at the top of the
main water dome. Leave the cave and swim to it.

SHADOWRAITH HEART #10
"When hearts did burst asunder
much energy did scatter
to return this heart its thunder
one hundred's all that matters"
It's not too hard getting 100 Shards in that world. There are shards in the
open areas outside the water dome, some in the water dome, some in the green
dome and some others in the orange dome and also in the volcano cave.
____________
EXTRA LIVES
1&2) Go inside the main water dome and swim to the orange colored dome. Get
inside it. Right in front of you, from the entrance, there is a yellow
pole going down by the platform's edge. Go on it and slide down on the
rock below. Perform a Long Jump to reach the cave under the water and
collect the 2 extra lives.
3) In the same orange dome as #1&2, after you see the first snake in the
middle of the structure, go in that door next to the snake. Go on the
narrow path, there's an extra life under it but you'll fall back a little
below after getting it.
4) In the lava cavern, press the 3 black switches hidden around the cave to
extinguish the fire in the center of the room and collect the extra life.
5) In the lava cavern, at the top of the big door shaped monolith.
6) In the lava cavern, at the front of the ghost ship.
7&8) In the Sundial Rift (Heart #7), after you kill the 2 Yabu's Guards to
open the huge gate, don't go on the spinning tower. You'll see a wire
netting on the floor and 2 extra lives below. Jump from the edge of the
platform and do a flare kick to reach the platform under the one you
jumped from. Collect the 2 extra lives and use the warp pad to go back
above.
9) In the ghost ship, near the ceiling.
10) In the green dome, behind the climbable structure.

______________
REIA'S SCROLL
On the top ledge of the roof of the temple where the old one-eyed man lives,
between the 2 yellow poles.
_____________________
SHADOWRAITH HEART #1
"A monk is ill at ease
in his meditation
a horde of enemies
need extermination"
Simply follow the arrows and they'll bring you to a temple. Go inside.
There lives an one-eyed old man that wants you to get rid of the creatures
inside his house. There are Slyphs, Puggles and Skinxes. You have 1 minute
(60 sec.) to get rid of them all. Once your work is done, the old monk will
reward you with a Heart.
_____________________
SHADOWRAITH HEART #2
"Reward awaits discovery
but who will earn the crown?
enemies may thwart recovery
but don't let them get you down"
Go at the back of the first temple at the start and slide down behind it.
Go through the door down there. You'll be in a huge room with a ring in the
center, surrounded by yellow poles. Go on the ring. There will be enemies
falling on the ring at each moment and you have to kill them all. There are
Grimkins and Skinxes, lots of 'em. Defeat them ALL. It's best to go there in
daytime as the enemies will be easier to defeat. The more enemies you defeat,
the more the platform will go up. After you defeat all enemies, the platform
will be high enough so you can jump and reach the Heart.
_____________________
SHADOWRAITH HEART #3
"A chamber full of blocks
is built to drive you mad
to climb them choose your knocks
or you'll find that you've been had"
Follow the red arrows to the right and they'll bring you to a place with
a Shadowminion. Drop down into the hole in the ground there to access a
secret chamber. On the wall of that room are some white blocks. The goal
is to destroy the right blocks in order to reach the top and the Heart. If
you destroy the wrong blocks, you'll have to press the black switch in the
center of the room to start back. This is really hard to do so I made a
little map to help you get to the Heart.
@
0 # # # 0 @ = Shadowraith Heart
# # # 0 0 0 = Block you leave there
# # 0 0 0 # = Block you destroy
0
0
# 0 0 0 0 0
# 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0
Destroy the blocks marked # on the map by doing Flare Kicks and use Pulse
Jumps to get on the blocks marked 0 on the map. When doing the Flare Kicks,
make sure to only destroy the right blocks (pretty tricky). If you follow
that map, you can get to the Heart. Note that you need to stand on the
destroyed blocks. There are other possibilities to reach the Heart but
that's the one I used.
_____________________
SHADOWRAITH HEART #4
"A sandy theme for certain
needs a mummy to take a fall
beyond the stony curtain
you're sure to have a ball"
Follow the arrows to the right and they'll bring you in front of another
temple. Go inside and you'll face an angry mummy. This fight isn't really
hard but rather long and tedious. The mummy has 2 main attacks : it'll
turn into a ball and run after you around the platform or it'll bounce
on the green circles to crush you. You can avoid all these attacks by
always doing Long Jumps (but don't get too close to the edges or you could
fall off the platform). After the mummy performs its attacks, it'll stop
and will be dizzy for a moment. Use that opportunity to hit it with a
Flare Kick to hurt it. You have enough time to hit it 2 times in a round!
After being hurt, it'll do a Ground Pound to crush you so get out its way.
You'll have to repeat that 6 times (if you hit him 1 time per round) or 3
times (if you hit him 2 times per round) to win... After the mummy is KO,
you'll be awarded the Heart.

SHADOWRAITH HEART #5
"Beacon laying in waste
appears your only hope
to reach goal highly placed
it first must telescope"
Now you must press 3 black switches to raise the telescope tower.
Switch 1 : Go at the back of the old one-eyed monk's temple. At the right
is a pad. Stand on it to get lifted to a ledge above. Press the black
switch there.
Switch 2 : There is a place with 4 Shadowminions enemies. Go there and at
the left are some small white platforms that change size. Jump on these
platforms and on the last one is the switch.
Switch 3 : Same thing as Switch #2 but at the right this time.
When the 3 switches are activated, the Tower will raise. Some white platforms
will appear in front of it so you can reach it. Get inside the tower.
Now you'll have to go up the yellow pole and then grab the green grate
ceiling above. Go on the trap in the ceiling to end up above the ceiling. Now
repeat this process until you're at the top of the telescope tower where
you'll find the Heart.

SHADOWRAITH HEART #6
"A one-way portal calls
sundial tells the time
hidden gateway opens halls
missed chance would be a crime"
You probably already know where the Sundial is situated if you went all
over DaggerCrag. It's at the left, on your way to the old one-eyed monk's
temple. Move the pointer of the Sundial between the 2 little marks on
it. The Sundial Portal is now open. The Portal is located in the room with
the ring full of enemies surrounded by yellow poles (where you got Heart #2).
Slide down behind the first temple and enter this room. Inside, go to your
right and climb up the yellow pole there. Jump on the platform above where
the Sundial Portal is. Enter it. This rift is pretty easy too. Some
pole jumping and platform jumping. Work your way to the end and climb on top
of the last yellow pole where the Heart is above.
_____________________
SHADOWRAITH HEART #7
"Some rewards you earn
by leaping, fighting, dashing
these skills were wise to learn
but this one's simply mashing"
Go to the one-eyed old man's temple. Go around the temple to the back and
start climbing to the top by following the red arrows. When you reach the
very top of the temple, climb on one of the 2 yellow poles to reach the
roof. Stand in the middle of it and do a Ground Pound to break the glass of
the roof and fall to the Heart.
_____________________
SHADOWRAITH HEART #8
"Outside a holy shrine
these hopeless souls are trapped
if all six you can find
a heart will be untapped"
To get the 6 Soul Jars, go in front of the one-eyed old monk's temple.
1) At the left, go down the small white platforms. Now go to the right and
there is a Soul Jar at the right of the path, on a ledge below.
2) On the same path as Soul Jar #1, at the end of the path, past the Puggle
enemy.
3) On the circular moving platform (still near the old man's temple).
4) After getting Soul Jar #3, continue on the path. There is a Soul Jar
on a ledge below, between the 2 blocks.
5) Carry on to the back of the temple. Go at the right and use the black
switch to get lifted to the ledge above and get the Soul Jar.
6) Continue climbing around the temple until you reach the top ledge
of the temple. Near the roof behind is the last Soul Jar.
The Heart will appear behind the one-eyed man's temple.
_____________________
SHADOWRAITH HEART #9
"When hearts did burst asunder
much energy did scatter
to return this heart its thunder
one hundred's all that matters"
There are Shards everywhere around DaggerCrag and some inside the telescope
tower, the one-eyed old man's temple and the chamber with the ring of
enemies surrounded by yellow poles. Collect 100 Shards to get the Heart.
____________
EXTRA LIVES
1) Inside the old one-eyed monk's temple, next to the statue in the center.
2) Near the telescope tower is an area with 4 Shadowminions attacking you.
Go straight and climb up a little (on the second platform with a tree on).
Behind the short wall near the tree is an extra life, you have to grab the
ledge below to reach it.

REIA'S SCROLL
From the start, at your left is a path leading to a small footbridge and the
scroll is inside the little dome there.
_____________________
SHADOWRAITH HEART #1
"The head of the machine
where gears and pistons churn
one must be quick and keen
or else your flesh will burn"
Use the wooden platforms over the water to reach the mountain on the other
side of the lake. You'll see an arrow pointing to a door at the bottom of the
middle statue on the rock face. Go through that door. You'll be inside a kind
of huge enginery room. From the entrance, go in the small passageway at your
left. The rest should be pretty easy. Reach the top of that room and a
platform will transport you on the tongue of the huge statue head. Do a pulse
jump to reach the Heart under the statue's nose.
_____________________
SHADOWRAITH HEART #2
"Head awash in hazard
awaits to test your fears
gain a heart if you're not
wet behind the ears"
Use the wooden platforms over the water to reach the mountain on the other
side of the lake. Go at the very right, following the arrows. They'll
bring you to a yellow pole. Climb up that pole and enter the tunnel
inside the right statue's mouth. You'll be in a huge underwater cavern.
It'll be very tricky to guide you through that cave but I'll do my best.
Swim to the place where you see a big yellow lifebelt floating over the
water. Go between the wall and the lifebelt and you should be able to stand
on a ledge by the wall (you can't see it, it's under the water, but it's
there). Do a pulse jump to land on the huge lifebelt. Jump on a platform
near the lifebelt with a black switch on (there's a big arrow pointing
over it). Press that switch to raise the water's level. You'll have to
press these kinds of switch in the cave to raise the water's level to the
maximum so you can reach the Heart.
Now, go between the wall and the lifebelt again and there is another ledge
you can't see by the wall. Stand on it and do another pulse jump to reach
the lifebelt again. (I think the ledge by the wall next to the lifebelt is
a glitch because usually, you have to go through platforms to reach the
lifebelt and it's harder and longer...) Jump on another platform with
another black switch. Press the switch to raise, again, the water's level.
This time, the glitchy ledge trick doesn't work. Swim to the center of the
lifebelt, there is a kind of tower in the middle. You can enter it by a
small opening by its side, under the water, and reach the lifebelt that way.
After that, jump on the circular platforms near the lifebelt and on the last
platform, go at the left in a small tunnel. At the end of the tunnel is an air
switch. It'll lift you up. Jump the moving orange cages and reach the yellow
pole using the air switch. Go on the pipe over the room and at the end, go
right and jump in the alcove in the wall, where you'll find another black
switch. Press it and the water's level will raise again.
Go on the lifebelt and on the moving circular metal platform. Press the last
switch to raise the water to its final level. The lifebelt will burst...
Swim to the Heart in the center of the room.

SHADOWRAITH HEART #3
"In the lowly lake
lie some rings so cheesy
a task you'll think is cake
you'll find is not so easy"
Now you have to activate 6 rings located around the lake to reveal the
way to the ice cavern. There are 5 rings underwater, in the lake, you
should have no problem finding them as they're in plain view (except
maybe the one at the bottom of the waterfall at the right of the lake).
The sixth one is... swim at the left of the lake (there should be an
arrow there pointing you the way) and go up the ledge, on the ground.
Follow the arrows to the top (there should be a Shadowminion there) and
you'll see the last ring near the rock face. Jump into it to activate it.
Once all 6 rings are activated, the statue underwater will reveal the
entrance to a new cave in its lantern. Go through to enter the ice cavern.
Make your way to the top of this cave to reach the Heart at the very top.
It's hard telling you exactly where but there's a big shortcut at the start,
you can climb up on some ledges on one of the walls at the beginning
(just before the first tunnel) and then do a pulse jump to reach a high
platform with a Bounce Pad that'll lead you to the platform with the Heart.
If you can't find this wall, well, you'll have to do it the long way...
_____________________
SHADOWRAITH HEART #4
"Pillar rows stand below
in each opposing phase
a puzzle to lay low
an answer to amaze"
Use the wooden platforms over the water to reach the mountain on the other
side of the lake. Go at the very left and climb up the other wooden platforms
there that will bring you to the top of the mountain. Up there, you should
find a black switch. Press it and the rock face will collapse. You'll have a
series of switches to press in order to reveal a third huge statue head in
the mountain's side. Go through the door at the bottom of that new statue.
Inside, to cross the lava river, you'll have to jump on that round platform
over the lava. The patterns to avoid the obstacles on the lava river are :
right, under (crouch), left, over (jump). Then, you'll end up in a room with
a small maze on the floor and 3 pillars on each side of the room. You can
change the color of the pillars by pressing a switch on top of them. The
left row of pillars must be white and the right row of pillars must be black
(you know that by looking at the color of the stone the statue in front of
the row is holding). Change the color of the pillars so they're all the color
they have to be (climb around the room to go on the pillars). A black switch
will then appear in front of the small labyrinth. Press that switch to get
warped inside the labyrinth. You have 19 seconds to reach the exit of the
labyrinth and get the Heart. (Use Long Jumps to save time)
_____________________
SHADOWRAITH HEART #5
"A one-way portal calls
sundial tells the time
hidden gateway opens halls
missed chance would be a crime"
From the entrance, go to the left and behind some rocks you'll find a
path that leads to the top of a small hill with the Sundial on. Move
the pointer of the Sundial between the 2 little marks on it. The Sundial
Portal is now open. The Sundial Portal is situated inside the huge
enginery room (where you got Heart #1). After the first catwalk you have
to go up, the camera will fixe itself right behind you. That's annoying
because the Portal is right behind you, on a platform you can't see because
of the way the camera is fixed. So jump on the platform behind you and
enter the Sundial Portal.
This one is pretty tough. At the end of the first slide, jump to reach
the climbable wall. After that, don't go at the left or right, go straight
ahead on the cylinder. There's an extra life there, and a slide (the middle
one) that'll bring you to the next part. After the 2nd slide, you'll have
to run on the big moving cylinders. You have to run to the opposite direction
of the one you want to go to make it move. That was the hard part, if you
got it, the rest should be no problem. Get the Heart at the end.
_____________________
SHADOWRAITH HEART #6
"In summit of the sages
through pumphouse hidden door
for heart that's hid for ages
just hop and drop some more"
Go straight from the start. Over the lake are some spinning platforms. Jump
in the middle of them to make a footbridge appear to reach the next platform.
Go on these 3 platforms to reach the last one with a pumphouse on. Enter the
pumphouse to play the last mini-game against your inner demons. The character
who finishes a round with the less points is disqualified. So make sure it
isn't you... Your character has a black circle under him so don't mistake him.
The goal this time is to step on the more dales as possible. But this time,
meteors will fall on the board sometimes, destroying dales, so it'll be a
little harder. When you step on a dale, it'll fall down after so run and jump
to avoid the gaps and don't forget to make the most points possible. If you
fall down, you'll loose some precious time so try not to fall. On the last
round, you'll be playing only against one opponent so be careful. If you win
the 3 rounds, you'll be awarded a Heart.

SHADOWRAITH HEART #7
"A silent giant's hand
reveals a magic cube
in each side take a stand
and prove you're not a rude"
Go inside the left statue head, in the lava cavern. Go at the very end of the
cave, past the moving round platforms. A huge cube will appear in front of
you. The cube has 6 faces and a Soul Jar in each. You can change the cube's
face by pressing the black switch in front of the cube. Enter the magic
cube...
1) Green face : Go up the red/green stairs, then jump to your right and reach
the Soul Jar. It is in a kind of cage so do a Ground Pound to get it.
2) White : Go up the yellow/blue stairs at the right and jump on the moving
platforms to reach the Soul Jar.
3) Yellow : Go up the yellow/blue stairs at the right. Do a pulse jump to
reach the next yellow floor above and enter the kind of big green cage. Jump
on the Soul Jar inside and do a Ground Pound to get it.
4) Red : Go up the blue/red stairs and jump on the red floor at the left. Go
upstairs again and on the moving round platforms. Get the Soul Jar at the end.
5) Orange : Go up the pink/red stairs and go to the left. Go upstairs and
do a pulse jump to reach the green alcove. Go on the yellow/green falling
footbridge and at the end, jump onto the wall (and hold left) to reach the
Soul Jar above.
6) Pink : Go up the yellow/pink stairs and do a pulse jump to reach the
pink floor above. Jump on the moving round platforms (watch out for these
annoying HobbleTrods) and reach the last Soul Jar.
The cube will then explode revealing a Heart.

There are Shards in the lake, around and at the top of the mountain, in
the ice cavern, in the lava cavern, in the underwater cavern and in the
enginery room. There is enough Shards here to collect 100 and get the Heart.
____________
EXTRA LIVES
1) Behind the entrance, to the left, go up the little hill. On a ledge below
is an extra life.
2) Get on the wooden platforms and reach the mountain part. Do a Long Jump
on a ledge below to reach a rock over the water. Stand on the warp pad
there to get warped on a ledge further with an extra life on.
3) In the left eye of the huge statue (the middle one) on the rock face.
4) At the very top of the huge statue (the right one), in a small well.
5) At the left of the huge statue (the left one), you have to climb a wall at
its left and do a long jump to reach a ledge with the life on.
6) In the enginery room, high atop one of the walls near the end of the
level. Use the machine there to reach it.
7) In the water cave, when the water is at its third level, there is a life
in an alcove in the tower in the middle of the big lifebelt.
8) In the fire cavern, use the Rock Suit to break the yellow glass leading
to a passageway with 2 Shadowminions and 1 HobbleTrod. Break the other
yellow veil in that tunnel to get another extra life.
9) In the ice cavern, at the start, after the second bounce pad, do a Long
Jump to a ledge on your left and you'll find an extra life in an alcove in
the wall.
10,11,12) In the Sundial Rift, after the first slide, don't take the left
or right path, continue straight ahead on the big cylinder. There's
an extra life there and then a 2nd one on the slide and a third one
after the 2nd slide and the moving cylinder.

Straight ahead from the entrance, go in the big windmill there. Inside,
you'll have to reach the top to get the Heart. It mainly consists of
platforming elements so I can't really help you. Sometimes you have to
find and press purple switches to make new platforms appear to continue
your way to the top. There are a lot of Hulks inside so be careful. At the
