1. Go down the stairs in this hallway and hang off the edge at the end of the
stairs. Drop down when you are above the curtain to slide down the curtain.
Before you reach the bottom of the curtain jump to your right. Walk along
this beam to the left (near the wall) and jump to the beam to your right. Now
jump to the beam to your right and then to the beam to your left. Jump to the
hallway up ahead and move quickly to avoid the spikes coming out of the
floor. Use the Fountain that you find around the corner to the left. Continue
down this hallway and out the doorway at the end of it.

Scene (If you watch closely you will notice there is a chest near
the doorway you enter that you will be getting later on.)

2. "Boss Battle: "Woman in Black (Shahdee)"

Go up to her and hit her a few times while she is distracted with stomping on
the hands of the unknown woman. Use the same strategy as you did before when
facing her. There are two big differences here from the previous fight
because she now kicks you clear across the room and you will want to avoid
being kicked into the pit and second she seems to get distracted when
stomping on the unknown woman's hands. Try to keep her away from the Unknown
woman otherwise she will eventually make her fall and you will get the game
over screen. Just avoid her kicks as best you can and slash her every chance
you get. She will sometimes do the powerful kick right after you hit her with
a few slashes. Just back flip away from her while blocking to avoid the
powerful kick. When you get her 1/3rd of the way down on her health bar it
should show a close up of them. Quickly press square to push her off and then
slash her a few times. Go back to the same strategy again of blocking and
then slashing her when she pauses before back flipping away from her to avoid
her kick. If you can get her on the far side of this platform and back away
from her she will sometimes start to ignore you and walk back towards the
unknown woman. When she does this attack her to get a few cheap shots on her.
You will get another close up of them half way through her life bar just
rapidly push square to push her away. You will get one more close up
when you reach half of half of the life bar. Just keep up the strategy until
she is defeated. I do recommend when facing her to always be backing up when
you can/are not attacking her. this will also help you avoid being hit by
that powerful kick. You can also pull off a five hit combo again if you are
good enough at this time with your buttons. After you slash her three times
with your sword jump at and over her (the same way you do the Crowmaster)
and slash her two more times. That way only seems to work best if you get
all three slashes in because she pauses long enough to jump over her. If you
are real good you can get up to seven hit combo on her before she blocks.
Also, if you happen to need more sand to fill up your sand tanks smash the
little pots that are laying around. Some of those usually have sand to refill
your tanks with.
