Underwater Exploration
Certain sections shift underwater, presenting crevasses and deep tunnel systems that extend vertical exploration and challenge navigation.

- Look for distinct rock formations that indicate safe routes.
- Pause at air pockets when visible to conserve breathing.

Dark and Brutal Tombs
Tombs in this edition are described as more terrifying, requiring advanced traversal techniques just to reach their entrances and test movement skill.
Inside, deadly puzzles combine precise platforming with logical riddles, creating layered difficulty that challenges even experienced players.
- Practice traversal moves in open areas before entering a new tomb.
- Take notes on recurring puzzle symbols to reduce trial‑and‑error.

- Explore side alleys for optional lore items that expand the story.
- Use the hub as a waypoint when planning routes back into the jungle.
