Some of the directions in this walkthrough assume the 360° Free View setting is off. All mini-games and puzzles are played in Normal mode.
After the Fall, you're facing a stone temple, perhaps in Asia. The intro to the game control interface serves to open the gate. Pick up the Hat and Whip and move forward into the unexplored area of the temple. At the edge of the lava pit, you're facing south and down, where north is taken to be the top of the map accessed by the (*) button in the game interface at the bottom of the screen. Look up to see that the cardinal directions in this octagonal room are described as follows:
Click on an image for a larger view. At this point, there are two independent paths through the game that can be completed simultaneously or in either order, but both paths must be completed before you are able to converge on a common sequence leading to the endgame. These paths are the Western Quest and the Northern Quest.
which can be obtained by moving the numbered pieces at left into the corresponding positions at right:
Solving the puzzle opens the gate. Face west and enter the alcove beneath the two-headed snake. Click on the depressed area on the wall in the shape of a statue.
Return to the Pit and face south. Use the Whip on the overhanging tree limb. Move forward into the Weighing Scale room. Click on the Statuette sitting on the center platform. Pick up the Small board and put it atop the cylinder at upper right. Put the Statuette on one of the weighing platforms. Pick up four stones from the box at lower left. Try to put one of the stones on the empty weighing platform to learn that you need a basket to hold the stones. Return the stone to inventory and go back to the Pit.
Face east and enter the glowing tunnel marked "Landslide". Solve the HOG for 15 baskets:
Return to the Pit and the Weighing Scale to the south. Put the Wicker basket on the empty weighing platform. Use the largest (500 g) Stone on the sparkling gems at center to break it in half. Add the following inventory items to the basket:
Hat full of sandto balance the scale. Put the Wicker basket on the platform at lower center to open the second gate in the western exit from the Pit. Pick up the Statuette.

Stone (250 g)
Stone (150 g)
Stone (300 g)
Return to the Pit. After throwing away the stone, look up and face west. Enter the Double gate and put the Statuette into the wall depression to open the remaining gate. Move left to continue exploring. After a cutscene, you'll be in the Fresco Room facing west and up. The cardinal directions in this octagonal room are described as follows:
Click on an image for a larger view. Face south and click on the fresco, on one of its side columns, and back on the fresco again. Solve the HOG for 20 painting tools:

#2 Flat, with lid
#3 Narrow mouth
#4 Striped
#5 Narrow, with lid
#6 Tiny
#7 Cocktail shaker
#7 is higher than #5There are two solutions for the jug ordering that satisfy all these criteria:
#5 is higher than #3
#1 and #3 are next to each other
#4 and #2 are next to each other
#4 and #6 are not next to each other
#4 and #1 are not next to each other
#1 and #6 are not next to each other
#2 or #5 is between #7 and #4
Position:Only the second of these is accepted in the game. Place the jugs into these positions on the stepped stone ring:
1 (low) 2 3 4 5 6 7 (high) #1 #3 #2 #4 #5 #7 #6 #3 #1 #2 #4 #5 #7 #6
Retrieve three objects from the Kali statue, noting which arms are holding them:

Move the assembled Stone tile from inventory to the engraving on the ground.
Proceed north into the next room. After a cutscene, you'll be at a waterfall, facing east and looking up. Look down to see that the cardinal directions in this octagonal room are described as follows:
Click on an image for a larger view. Face southwest and enter the alcove flanked by two horse-like statues. Move the mouse over the blades to trigger a comment, then click anywhere on the box of 16 shelves. Solve the HOG for 8 statuettes:
From a reset puzzle state, this arrangement can be obtained by clicking on the statue positions in the following sequence:
Solving the puzzle allows three more objects to be retrieved from the Kali statue:
Back out, face north and enter the room ahead to determine that some pulleys are needed. Return to the Bottom of the Falls and solve the HOG for 20 pulleys:
Arm Object Top left Disk Top right Conch Right side, third from top Hiatus (hand)
Face the top of the waterfall and move forward. Remove 20 matching pairs of flowers and berries until the odd one is identified (one pair looks like a spotted leaf).

Return to the Bottom of the Falls and face east. Click on the one hidden mirror holder in the foliage to the upper right of the pile of jumbled blocks. Place two mirrors in this room, one on each side of the pile of jumbled blocks.
Revisit the Pit, face west and look down. Place the Tripod on the holes in the stone bridge. Click on the lens and it breaks.
Put the reassembled lens back into the tripod, then orient it so that the light beam enters the Fresco Room at left.
Enter the Fresco Room, face south and look up. Remove the foliage from the one hidden mirror holder in the center of the snake lintel. Place a mirror in it, as well as in the holder on the west wall.
In the Tripod Room, explore the now-open doorway in the south wall.
