Terranigma Eklemata Walkthrough

Buy and equip the Fur Coat at the Indus River, collect the Snowgrass Leaf in Eklemata, use it on the Yeti's hot spring, then follow the mountain route until the unavoidable avalanche fills the lake. Cross the filled basin, drop through the two final holes, and defeat Dark Morph's three forms to finish Chapter 2.

Preparation and the route to Eklemata

After the Canyon sequence, travel east to the Indus River. Cross using the rhinos and buy the Fur Coat for 750 Gems from the item shop before entering the mountain region. The coat prevents the cold area from constantly freezing Ark; going without it turns ordinary navigation into an unnecessary resource drain.

Leave the Indus River to the east, circle northeast around the Tibetan mountains, and enter Eklemata. Go to the lower-left part of the opening screen first for Magirock 1, then take the northwestern route deeper into the mountain.

Get the FirePike, Ice Suit, and Snowgrass Leaf

Pass the Yeti in the hot spring, climb down the southern vine, and enter the cave. The Rakshaki enemies inside resist ordinary approaches; a sliding jump attack is the dependable way to damage them.

Clear the loose ice blocks from the slopes before using them:

1. Follow the cave path to the climbable vine and reach the upper ledge.
2. Take the western ice slope after clearing its base. It breaks through a wall and leads to the Ice Suit.
3. Return to the ledge and use the eastern slope to open the route forward.
4. The FirePike is reached by dropping through the nearby hole on the cave route; collect it before leaving this section.
5. Continue outside and speak to the red flower to receive the Snowgrass Leaf.

Return to the hot spring. Equip the leaf and use it while facing the water from the Yeti's southwest side. The healed Yeti leaves the pool and offers to carry Ark across the lake.

Cross the lake and collect the middle Magirocks

After the Yeti crossing, take the eastern side path through the trees for a Stardew, then climb the vines. At the double-vine section, work east to the cave and collect Magirock 2 from its back room.

Return to the double-vine route, go south and then west to collect Magirock 3, and climb the northwestern vine. Follow the mountain path to the cave with the ice slide.

The avalanche here is scripted: you cannot outrun it and have not taken a wrong turn. Let the scene play, speak to the mountain goat after Ark wakes, and climb out. Before returning to the lake, take the northern path for a Life Potion.

Cross the avalanche-filled basin

The avalanche has filled the former lake with snow. Climb down into it, cross toward the northeast, and continue through the cave network. The useful side paths contain 99 Gems and a Stardew.

After climbing out, follow the outdoor path until the Rakshaki area. Take the northwest branch for Magirock 4, then return east, climb the vine, and continue to a large hole. Drop through it and through the second hole below. The remaining corridor leads directly to Dark Morph.

Dark Morph boss strategy

A level around 17 and the Neo Fang are common preparation recommendations, but the fight is primarily a mechanics check. Dark Morph has three distinct forms.

Yeti form

The Yeti scatters ice crystals and then uses wind to push Ark into them. Move to a corner and run against the wind, facing away from the Yeti, until the gust ends. Attack after the push sequence rather than trying to force damage through the crystals.

Cadet form

Normal spear hits do not solve this phase. Wait for the Cadet to stop and fire an energy shot, then strike the projectile with the spear to reflect it back. Its body contact is less important than lining up the returning shot.

Shadow form

Hit the humanoid form when it appears. It breaks into invulnerable bats after taking damage; use Slicer movement to pass through or around the swarm safely, then attack again when the body reforms. Repeat without chasing the bats.

Defeating Dark Morph restores humanity and closes Chapter 2. The story resumes in Chapter 3 before the route eventually leads to Louran.
