Enter the cave. Climb up the "cube mountain" until you are eye-level with some cubes that release spikes every 10 seconds. Jump the four cubes towards the root. Run into the electric spark, which teleports you to another root. Run down the root into the structure with the rats and the swinging logs. Wait for the logs to stop and then run into the next spark; this teleports you to a hill. Jump across the spiked cubes towards the center platform, bear left and go through the portal. Jump down onto the ledge, and walk into the closest portal to you. Look down and to your right, and fall down onto the ledge. There will be a portal in front of you. The smaller cubes have spikes, the larger one to their left does not. Jump through this portal. This next portion will have one portal that faces the chest room, and one that faces the rest of the puzzle. Walk into the one opposite from the chest. Steps number 7 and 8 can be skipped by teleporting past the closest portal and skip the cube jumping (Lightning Flash, Blink, etc) Tips Speed boosts, teleports, and shadow steps are useful for avoiding the spikes. Gallery From entrance, make a u-turn to the left to find the teleporter. Turn around and face the structure. Walk to other side of cube. Follow the branch to the ledge. Log traps will cripple and more often than not, throw you off the edge. Here you have two choices. Move on to step 9 and try to get across, or perform a dodge roll through the first warp on this ledge to the one behind it and pick up with step 11. This warp point requires you to approach from the side. Do not fall off the edge as the fall will kill you. Ignore the spike trap blocks and just jump to the lower platform. Walk up the ramp and jump to the block, then jump to the warp. Splendid Chest on the other side. Warp above it will take you to teleporter from 1.
