Climb up the wall and go to the right. You can save your game once more in here. Enter the room in the back of the screen, defeat the small monsters and jump near the fireplace. To the right there's a red orb chest. Take its contents and then jump to the left of the fire to get to another climbable wall. Don't go down yet - jump to the left and snatch a Gorgon Eye.
Go all the way down along the wall and then jump left. Destroy the irregular stone in the background to get a Phoenix Feather. Go back up to the middle level, defeat the imps and smash through the gate.
You'll see a giant statue before you. Jump down to the lower level and go "under the screen" - there's a Gorgon Eye and a Phoenix Feather in here. Move a pillar to reveal an underwater passage. Dive in there (by holding X). You'll find yourself behind the jammed bars that you've seen from the other side. Use the statue here and you'll get an Amulet of Fates. It's a handy little item that lets you slow down time. Swim back into the main room and stand on a button near the movable pillar. Slow down time (L1+R1) and jump back up to the upper level. Now stand on another button to lower the statue's arms, slow down time again and run forwards to stand on them. After a short scene attack the statue's head, then jump down behind it and take a Phoenix Feather and some experience from the chests. Jump out through the broken window.
Time to meet a new type of enemies. Let's call these guys phantoms. It's good to use magic and combos on them. Watch out when they hide below the floor and try to sneak on you - get away from them and wait for their reappearance. When you defeat them, smash the statue's head and leave.
Take some green orbs from a chest. Before you jump down, check out the platform to the left and to the right. You'll get some experience (for destroying vases) and a Gorgon Eye. Jump down using one of the ladders.
