Kilika Cloister of Trials

This Cloister is the second of the six Cloister of Trials that you will face during your playthrough of the game. It takes place during the team’s visit to the destroyed seaside village of Kilika. Check out the Kilika Walkthrough page for more details on this section of the game.

To start things off, walk up to the entrance door to the temple and select “Go inside.” Take the burning Red Sphere Item IconKilika Sphere out of the pedestal and place it in the door at the back of the room.

Removing the Kilika Sphere from the pedestal

This first sphere will only cause the door to partly burn away. Take the Red Sphere Item IconKilika Sphere back out of the recess to completely remove the remaining barricade.

Dissolving the using the Kilika Sphere

In the next room, you will find a pedestal as well as a sphere-shaped recess on the far wall at the back of the room. Place the Red Sphere Item IconKilika Sphere in the recess of the back wall, and a glyph will appear.

Making the glyph appear

You can’t touch it until you remove the flaming Red Sphere Item IconKilika Sphere, so take it out and place it into one of the recesses on either of the two side walls. Then touch the glyph that appeared on the north wall (the Red Sphere Item IconKilika Sphere cannot be in the recess on the north wall for this process to work).

Touching the glyph on the wall

Enter the flaming room and remove the Red Sphere Item IconKilika Sphere from the recess on the east wall. Take it back out into the previous room and insert it into one of the recesses in the side walls (the opposite one that you put the previous Red Sphere Item IconKilika Sphere into).

Placing the Kilika Sphere into the recess in the wall

Return to the flaming room and step on the switch on the east side to bring the pedestal into this room. Take the Green Sphere IconGlyph Sphere out of the pedestal and place it into the recess where the Red Sphere Item IconKilika Sphere used to be.

This step will cause the fire in this room to go out. The wall will rise, revealing the Purple Sphere IconDestruction Sphere, but ignore that for now.

You see a sphere-shaped recess

Go back into the previous room and grab one of the Red Sphere Item IconKilika Spheres out of either of the side recesses. Insert the sphere into the pedestal and then push the pedestal into the switch that you used to bring the pedestal into this room. This step will cause a portion of the floor to break away.

Pushing the pedestal with the Kilika Sphere inside it

Now go down and retrieve the Red Sphere Item IconKilika Sphere that used to be in the pedestal from the wall. Insert the Red Sphere Item IconKilika Sphere into the door at the back of the room, which will cause it to light on fire, but it won’t open all the way.

Taking the Kilika Sphere out of the recess

Go back and grab the Purple Sphere IconDestruction Sphere and insert it into the recess where the Red Sphere Item IconKilika Sphere used to be (where the floor dropped down).

The Treasure Chest revealed by the Destruction Sphere

Grab the treasure chest after the wall breaks away to receive a Armlet Armor IconRed Armlet. Make sure you equip Kimahri with the Red Armlet. This Armlet is a great piece of armor that shields him from various elemental attacks.

Go back up to the doorway at the back (that should still be flaming) and remove the Red Sphere Item IconKilika Sphere from the recess. You can now head through and up the stairs, which completes the Kilika Cloister of Trials.
