The first of the four elemental Rocks. Everything outside is solved with Whirlwind; the cliff is all about ledges, slides and moai statues that blow whirlwinds.

The sand maze

  1. Right at the start, the corridors are buried in sand. You clear them by casting Whirlwind (Sheba) through the Wind Stones in front of them.
  1. Cast Whirlwind from below the first Wind Stone to clear the upper corridor.
  1. Go along that corridor and keep left to a passage that runs all the way up: a big swirl-shaped rock that you can’t use yet.
  2. From there:
    1. Go down the corridor a little to the right and follow it right, up, right and all the way down to another stone: Whirlwind from its right.
    2. Go left along the cleared corridor to another stone: Whirlwind from below.
    3. Go back to the first corridor you cleared and from there go right, down and left to the right side of the first stone: Whirlwind from the right.
    4. Return to the entrance and take the corridor now open on the left. You reach another stone: Whirlwind from below.
    5. Go all the way around to the corridor that just opened and follow it up and right to the big swirl-shaped rock.
  3. Stand below the big rock and cast Whirlwind upward: the sand on the cliff vanishes and handholds appear so you can climb the mountain.

The cliff face

  1. Climb the handholds.
  2. Next screen: go left and climb more handholds; higher up, more to the left. At the top there is a slide on your right: slide down. You land on a ledge where a moai statue blows a whirlwind that carries you to another ledge with two more slides: slide down them.
  3. Go left and down until another whirlwind carries you further right. Push the pillar in the way to the right until it drops a level and continue to two sets of handholds.
  4. Climb the left one, go right and climb down another set: a whirlwind carries you left.
  5. Climb the handholds above to a ledge with a pillar: push it right so a whirlwind catches you and carries you to the ledge on the left.
  6. Climb the handholds on the wall dodging the whirlwinds (if one hits you, you fall and have to try again). At the very top, go right to the next screen.
  1. Climb the handholds to a ledge with two pillars. Push the left pillar left with Move, climb down to a lower ledge and slide down the slide on the right.
  2. To the right, a moai statue on the ground blows a whirlwind upward: let it carry you. Up top, go left to the two pillars: push the right one left, hop left and slide down: you land on a statue you couldn’t reach before and its whirlwind lifts you to a new ledge.
  1. Cross the handholds on the left wall and, on the next screen, climb to another screen with a big swirl-shaped rock. Push the pillar on your left to the right with Move, then go back to the ledge where the last whirlwind dropped you.
  2. Slide down the slide on the right of that ledge and the one on the ledge you land on. Go left, climb all the handholds and follow the only path to the big rock’s screen. With the pillar moved, you can now stand below it and cast Whirlwind.
  1. Climb the handholds on the left wall to the next screen (if you end up back on the same screen, you didn’t use Whirlwind on the rock). At the summit, cast Whirlwind on the big rock once more: the door into Air’s Rock appears.
