A round trip: to Madra for the Cyclone Chip, then back to Kibombo to explore the catacombs under Gabomba (the Djinni Mud and the Tomegathericon). Two more Djinn can be picked up on the way.

Getting Cyclone in Madra

  1. After the Black Orb you wake up in Kibombo. Go back through the Kibombo Mountains to Naribwe and down to the Gondowan Cliffs.
  2. To cross them the other way: climb the vines at the start and cross the tightrope to the right side. Climb all the vines to the very top, go right and all the way down to another vine on your right.
  3. Climb it and keep right, going down all the vines. At the far right, slide down a slope and keep down and right until you leave the cliffs.
  4. Go right to a bridge, down to another, right and up to a third, and down and right to Madra.
  5. In the house in the top-left corner, the mayor and his family apologise for what happened to Piers and give you the Cyclone Chip (Cyclone: whips up whirlwinds that clear bushes).

Optional Djinn on the way

Gabomba Catacombs

  1. Go back to Kibombo (Gondowan Cliffs, Naribwe, Kibombo Mountains). Enter the statue through its mouth and go down to the room where you got the Black Orb: there are stairs down to an underground area.
  2. A screen with several patches of weeds. Cast Cyclone on the ones furthest up and to the right: a whirlwind carries you to another room with a Djinni on the right. Beat it: Mud.
  1. Slide down the slope below and keep down to some stairs up. Go right and up to a door.
  2. Slide down the slope below it: you’re back on the first screen of the catacombs.
  3. Cyclone on the weeds furthest up and to the left: another whirlwind carries you to a different screen.
  4. Go left, up and right to a door. Inside, go up to stairs down to the ground, then left and down to the end: a patch of weeds.
  1. Cyclone there to uncover a puddle: have Piers Frost it into an ice pillar.
  1. Go right and climb the stairs you came down. From the upper ledge, hop across the ice pillar to the ledge on the left.
  2. Up there are six patches of weeds. Use Sheba’s Reveal to uncover a hidden door in the top wall and go in.
  3. To the left there’s a water current: run against it with B and slip between the columns to the top-left corner.
  1. Keep left and down to weeds between rocks: Cyclone uncovers a puddle; Frost it for another ice pillar.
  1. Go back to the current and head to the bottom-left corner: a staircase. Climb it, go right and up to the ice pillar and hop across it to the rightmost door.
  2. Climb down the stairs below, go left and all the way up to stairs onto a ledge with a statue. Talk to it: Tomegathericon.
