Exit the cave.

Route: Magoichi

Do the following steps:

  1. Talk to Magoichi in front of the lake, he'll give you a Saiga Bomb.
  2. Use the bomb at the cracked rock near the Lightning Dragon Shrine to your left to reveal a treasure box.
  3. Open the treasure box for the Green Necklace. This necklace allows you to see hidden demon chests. Sadly, all the chests contain either medicine, magic liquid, or bullets and no especial items.

Now put the "Ring of Takajo" into the orange mechanical box. it'll prompt you to solve a puzzle. The solution is from the 2 pieces of the "Four Guardians" you collected very early in the game.

Go down the ladder.

This underground passage doesn't have anything, so keep going until you narrowly miss a spiked-pit trap. Jump over to the other side, then press "Up" to climb up.

Next, cut the ropes blocking your path. This triggers a spinning blade trap. Immediately turn around and jump over the pit and hang there until the blades pass overhead, climb up, jump back to continue to the next area.
