3-1

3-1 is the beginning of a new area. A more sinister place, and full of some dangers. This stage is pretty simple, merely a warm up to what will await you. Don't let the easiness fool you, though!

Enemies: Anima, Dark Captain, Pale Runner

Right from the start, you can find an extra life nearby. Collect it and proceed. If you're not on Beyond Mode, this will be your first time meeting the Animas. These enemies are hidden underground, but you can see ripples in the ground where they are. If they get close, they will suddenly emerge, damaging and stunning anyone right on top of them. However, when they do this, they are visible, and can be attacked. Best to have some form of detection by this point. Animas will be all over this stage, so be cautious.

Ahead are 2 Dark Captains along with a brazier. Light it and continue on. Down the ramp are some Pale Runners, eventually leading to a second brazier. If both are lit, the way to 3-2 is open. Simple stage, but the next one is difficult.

Beyond Mode

The extra life is replaced with an Echo.
