Once you have collected all of the treasure, return to the previous area and command your Reds to burn down the
third thorny barrier. Send your Minions after the Gnomes up ahead and collect the Lifeforce Orbs that they drop.
Continue down the path to spot the Red Hive in the distance. There are fairies in the next area; though fairies are not
hostile, they can be a problem if one gets too close to your Minions, as any Minion within a certain range will cease
fighting to gawk at her. Because of this, you'll likely be forced to kill the creature yourself to return your love-struck
Minions to their normal, pliable state.
With the area clear, step onto the lift and slide down the mudslide to reach the second Dryad. At the bottom of the
slide, press the Y/Triangle button to put your Reds on Guard. While on Guard, Reds will automatically throw
fireballs at enemies within range. Provided the Dryad is close by, the Reds on the Guard Flag should automatically
begin attacking her.
When the first Dryad has been weakened, usher your Reds over to the wooden platform near the vine barrier and
place a Guard Flag there. To call your Minions away from the Guard Flag, hold the B/Circle button until you hear a
second horn call (about two seconds). The Reds should be able to down the second Dryad quickly enough. With
both Dryads in a weakened state, immediately begin attacking the open flower to kill the both of them. If you aren't
quick enough, the first Dryad may completely heal; if this is the case, just set your Reds to attacking her and stand by
the closed pod so you can quickly attack it when it opens.
Once the way is clear, cross the bridge to the Brown Minion Gate. Lock onto the Minion Gate and call forth as many
Brown Minions as you can before proceeding. Red Minions are not as hardy as Browns, and as such you'll want to
keep them out of melee. Reds excel as ranged units, so it's a good idea to keep your Browns selected for sweeping.
To select all Minions of a certain colour, hold down the RB/R1 and press the corresponding face button. Simply tap
the RB/R1 button to select all of your Minions.
Engage the two Elves by the lift at the south end of this area. Remember to keep your Reds out of close-range; often
just setting all of your Reds on a Guard Flag is enough. When the Elves have been taken care of, step onto the lift to
reach the upper level of the Sanctuary. Engage the Elves and then start down the walkway. There are several
enclosures that contain a number of breakable objects and treasure chest, so consider taking the time to clear these
areas as you move through.
A Harp can be found beyond the walkway overlooking the statue of the Fay. This object is needed to unlock the
Treasure Hunter achievement/trophy, which is worth 50 gamerpoints (X360), or a Gold trophy (PS3). It can be
carried by your Minions to a Netherworld Gate and teleported back to the Netherworld. There's a Waypoint Gate
right by the Harp, so be sure to pick it up.
Continue down the path beyond the Waypoint Gate to find a Possession Stone. Use the stone to take direct control
of one of your Minions. As a Minion, head through the low branch across from the Possession Stone and slide down
the mudslide there. Step onto the lift in this area to call it back up to the walkway. Then, hold down the X/Square
button for three seconds to end the possession.
As the Overlord, return to the walkway and take the lift that you just raised back down to the area below. Walk
down to the tall grass and set your Red Minions on a Guard Flag. There are three Dryads at the other end of this
area; together, they can quickly cut down your Brown Minions, so keep them off the front lines. The tall grass can be
set aflame by the Red Minions' fire, so keep your Minions back to avoid losing them.
With all three Dryads weakened, call your Reds back and make your way to the vine barrier blocking the way; lock
onto the out-of-reach, open flower, and hold down the RT/R2 button to command your Reds to start throwing
fireballs at it. With the way clear, command your Reds to burn down the thorny barrier around the statue of Fay.
Then, with all of your Minions selected, sweep them to the base of the statue to have them start chipping away at it.
When statue of Queen Fay has been destroyed, smash the large, blue crystal that the statue was holding to reveal a
Mana Upgrade.
