Sacrificial Altar

Sacrificial Altar is a dungeon that appears in Wild Arms 2 and Wild Arms 3.

Wild Arms 2[]

Head N into the building. When you reach a gap in the ground, throw a knife at the small button on a post on the W side. At the end, notice the round emblem on the last E column is lower than the rest. Have Brad kick it off from the side, and toss a knife at the button it reveals. Head N into the next room.

Now, there's a secret that's very easy to miss. Before you reach the dragon statue at the corner, jump down immediately in front of the first column on the W side. There's a doorway tucked underneath the main walkway. Go up the stairs (which seem to defy physics, given the architecture of the room you just entered from), and read the panel on the E wall of the large room you emerge into. Note the zodiac symbols on the ground. '4 eyes' refers to two people, the twins of Gemini. Opposite that is the symbol of the bow and arrow for a few seconds without moving to open the far door. Inside, you'll receive the Stone Drago from a chest. The ring of light teleports you back by the dragon statue.

Continue on your journey. Open the chest and pull the lever. Pull out the block on either side of the pit ahead and push it in to make a bridge. Push the other block over it and into the missing corner of the staircase. Pull the lever up top and cross to the exit. In the room with two sets of stairs, go under the S platform supported by a column, and enter the door underneath it, leading back into the stairs. Go up the stairs to the large room. The panel on the wall in here talks about shooting flame against the flow of time. Climb the stairs at either end of the room, and jump from the middle of the W wall onto the head at the 9 o'clock position. Turn diagonally and shoot the raise head at 6 o'clock from there. This opens the door, which leads to the Stone Lion. Teleport back to the lion statue.

Back in the previous room, you could have had Brad kick the post of the platform on the N side to lower it slightly, allowing you to go up that side, get the chest and leave up top, but since you took the secret route instead, just grab the chest and go. Ahead, step on the red diamonds in the room to move the blocks into place, letting you cross on the side then go up the stairs. Circle around to the high bridge and jump down to the chest, then step on the diamond beside it.

Go back S a bit and step on the previous diamond again to go back up the stairs and to the very top of the bridge, then fall onto the last red diamond in the middle of the path. In the next room, jump into the pit and have Brad kick the blocks between the pair of columns on the E side. Once the path there is clear, head on in and climb the stairs. Read the panel on the wall for a clue. Your job here is to push the stone heads into the water in the corners. It doesn't matter which goes where, but you can't fit more than 2 heads into a single pool.

Once the door opens, go open the chest and teleport back out. Head through the E door up top to speak with the guardians. Now you have to unlock the memories of the Sword Magess.
