To find the Old Kofun, look for the question mark on your map in the eastern section of Izumi Settsu. You can fast-travel from Sakai and head east or walk directly from the Sakai Kakurega. The entrance is marked by a crack in a rocky wall next to a brazier.

Entering the Dungeon

Upon locating the entrance, squeeze through the gap and drop down into the cavern. Follow the pathway until you reach the first burial chamber. Here, you’ll find a small chest. Crawl through the narrow gap next to the chest to proceed.

In the grand treasure chamber, use the double swing mechanism to cross the water and claim the treasure. To exit, take the path adjacent to the treasure chest and use a Kunai to detonate explosive flasks, clearing your way out.

It all began in the ’80s when I was just 7 years old. Starting with basic arcade games, I soon delved into titles like Loom and Monkey Island by Lucasarts. Throughout the years, as I indulged in more and more games, I consistently sought clear guides to swiftly navigate my gameplay. Now, it’s my turn to contribute back to the community.
