Collect the Hearts, but beware of the spiked mashers along the way. While contact from below or the side is deadly, you ''can'' stand ''on top'' of them safely. Deal with the chasing Ghost and ascend the stairs.

Collect hearts and watch for blinking eyes. These indicate the presence of Owls that will swoop down on you. The Boomerang you collect along the way can be handy against them. Also watch out for the water pits, since you can't swim. Cross all the way to the door leading to Block 3-02.

The first thing you'll run into next is that infernal twin-headed fireball-spitter. Time your ascent to avoid getting singed, then lay on it with your whip. Deal with two of these as well as the odd Hunchback and climb on back down.

You're back on the level where you started, only across the wide gap. Step into the door...where you will have a decision to make.

Another Whip Skeleton awaits you, but worse are the Spiders. They'll drop down on lines, and if you don't (or can't) hit them before they hit bottom, they'll send a spider kid your way on a course littered with gaps. Try to make your way across quickly to minimize the danger. After another Whip Skeleton, climb up while avoiding the Spiders. Then climb back down to where you can reach the candles and continue on down.

From here, it's a short trip right to the stage boss: the [[../Bosses#Level 3|Cyclops]]. Once you defeat him and take the Crystal, a statue in the background will crack open, revealing it to be a petrified human restored: the sorceress Sypha Belnades. At this point, you can choose to recruit her. If you didn't get Grant, there is no downside to recruiting her. If you have Grant, however, recruiting Sypha will cause Grant to say "My job is done" and leave the party. The choice is up to you, as both have their benefits and drawbacks.

Regardless of your choice, the stage will be cleared, and you will continue onward to the [[../Stage 4A|Haunted Ship of Fools]].
