Like Sagila's Cave, Lapis is spread out over a wide area of space. Unlike Sagila's Cave, there is absolutely no shortcuts; you'll have to explore it all. You'll need both the Grappling Hook and the Crossbow to make it all the way through. Shortly after you begin Lapis, you'll encounter more Garzel birds, and you'll need to fire your Grappling Hook up to a floating island above the farthest island on the right that you can run to. Climb up the line that you created to the island above. | Like Sagila's Cave, Lapis is spread out over a wide area of space.

Once you are up there, you will encounter a new | Once you are up there, you will encounter a new and difficult enemy, the Heavy Soldier Bargan. They can cause quite a bit of damage if you don't know how to deal with them. They fly down from the sky, and they will remain wherever they land. Every so often, they will raise their arms and a large pulse of energy will fly forward. This pulse can't be ducked, it can only be jumped, or you can use your grappling hook to hang from the bottom of the ledge. Either way, prepare to escape this attack approximately one second after they raise their arms, and resume attacking as soon as you are able to. As long as you remember to jump or grapple, you will escape injury. Be sure to take them out slowly, one at a time. If you rush too far too fast, you could become pinned in by two of them, and you are sure to get hurt in that situation until one of them is defeated. | ||
After you destroy the first Bargan, you will have to use your Crossbow to continue on in Lapis. Stand along side (or on top of) the stump that you see, and press {{nes|B}} to fire your Crossbow. A line will appear from your stump to another stump across the way, and you can use the Wind Pulley to cross over. You'll need to do this a few times until it's time to use your Grappling Hook to descend to another platform below. | After you destroy the first Bargan, you will have to use your Crossbow to continue on in Lapis.
