Barkhang Monastery - Climbing the Statue and Secret #3 (Gold Dragon)
In the last section, you returned from the REMOTE OUTBUILDING with the FOURTH PRAYER WHEEL.
Cross the MAIN HALL and enter the second door on the right when facing the statue.
Climb the ladder...
...and proceed to an opening overlooking the statue. Take a running jump to grab the lower of the statue's two extended hands. Pull up.
Then climb onto the upper hand. Watch out for the lit burner. From there, take a running jump to grab the head.
Pull up, cross the head, then jump onto the other raised hand. Walk to the edge, take a standing jump to grab the alcove above, and pull up. Place the second GEMSTONE in the niche...
...to open a trapdoor in the room underneath the statue.
Step to the edge of the alcove and jump back down to the hand. Climb down onto the shoulder.
Turn to face the wall behind the statue, and then hop back to slide down the chest and land on the statue's lap.
Go behind the statue, jump up the slope, and climb into the alcove in the statue's back.
Inside is SECRET #3, the Gold Dragon (44), along with 4 sets of M16 clips (45-48) if you've found all three secrets.
DARK MODE: I plan to add optional dark mode for these pages, but my current priority is updating the walkthroughs. Meanwhile, may I suggest a reputable dark mode browser extension, such as Dark Reader? (Download only from trusted sites, like darkreader.org or your browser's official add-on/extension site.)
