For more than a mile you ride the torrid waters of this underground river. Its swift current takes you through a series of low, dark caverns, and steeply-sloping chutes. During one of many rapid descents, your Backpack is torn and you lose one item. (Erase from your Backpack one item of your own choice.)

Soon you reach a place where the river flows into a deeper, colder channel. Where the two rivers meet, the water boils and seethes as it collides with a line of jagged, razor-edged rocks. Frantically you battle against the converging currents as you are swept inexorably nearer to this treacherous reef.

If you possess Elementalism and wish to use it, turn to 229.

If you possess Kai-alchemy, have attained the Kai rank of Sun Knight, and wish to use your ability, turn to 34.

If you do not possess either of these skills, or if you have yet to attain the required level of Kai Mastery, turn instead to 338.
