Minkata For Advanced Players
Written by Cpt. Jericho
I know of three ways to solve Minkata:
1. Walk every co-ordinate until you reach the destination (takes you looong time!).
2. Plot a direct way by adding up the co-ordinates in the right way (warning much math involved!).
3. Use the marker game (you need an upgraded KI - bad for 2ndary avvies!).
Through weeks of testing, running and making screen shots I came up with a 4th way to solve Minkata:
4. Use landmarks (anyone can use that!).
There are no helpful landmarks? Ha, think again! There are more than enough if you know for what to look!
The following screen shots are not meant to be seen for new explorers who want to solve this age (usually referred to as a Pain in the Behind) on their own. It is meant for those who have done it before and want to re-do it quick. Therefore this walkthrough does not contain the goodies to collect in this age.

Kiva #3 isn't that hard.
Run for about 75 seconds that way. It's normal that you collide with the cage. Don't worry! As long as you don't change directions you will end up very close at Kiva #3
