'''Mission 2'''

You might think nothing can rival treasure-hunting mission 1s for annoying random factors.  This particular mission 2 begs to disagree.  Dreamcast players can garner an advantage of about 1 second, but that's really nothing if you don't get the random element to work.

There are several different ways to complete this mission, but the fastest way will take plenty of tries for even the most consistent player.  From the start, dig once.  Did you get a lightning shield?  If not, you're not going to get the record this time and can restart.

While all mission 2s make it impossible to dig up rings, they don't do the same for shields.  It's unknown what each item's frequency is, but lightning shields almost certainly come up less than 1% of the time.  When you finally get one on the first try, be prepared to make that run count.

Run left and get the circle of 6 rings within your attract radius, then continue forward.  Through the curved hallway, get the 6 in the small room for 12.  In  the large room, climb up on the center structure (with the mystic shrine) and get the 8 rings there.  Glide forward and right, climbing the pillar.

Run right and get the circle of 6 rings within your attract radius, then go left for 6 more, and continue in this direction.  Through the curved hallway, get the 6 in the small room for 18.  In  the large room, climb up on the center structure (with the mystic shrine) and get the 8 rings there.  Glide forward and right, climbing the pillar.

Normally it takes 3-4 jumps and lands to get this big circle of 24 rings.  Thanks to your lightning shield, you can do it in 1.  Jump as high as you can, and glide counterclockwise around the circle, making sure to attract all the rings therein.  When you're done getting all the rings, glide right to the wooden box on the wall and break it, getting 20 rings to go to 64.

Continue through the path, getting the 6 rings before the next curved hallway.  Into the green room, get 6 more rings at the entrance.  Go to the other side of the room.  You only need 2 rings from this circle, for 78.  Get them with your shield and head up a level along the path to the blue room.  There are 12 rings in the hallway, then the table on your left has a wooden box with the final 10.  If you're on Dreamcast, you can Screw Kick next to the table for a quick grab; GameCube players have to jump onto the table and kick backwards into the box.

Continue through the path, getting the 6 rings before the next curved hallway.  Into the green room, get 6 more rings at the entrance.  Go to the other side of the room.  There's another circle here, for 88.  Get them with your shield and head up a level along the path to the blue room.  There are 12 rings in the hallway to get to an even 100.  If you somehow missed one or more, the wooden box on the table to your left in the wider hallway has 10 more rings.
