Amteca, The Golden City(Japanese: 黄金都市) is an ancient city originally under the protection of the The Golden Condor and the guardian deity, the Chief God of the Beast Gods, Riva. On the night of the 300th moon, an evil creature that ate gold appeared. The Golden Condor was bound by the Cords of Hell. Bereft of protection from the sacred bird, the city was dealt a catastrophic blow. Devastated by the corruption of the Tainted Insect, the people of the Golden City met their end with their city and plead for some future savior to set free the Golden Condor.
Exclusive to the Nintendo DS remake and mobile port, the player can get through this dungeon after completing the Main Story.

Amteca, the Golden City This city is rich in the brightest gold, bathed in the light of the sacred bird.
This is Amteca, the Golden City. The city was built atop this mount protected by its Guardian Deity, Riva, and the Golden Condor.
On the night of the 300th moon, an evil creature that ate gold suddenly appeared. The Golden Condor was bound by the Cords of Hell. Bereft of protection from the sacred bird, the city was dealt a catastrophic blow.
We now fall, together with our city. May the creature, glutted with our gold, die as well. In some distant future, should someone gaze upon this... He shall be the chose one, from across the valley and the three protective barriers.
May he hear our plea. Set free the Golden Condor!
The Golden Condor awaits you in the Waterfall Cavern beyond the Rainbow's End.
The Golden Condor shall be freed when the cords that bind it are severed. But only once the creature therein has died can they be severed.
Tainted Path Entrance
