Ruins of Alph: blocked grass and Silver's door
Can’t get past the grass or enter the door where Silver is waiting? The green patch beside the north-east ruin is solid scenery. You can’t walk through it. Go around the large ruin immediately south of the doorway and approach from the east (right).
-
Start at the blocked green patch. Step left onto the main path, then head south (down). Keep left of the person beside the large ruin.

-
Go around the bottom of the large ruin. Turn east (right) below it, toward the path beside the trees.

-
Follow the eastern path north (up). Continue around the right side of the ruins toward the narrow passage.

-
Turn west (left) toward the door, then walk north into it. This is the Kabuto-puzzle chamber where you meet Silver.

Silver isn’t inside? Speak to the Research Center assistant, then ask both Gold and Crystal about Molly, answering Yes to each. See the missing Molly story steps.
The blocked shortcut is also present in the original Chinese hack. The route above was walked successfully in the English version.
