Themes and Navigation
The Temple of the Ocean King is a recurring PH:, as it is explored at least five times throughout the adventure, each time allowing further exploration. The PH: contains a curse which gradually drains the life from whoever enters it; after the first journey into the PH: is complete, PH: obtains the PH: from an altar on the ground floor, allowing him to spend time in the PH: without taking damage, so long as PH: remains in the PH:. With the exception of the third and the final journey, each of PH:'s expeditions through the PH: are in search of PH:; on the penultimate journey it is possible (and advisable) to collect two PH: on the same trip. The only enemies within the PH: are the various NaN Phantoms, the NaN Phantom Eyes, which alert the NaN Phantoms to PH: and impede his movement, NaN Wizzrobes, which steal some of PH:'s PH: if they hit him, and two rooms full of minor enemies on floor B5. There are a total of thirteen basement floors in the PH: in addition to the ground floor.

Each time PH: exits the PH:, its puzzles are reset. However, gaining new items also opens up new paths through the PH:, allowing PH: to find new NaN Treasure Chests or shortcuts.

After the PH: is cleared, PH: reveals that he is actually the Ocean King himself. He was sealed by PH:, but created the alter ego of PH:. The Ocean King explains that PH: dwells on the final floor of the PH:, absorbing more and more Life Force over time.

After PH: receives the PH:, he may participate in a time trial within the PH:. At the end, he is awarded with two NaN Ship Parts, the rarity of which is determined by how much time is remaining in the PH:. Because of the many golden NaN Jars scattered throughout the PH:, which, when broken, restore some time to the PH:, as well as the time restored by defeating NaN Wizzrobes, it is possible to reach the final room with a net time of 0:00.
