Get Your Fortune Told

From the entrance, go east and you find a cloaked figure on a spring. You can pay them 100 coins to go back to the world map. For now, just go northeast from the spring to reach the next room.

Hit the chest to get 50 coins. Then talk to the cloaked figure, and say yes to pay 50 coins to have your fortune told, and they will tell you to hit the three faces on the wall, but before you do, be aware that the order that you hit them is what determines the reward you receive See the table below for the different orders to hit the faces and the rewards you get. In short, if you want coins, hit the right face first; if you want to fight, hit the middle face first; if you want items, hit the left face first.

This guide recommends hitting the face on the right, then the face in the middle, then the face on the left. After you hit the three faces on the wall, a stack of bricks will fall from above, with your fortune on top. Jump onto the bricks, read the fortune, then jump up to the ledge above, and go northeast to the next room.

Go down the pipe at the northeast end of this room. If there is a treasure chest here, hit it to get your reward, and the gate will open. If there are enemies, you have to defeat them to open the gate.

Go through the gate and there will be a one-time chest that contains 150 coins, and another one-time chest that contains a Frog Coin. Go northeast from there to the next room.

Hit the face on the wall to see a message from Belome. If the message says "Mmm, I'm so hungry! Wish I had something to eat," go southeast and jump onto the yellow tile to go down below, go southeast to the next room. If it says "Sorry, I'm not accepting visitors past my bedtime," the yellow tile just takes you to a dead end (which you can unlock later), so you will have to go back the way you came, and pay to get your fortune told again. You can avoid losing money if you hit the face on the right, then the face in the middle, then the face on the left. When you get the "Mmm, I'm so hungry!" message, jump onto the yellow tile to go down below, go southeast to the next room.

If there is a pipe in the next room, go down it, then talk to Belome to start the Belome Temple boss battle.
