SIVA Cluster: Iron Lords 2.9

SIVA Cluster: Fallen 3.0
- Mission / Area: King of the Mountain
- Location: Play through the level until you reach an area with an unreachable tower in the distance with a caged metal sphere at the top. A Fallen ship will fly low to the ground — use the ruins on the cliff to jump on top of this ship and ride it as it passes by the tower.
