[INT!] Introduction
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Outland is a 2-D sidescroller game released for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
This guide is applicable to both versions of the game, as there is no
difference between them except for the obvious (controls, etc.).
This Mark of the Gods guide is an offshoot of my main Outland guide. I realize
that some people just want to find all of the Mark of the Gods items and that
it can be very difficult to do that when looking through a giant guide that is
meant for the entire single player campaign. I created this guide in order to
help those people. :-)
Thank you for checking this guide out and I hope that it helps you.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ORI!] Origin Levels
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1-1] The Story Begins
-=- 1st and 2nd Mark of the Gods
In each level, there are secret items known as Marks of the Gods. They look
like floating, golden helmets that spin in the air. Each of these offer
different rewards and are completely optional and not needed to beat the game.
I will point them out if you can get to them though.
The first Mark of the Gods is in a very obvious spot near the beginning of the
level. You just have to do a bit of jumping and you will grab it easily. The
second is further on in the level. Eventually you will reach a part of the
level where there are three ladders, one at the top left of your screen, one at
the top right, and one at the bottom right. If you climb the top right ladder,
you'll find the second Mark of the Gods for this level.
-=- The Story Begins Video Guide Link:

[1-2] Rites of Passage
-=- 1st Mark of the Gods
After getting the ground slide ability, there is a spot in this level where you
can use the ground slide to find a Mark of the Gods. To your left will be a
light spirit energy launcher that is shooting energy in the shape of a blue
circle; to your right will be your spirit guide and a burrowed spider. In the
middle of that area is a section of lower ground; in the lower right of that is
a small hole which can be slid through using the ground slide. Down there you
will find some vases to break, a few enemies, and a Mark of the Gods at the
end.
-=- 2nd Mark of the Gods
The second Mark of the Gods will require some backtracking through the level
after you receive the ground sliding ability. You'll need to go left through
the tunnel with two sets of proximity spikes (which you just need to slide
past). After leaving the tunnel, there is a ladder immediately above you. Climb
the ladder. At the top of the ladder is a room with a Mark of the Gods item and
a light spirit energy launcher guarding it. The room is blocked off by a stone
wall; you can slide under the stone wall through the gap underneath it though.

[1-3] Crossroads of the World (and 30,000 Years Ago)
-=- 1st Mark of the Gods (Ground Stomp)
You will not be able to get the first Mark of the Gods until you get the ground
stomp ability. After you return to Crossroads of the World from the golem
fight, drop down to the right of the large shrine and head to the left. There
you will see a stone floor that can be broken with your ground stomp ability.
After traveling through the area you will find a few vases along with a Mark of
the Gods item.

http://blip.tv/file/5077656
-=- 2nd Mark of the Gods (Launch Pad, City)
The second Mark of the Gods is hidden in the top left section of the Crossroads
of the World. The only way to get to it is to have the launch pad ability,
which is not immediately available at the start of the game. Moreover, the top
left area isn't available from the start of the game either (it's the entrance
to the City levels). After using the launch pads (which are the green circles),
you can head over to the far right, drop down, then head to the right again to
find the Mark of the Gods.

http://blip.tv/file/5118949
-=- 3rd Mark of the Gods (Launch Pad, Sky)
The third and final Mark of the Gods is in the upper-right-middle section of
the Crossroads of the World (which is also where the Sky levels entrance is).
Just as before, you will need to have the launch pad ability unlocked. Use the
dark platform to head up, then launch to the right on the large platform. After
that, just launch straight up a series of launch pads and the Mark of the Gods
will be sitting on a ledge to your right.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[JUN!] Jungle Levels
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2-1] Jungle Lowlands
-=- Mark of the Gods
Using the very same yellow platform mentioned above, wait until you reach the
maximum height of the platform's movement and jump to the right. There you will
find not only two small vases, but also a Mark of the Gods item.
-=- Jungle Lowlands Video Guide Link:
http://blip.tv/file/5076718
[2-2] The Cursed Forest
-=- 1st Mark of the Gods
After reaching a checkpoint and jumping up two light floating platforms, drop
down the long hole (rather than proceeding to the far left). At the end of the
cavern you will find a Mark of the Gods.
-=- 2nd Mark of the Gods
Backtrack to the two light platforms (which have a checkpoint sitting directly
next to the rightmost platform). From there, jump up to the right where the
light spirit energy barrier is sitting. From there, you can head up to the far
upper right area of the level by jumping on some floating platforms; this leads
to the Mark of the Gods.
-=- The Cursed Forest Video Guide Link:
http://blip.tv/file/5076997
[2-3] Jungle Highlands
-=- Backtracking: 1st Mark of the Gods
You more than likely noticed this closed-off area the first time that you
played through this level. It's in the bottom right corner of the level (above
the door leading to the next level) and you will need the ground pound ability
to get to it. After doing that, just head a little to the left, wall jump, and
grab the Mark of the Gods. You can also drop down a little further to grab some
coins.
1st Mark of the Gods in Jungle Highlands Video Guide Link:
http://blip.tv/file/5121355
-=- Backtracking: 2nd Mark of the Gods + SECRET LEVEL!
Immediately to the right of the teleporter is a dark-aligned switch and door;
obviously you will need dark spirit alignment to proceed. Throughout the next
few parts you will encounter enemies and traps (which I won't mention further).
First you will ground pound a stone floor and fall down the hole. Heading down,
you will find a second stone floor to ground pound. In the bottom right corner
of the next room are two small vases; next to the vases is a wall you can break
down with your weapon (first breakable wall). Next up are four small vases and
a charge wall, which leads to the second Mark of the Gods in the Jungle
Highlands.
But wait! Underneath the small vases is a third stone floor that you can ground
pound. This will lead you to a small room with plenty of coins. In the right
corner of this room is a second breakable wall that you can strike with your
weapon. Head down and you will find a door that leads to the secret level!

[2-4] Above the Canopy
-=- 1st Mark of the Gods
In the upper middle portion of the map, there are a few floating light
platforms which move up or down when you stand on them; surrounding the
platforms are lots of spikes. There is one area where there are two platforms
which go down and platform in between them that goes up (into some ceiling
spikes). If you jump onto the rightmost platform, you can wall-jump up and head
to the left to find a Mark of the Gods.
-=- Above the Canopy Video Guide Link:
http://blip.tv/file/5077393
-=- Backtracking: 2nd Mark of the Gods
In the lower-middle section of the level, there are several dark-aligned
flowers. Just to the right of them is an area with a floating dark platform.
Just like the 2nd life upgrade above, you will need dark spirit alignment in
order to reach this item. After jumping onto the dark platform, jump to the
right onto a light platform. After that, you can continue jumping up until you
reach the second Mark of the Gods item for Above the Canopy.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[UND!] Underworld Levels
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[3-1] The World Beneath
-=- Crossroads of the World: Mark of the Gods
After you return to Crossroads of the World from the golem fight, drop down to
the right of the large shrine and head to the left. There you will see a stone
floor that can be broken with your ground stomp ability. After traveling
through the area you will find a few vases along with a Mark of the Gods item.
-=- 1st Mark of the Gods
At one point in the level you will be standing on a black floating platform
(stationary, not moving) and there will be a burrow bug on the right side of
it. On both sides of the screen at this position will be two ladders. Above the
platform you will see two small vases. If you wall-jump up to that area, not
only can you grab the vases, but you can wall-jump again to a higher area and
find a Mark of the Gods.
-=- The World Beneath Video Guide Link:
http://blip.tv/file/5077656
-=- Backtracking: 2nd Mark of the Gods, Life Upgrade, and Money Vases!
In the bottom middle section of the level is a raised area that is only
accessible by using the two launch pads; up there you will find a money vase,
and even more money vases behind a breakable wall.
In the very top portion of the level is an another area that is only accessible
by using launch pads. This will lead you to the 2nd Mark of the Gods, some
money vases, and a life upgrade near the end.

http://blip.tv/file/5121802
[3-2] Lost Passageways
-=- Mark of the Gods
In the upper middle portion of the level, you will see a jellyfish enemy. Next
to the jellyfish is a torch, and above the torch is a platform. If you wall-
jump up to that platform, you can jump over to a Mark of the Gods to the right.
-=- Lost Passageways Video Guide Link:
http://blip.tv/file/5077915
[3-3] Crypt of the Ancients
-=- Mark of the Gods
If you keep heading to the far right of the level (rather than going to the
left and heading through the middle of the level) you will find a hole you can
drop into. At the end of that area is a multi-spirit launcher, as well as a
Mark of the Gods.
-=- Crypt of the Ancients Video Guide Link:
http://blip.tv/file/5080971
[3-4] The Buried Empire
-=- Mark of the Gods
In the upper left portion of the level, you will reach a floating yellow
platform which will take you up. Don't go there yet though; instead, jump all
the way to the left and fall. This will drop you into a narrow area with a Mark
of the Gods.
-=- The Buried Empire Video Guide Link:
http://blip.tv/file/5081268
[3-5] The Underground River
-=- Mark of the Gods
After the above, you will come to a room with two platforms (and will probably
see the spirit guide sitting on a ledge to the upper left). If you wall jump to
the upper right, you will find a Mark of the Gods.
-=- The Underground River Video Guide Link:
http://blip.tv/file/5081593
[3-6] City of the Dead
-=- Mark of the Gods
Near the beginning of the level there is an area that is shaped like an "8" on
that map. At the top of the eight is a Mark of the Gods. You'll need to be
aware of your spirit alignment, because there are a set of light and dark
launchers on both sides of the Mark of the Gods.
-=- City of the Dead Video Guide Link:
http://blip.tv/file/5081686
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[CIT!] City Levels
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[4-1] The City Walls
-=- Sliding Past Vases: Mark of the Gods
You will reach a room with some dark and light platforms above you. In the
lower right corner, you will see a couple of small vases. If you slide past
these vases you can slide under the wall to reach a Mark of the Gods.
-=- The City Walls Video Guide Link:
http://blip.tv/file/5081867
[4-2] The Marketplace
-=- Treasure and Mark of the Gods
In the structure during the first section of this level, if you wall-jump up
the narrow area in the middle you can reach the upper floor. To the left are
several treasure vases; to the left is a breakable floor that gives access to a
Mark of the Gods.
-=- The Marketplace Video Guide Link:
http://blip.tv/file/5082023
[4-3] The Ministry
-=- 1st Mark of the Gods
In the room with the dark and light spirit cubes (the first one), if you make
your way up to the upper left, you'll find a small space you can slide into
which has a Mark of the Gods.
-=- The Ministry Video Guide Link:
http://blip.tv/file/5082687
-=- Backtracking: 2nd Mark of the Gods
Around the top-middle of the level is a checkpoint; to the right of that
checkpoint is a launch pad, which can take you to the top of the level. There
you will find the second Mark of the Gods.

http://blip.tv/file/5121678
[4-4] The Maze
-=- Mark of the Gods
After dropping through narrow opening and falling right on top of a checkpoint,
there, you will be near the entrance of a large room to the left with spike
pits on the ground. If you wall jump to the right of the checkpoint, there is a
Mark of the Gods waiting for you.
-=- The Maze Video Guide Link (Part 1):
http://blip.tv/file/5082767
[4-5] The Flower Gardens
-=- Mark of the Gods
There is a wall jumping area which has vertical light platforms on the left and
vertical dark platforms on the right. In the raised space above those vertical
platforms is a Mark of the Gods. You will need to switch your spirit alignment
in the middle of wall jumping in order to wall jump off of both sets of
platforms.
-=- The Flower Gardens video Guide Link:
http://blip.tv/file/5083195
[4-6] The Forgotten Quarter
-=- Mark of the Gods
Near the bottom left of the level is a room with a spirit trap that launches
rings of both dark and light energy. Immediately to the right of that room is a
Mark of the Gods in a narrow slit of a room. Can you guess how to get it?
That's right, you need to ground pound! Er, I mean you need to wall jump.
-=- Forgotten Quarter Video Guide Link (Part 1):

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[SKY!] Sky Levels
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[5-1] The Ice Cave
-=- Backtracking: Mark of the Gods
To the right of the green healing crystal is an area you can wall jump up; to
the left of that is a light platform. Above the light platform is a series of
launch pads. Use the launch pads and you will find the sole Marke of the Gods
on this level.

http://blip.tv/file/5121873
[5-2] Proving Grounds
-=- Mark of the Gods
While moving to the left, you will eventually come upon a vertical room with a
spike pit. Above the spike pit is a light platform which activates if you step
on it with light alignment. To the right of the platform is an exploding
armadillo waiting to, well, explode on you. If you use the light platform, you
can jump to the left at the top and find a Mark of the Gods.
-=- Proving Grounds Video Guide Link:
http://blip.tv/file/5084622
[5-3] Holy Mountain
-=- Backtracking to Launch Pads: Mark of the Gods
In the left side of the map is a single launch pad which couldn't be used
before. If you use it and do some wall jumping, you'll find a Mark of the Gods
(past the flower to the right).
-=- Return to Holy Mountain Video Guide Link:
http://blip.tv/file/5085553
[5-4] The Haunted Hills
-=- Mark of the Gods
Right after you get the launch ability, you can use it to launch yourself up to
the upper right section of the level and find a ledge with a Mark of the Gods.
-=- The Haunted Hills Video Guide Link (Part 2):
http://blip.tv/file/5085458
[5-5] The Mist-Shrouded Forest
-=- Launch Pad -> 1st Mark of the Gods
Near the beginning of the level is a room filled with spikes that you can drop
into. There is also a launch pad and a Mark of the Gods. The basic idea is: use
the launch pad to launch to the right (which grabs the Mark of the Gods), wall
jump back to the launch pad to the left, then use the launch pad to launch up.
-=- 2nd Mark of the Gods
If you travel to the left from the top of the dark platform's movement
(mentioned above), you will find a Mark of the Gods tucked away in the corner.
-=- 3rd Mark of the Gods
After hitting the switch mentioned above, you can make your way to the left.
Before going back up to the upper level and entering the newly opened door, you
should jump up the platforms in the bottom middle room of the map. If you use
the launch pad to launch yourself to the square platform to the left, you will
find a Mark of the Gods.
-=- The Mist-Shrouded Forest Video Guide Link:
http://blip.tv/file/5085699
[5-6] Dark Fortress
-=- Wait, there's more! -> 1st Mark of the Gods
This Mark of the Gods is in a very difficult location; most people will either
pass it by completely the first time around or even just accidently find it by
complete chance. Using the launch pads in the area with many spirit traps, if
you jump straight up from the middle launch pad you will find a hidden area
that only reveals itself after you enter it. Tucked away in this small room is
the 1st Mark of the Gods. After that you can drop down to the middle launch pad
and launch yourself to the right.

http://blip.tv/file/5117357
-=- 2nd Mark of the Gods
In the area to the right of the second door switch are a couple of launch pads.
Use these to launch up towards the 2nd Mark of the Gods and wall jump off the
right wall.

[ETE!] Eternity Levels
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[6-1] At the Shores of Time
-=- Mark of the Gods
If you wall jump up the narrow area in the upper left section of the level, you
can jump over to the right and find a Mark of the Gods.
-=- At the Shores of Time Video Guide Link:
http://blip.tv/file/5086131
[6-2] Tower of Eternity
-=- Mark of the Gods
In the upper left room of the level is a Mark of the Gods. This room is reached
by using the two launch pads in the air to the left of it.
-=- Tower of Eternity Video Guide Link:
http://blip.tv/file/5086211
[6-3] Trail of Tears
-=- Mark of the Gods: The Best Item Ever
In the upper left section of the level are some platforms to jump across. If
you drop to the platform that's below (and in between) the first and second
platforms, you'll find a Mark of the Gods. This is no ordinary Mark of the Gods
though! This one grants you the ability to see all of the treasure vases on the
map. Wow! It's too bad it comes so late in the game.
-=- Trail of Tears Video Guide Link:
http://blip.tv/file/5086279
[6-4] The End of All Things
-=- Mark of the Gods
Using the launch pads that are above the light and dark spike traps, you can
launch up to the higher part of the room and find a Mark of the Gods.
