Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After a scene, a door on the right unlocks. Proceed across the bridge and into the hallway.
  2. 2
    Encounter a lich; focus on defeating it while managing summoned skeletons. Avoid getting too close to avoid its ground slam attack.
  3. 3
    After the lich is dead, proceed through the next door. At the end of the corridor, use the summoning circle and go through the nearby door.
  4. 4
    Use your Dead Lord buddy to activate the switch across the gap. Cross the rising bridge to the center platform.
  5. 5
    Head south on the platform and use the dead lord to activate the pressure plate across the gap.
  6. 6
    Switch to your Death Grip and use it on the dead lord to pull yourself across the remaining distance of the partially raised bridge.
  7. 7
    In the right-hand corner, find a chest containing the dungeon map. Grab the lantern from the ledge using Death Grip.
  8. 8
    To the left of where the lantern was, find a small hole in the wall with a bomb plant. Use this to destroy crystals, which will raise the other side of the bridge.
  9. 9
    Grab the lantern and return to the center of the room. Give the statue the lantern. Rotate it once to the left to open a gate leading to a chest.
  10. 10
    Grab the chest, then return to the middle area and rotate the statue 180 degrees.
  11. 11
    Have the Dead Lord use the pressure plate across the gap to the north. Enter the door and proceed through the door at the end of the next hallway into a circular room.
  12. 12
    Drop into the water and find a Relic of Khagoth across the opposite side of the room, beneath a platform's supports.
  13. 13
    Return to the entrance and use the nearby block to start a platforming section. Follow handholds and Death Grip chains to reach the top of the room.
  14. 14
    Run to the cage and use the action button to collect your first soul.
  15. 15
    Kill the lich and the two skeletal champions that appear.
  16. 16
    Consult your map and drop down to the platform with the chest. Fall the rest of the way and backtrack to the Judicator.
  17. 17
    Talk to the Judicator for a scene, after which he will unlock the next door. Proceed through this door and across the bridge.
  18. 18
    Inside, you will find a locked skull door. A scene will play, opening some gates and initiating a fight against undead prowlers.
  19. 19
    After defeating the prowlers, four skeletal champions will spawn. Defeat them to face a mini-boss.
  20. 20
    Defeat The Tormentor mini-boss.
  21. 21
    Head through the now open doorway and climb the stairs opposite to the door at the top.
  22. 22
    Use the summoning circle and have the Dead Lord activate the pressure plate in the Northeast corner. This will flip wall sections.
  23. 23
    Wallrun across to the second block. Instead of jumping again, let the Dead Lord run until he drops, landing you on a platform with a chest.
  24. 24
    Wallrun towards the platform with the Dead Lord and use Death Grip on him to pull yourself across. Enter the nearby passageway.
  25. 25
    Turn left to find a Book of the Dead page. Turn around and use Death Grip to cross the gap.
  26. 26
    Throw the switch at the top and head to the open gate nearby, killing any skeletons.
  27. 27
    Follow the balcony to the left to find a chest containing the skeleton key. Continue to the other end of the room for another chest.
  28. 28
    Return to the previous room and drop down the hole next to the lever.
  29. 29

    Grab the nearby ring to start a platforming sequence. Continue along using hooks and handholds until you reach the top of the tower.
