Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Enter The Scar from The Charred Pass. Climb the building, use Death Grip to jump to a pole, and then jump backward to a platform to grab a Boatman’s Coin.
  2. 2
    Continue up the stairs and to the door. Before entering, shoot a crystal in a broken pipe above and to the north for a Stone of Power.
  3. 3
    Enter the door and descend the stairs. To the right, wallrun along the wall to the north to find a hidden chest beneath the stairs.
  4. 4
    Return to the previous platform and open the door. After a scene, fight the tainted constructs.
  5. 5
    Go through the opening, follow the hallway, and drop down the hole. Destroy the stinger nest immediately.
  6. 6
    Wallrun down the hall to the left, turn left into a circular room.
  7. 7
    After a scene, the ground will fall, and lava will rise. Use handholds, blocks, Death Grip rings, and wall running to reach the top quickly.
  8. 8
    At the top, go through the door on the right. Run across the room and activate the golem. Kill the spawning tainted constructs.
  9. 9
    Drive the golem west across the lava to the next platform. Kill the tainted constructs there.
  10. 10
    Roll past a socket to destroy yellow crystals in the corridor. Return to the socket and extend a chain to the target across the room to the west.
  11. 11
    Cross the chain. Near the end, turn left and use Death Grip to swing to the platform above.
  12. 12
    Climb the stairs and use Death Grip rings to swing to the opposite side. Wallrun off the left wall, around the corner, and use the Death Grip ring at the end of the wall run to access the platform above.
  13. 13
    Grab the chest for a Skeleton Key and a Boatman’s Coin. Turn around and wallrun along the left wall to reach handholds. Follow them to a platform with a Book of the Dead page.
  14. 14
    Return to the platform with the chest. Jump down onto the golem’s chain below and return to the golem.
  15. 15
    Enter the hallway previously cleared of yellow crystals and go through the door. Death Grip across the gap and enter the door directly in front of you. Kill the tainted constructs.
  16. 16
    On the eastern side of the platform, wallrun along the southern wall to reach a platform across the lava pit. Round the corner and use the Skeleton Key to unlock the door.
  17. 17
    Enter the room with three sinking stone columns. Quickly move across them, following the handholds and using Death Grip rings to jump to the next.
  18. 18
    On the final platform, jump down to the platform below. Climb up and go through the door.
  19. 19
    Kill the tainted constructs. To the right of the entrance door, climb handholds to a room containing a chest.
  20. 20
    Drop down and head into the room to the south. After a scene, kill the tainted champion and its constructs.
  21. 21
    In the northwest corner, climb blocks to a handhold. Wallrun right and around the room to a platform with a switch. Pull the switch to open three gates below.
  22. 22
    Hop down and defeat the tainted constructs. Grab the chest for a Dungeon Map. Power up the golem.
  23. 23
    Ride the golem north and destroy crystals to the right. In the next room, head left and place the golem in a socket to lower a gate.
  24. 24
    Wallrun along the left wall, using handholds to navigate the room, avoiding lava. Climb to the platform at the end and rotate the switch until a scene plays.
  25. 25
    Look behind and to the right to find a cave. Follow it and open the chest at the end. Drop down and re-mount the golem.
  26. 26
    Ride the golem through the lava to the eastern side. Park it in a socket to spawn a target. Shoot the target and run up the chain, dodging molten rock.
  27. 27
    At the end of the chain, turn left and Death Grip up to the platform. Rotate the switch until a scene plays. The gate will open.
  28. 28
    Return to the golem and ride it through the middle of the room and through the gate. Jump off the golem and climb the wall to the left.
  29. 29
    Drop down on the other side of the gate and kill all enemies (three waves). The gate will open.
  30. 30
    Jump back on the golem and drive it across the lava pit. On the far platform, destroy yellow crystals to the right to lower a bridge.
  31. 31
    Roll the golem across the bridge. At the end, turn left and place it in the socket. Shoot the target across the lava.
  32. 32
    Jump on the chain and cross. Look for a Death Grip ring in a hole in the wall halfway across the gap. Jump to it and climb to a handhold.
  33. 33
    Reach the platform, Death Grip across the gap, and open the chest. Drop back down to the chain and follow it to the end. Jump.
Tips
  • Use Death Grip extensively for traversal across gaps and to reach higher platforms.
  • Wallrunning is crucial for covering distances and reaching specific areas.
  • Activate golems to clear paths, destroy obstacles (like yellow crystals), and transport yourself across lava.
  • Be prepared for combat after activating certain mechanisms or entering new areas, as tainted constructs frequently spawn.
  • Pay attention to environmental hazards like rising lava and molten rock.
  • Look for hidden chests and collectibles, often requiring precise platforming or exploration off the main path.
