Walkthrough
  1. 1
    In Scalding Gallows, look for a red crystal on a pillar in front of a building. Hit it with your cross-blade to create a ramp, then climb up to open a chest containing the third piece of the Abyssal Armour Set [3/10].

  5. 5
    Ride the fan blade and hop off when you can reach the doorway on the west side of the room.

  7. 7
    In The Drowned Pass, dive into the water and check the small tunnel behind the waterfall on the north side for Artefact: Soldier.

  9. 9
    Look behind the rocks on the opposite side of the pool for a Blue Soul Chest.

    Swim into the northernmost building in the water and climb the stairs to find another Artefact: Soldier. Surface and find an entrance to the northernmost structure. Look inside for a Blue Soul Chest.

    Shadow Challenge Arena 5: Defend the undead soldiers for 5 minutes against increasingly difficult enemies. Stay near your allies and eliminate threats closest to them.

    Shadow Challenge Arena 6: Defeat 15 enemies using environmental objects. Soften enemies with a few hits, then use cars to inflict fatal damage.
  14. 14
    Shadow Challenge Arena 7: Kill 30 enemies with Chaos Form. Use Chaos Form immediately and kill as many as possible. When your chaos meter depletes, use finishers to recharge it and unleash Chaos Form again.
  15. 15
    Shadow Challenge Arena 8: Kill 5 enemies with counter-attacks. Hit an enemy until the action button appears, then wait for their attack and press the block button at the right time to counter and kill them.
  16. 16
    After completing the four challenges, return to the Gatekeeper and use the Earthcaller to wake it up. It will award you the fifth piece of the Abyssal Armour Set [5/10].
