    After completing Act 1: Glimmers of the Vigilant Yaksha, activate Elemental Sight (press [L1+Left D-PAD] on PlayStation).

    Follow the purple line revealed by Elemental Sight to find Xiao.
  3. 3
    After the cutscene, follow Xiao into the Karma-Heavy Cavern Domain.

    In the cavern, your health will constantly deplete due to the 'Bane of All Evil' effect. Sprint between enemies and defeat them quickly to regenerate health.
  5. 5
    Utilize Xiao's abilities: use his Elemental Skill ([R2/RB]) to dash away from danger, then hold his Elemental Burst ([Circle/B]) to launch enemies into the air for safe attacks.
  6. 6
    Defeat the first group of enemies and open the Chest.
  7. 7
    Proceed deeper into the cavern and use the floating pads to reach higher areas.
  8. 8
    Hit the pedestal to spawn another wave of enemies and defeat them.

    Jump on more floating pads to reach the end of the area.

    Defeat the final group of enemies and collect the last Chest before leaving the domain after the concluding cutscene.
Tips
  • Constantly move and engage enemies to manage the health drain from 'Bane of All Evil'.
  • Xiao's dash ([R2/RB]) is crucial for evasion, and his charged attack ([Circle/B]) allows for safe aerial combat.
  • Be sure to open all chests found within the domain.
