Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head forward and encounter Graham. After a brief conversation where Graham's attitude changes upon learning about Soma's power, he flees to the throne room.

    Continue left and enter the room Graham just left. Defeat the Harpy enemy and farm its soul.
  3. 3
    Proceed down through two rooms, avoiding spikes and rotating gears.
  4. 4
    In the next room, defeat the Lightning Doll and farm its soul. Continue to the bottom where a Golem awaits; defeat it.
  5. 5
    Head right to another room with a Lightning Doll and Medusa Heads. Farm both souls. Note the wooden flooring that collapses over spikes and the save room to the right.
  6. 6
    Use the save room and proceed through the left exit. Encounter Yoko, discuss the encounter with Graham, and she departs. A Disc Armor will now be present in this room.
  7. 7
    Take the left exit to a wooden platform leading down to a water-filled area. Continue left to find the Bomber Armor; farm its soul.

    Head back out and ascend, defeating a Lightning Doll and a Harpy. Continue, defeating a Bomber Armor.

    Near the top, encounter the Gremlin. Farm its soul using the top right exit for quick respawns.

    Continue right to find a Lightning Doll in the bottom right; farm it for $2000. Be aware of Golden Medusas that can petrify you.
  14. 14

  15. 15
    The left path leads to Harpies and a Siren, then the TOP FLOOR (currently a dead end). Instead, head UP.

    To the right is the Great Armor. Farm its soul if you haven't already. A save room is available further right.
  17. 17
    Continue right, defeating three Harpies. A boss door is at the top left. Enter the save room to the right to prepare for the boss battle.
  18. 18
