Deeper within the tower, you'll find yourself in a complex clockwork mechanism. This section features numerous gears, rotating platforms, and crushing pistons. Gears can be used as platforms, but they often move, requiring precise timing. Pistons will attempt to crush you; observe their patterns and move through the gaps. New enemies include Clockwork Knights, which are heavily armored and move predictably. Hit them from behind or use powerful sub-weapons. There are also Electric Orbs that float around, dealing damage on contact. The Holy Water can be useful for clearing paths on the ground, and the Axe can hit enemies above or below you. This area demands patience and careful observation of environmental hazards. A hidden Meat item can be found in a breakable wall near the end of this section, crucial for preparing for the boss.
