The Grand Hallway is a long, horizontal stretch filled with a relentless assault of enemies. You'll encounter Knights, heavily armored foes that move slowly but take many hits. The Axe is effective against them, hitting their heads. Medusa Heads are also abundant, making precise jumps difficult. Fleamen will jump from above, and Gargoyles will swoop in. This area is designed to drain your health and hearts before the final boss. Prioritize avoiding damage and only engage when necessary. The Holy Water can be useful for clearing ground enemies, and the Cross for screen-clearing. There are often hidden Pot Roasts in the walls of this area, so whip every suspicious block. Conserve your hearts for the upcoming boss fights.
