Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After returning from the memory, proceed to the room with the resting mistle. You can return to base if needed.
  2. 2
    Teleport to the Howling Pits entrance, speak to Daryl, defeat the marked enemy, and report back to him to complete the side quest.
  3. 3
    Teleport to the Dried Up Trenches entrance and give the 'Damage Report' item to Gustav.
  4. 4
    Continue through the Cathedral: teleport to the furthest point, go up the first ladder, then the second to find a chest (5).
  5. 5
    Go down the second ladder, follow the path to a room with stairs going up and a ladder going down. Take the stairs up.
  6. 6
    Follow the path to a room with two other paths. Take the remaining path to a ladder going down.
  7. 7
    Follow this path to a room where you see a corrupted mistle across a gap. To the left, in a smaller room, are two ladders: one up, one down.
  8. 8
    Go up the first ladder, then another ladder to reach a roof with two enemies and a chest (6) containing a key.
  9. 9
    Backtrack to the fork with the stairs and the ladder going down. Take the ladder going down.
  10. 10
    Follow the path to a room that triggers an invasion. Survive to get a Pure Blood item from inside a pillar.
  11. 11
    Return to the fork with the two ladders and go all the way down.
  12. 12
    Follow the linear path until you reach a room with a lever-operated door. Ahead is another door, but the path has a locked door. Walk inside the pillar of the next room and go down the stairs.
  13. 13
    Follow the path to another staircase going up.
  14. 14
    Follow the path to a room with another staircase inside a pillar; go up.
  15. 15
    Follow the path to a room with two enemies. Look down the hole to find a Vestige (11). Drop down to collect it.
  16. 16
    Return to the place you jumped from and follow the path ahead to a room with stairs in the pillar. Go all the way up and drop down the doorway.
  17. 17
    Follow the path to a corrupted mistle. Purify it to map the area.
  18. 18
    Follow the path to a resting mistle.
  19. 19
    The door here is locked, so take the other path. Use the ladder to go up and lower another ladder on the roof.
  20. 20
    Open the door to your left (requires the shoddy key). Drop down into the hole, then into one of the doors.
  21. 21
    Locate the path with an enemy glowing red. Defeat this enemy to map the area. Break the boxes for another Vestige (8).
  22. 22
    Take the other path to a corrupted mistle. Purify it to map the area further.
  23. 23
    Go down the ladder to a chest containing the ornate key.
  24. 24
    Return to the door you opened with the lever. There was another door after the room you entered; return to that door to open it.
  25. 25
    Walk through the path to a resting mistle. Rest here, preparing for the boss fight.
  26. 26
    After a scene with Leda, if pursuing any ending other than the bad one, restore ALL acquired vestiges (either here or at base).
  27. 27
    Enter the boss room for a scene and battle. Note: Vestiges cannot be viewed after this point if not seen previously.

Boss Fight: Successor of the Ribcage

  • TL;DR: This boss is relatively easy, especially with a strength build and Yakumo as a partner. Use pillars for cover, dodge long-range attacks, and strike from behind. Be aware of close-range attacks and lightning. The boss teleports when damaged.
  • Phases: Two phases. The second phase features more long-range attacks and a shield after teleporting.
  • Strategy: Use pillars for cover. Dodge and sprint towards the boss, attacking from behind. If lightning appears under you, dodge. In phase 2, be ready to quickly attack after the boss teleports due to its shield.

Post-Boss:

  1. After the fight, a vestige scene plays.
  2. If you restored all her previous vestiges, speak to the petrified successor. Otherwise, go through the door.
  3. Restoring her yields the Isis Blood Code; not restoring yields the Queen's Ribcage Blood Code.
  4. Go to the back of the room, enter the door, and go down the stairs.
  5. After scenes, go back upstairs for another scene.
  6. A resting mistle will appear, allowing you to return to base.
Tips
  • A strength build and Yakumo as a partner are recommended for the boss fight.
  • Use the environment (pillars) for cover during the boss fight.
  • Prioritize restoring vestiges if aiming for specific endings.
  • Isis Blood Code (if all vestiges restored)
  • Queen's Ribcage Blood Code (if vestiges not restored)
