    In the first room with moving cauldrons, shoot the stone on the fourth cauldron to get a Stone of Resistance.

    On the circular platform, interact with Karn to be tossed across a gap.
  6. 6
    Climb the wall using blocks and handholds, go around the corner, and drop onto a beam.
  7. 7
    Wait for hanging pots to pass and jump across to them. Shimmy right and jump to the far platform when safe. Wall run across the gap.
  8. 8
    Follow the passage, deal with tainted constructs, and reach a lever. Wall run to a nearby platform for a chest to the left of the lever.
  9. 9
    Pull the lever to unlock the door and proceed.

    Follow Karn through the next door he holds open.
  13. 13
    Climb the stairs to see the guardian and learn you need 3 heart stones to activate it.

    At the intersection, continue right into the next large room.
  16. 16
    Go to the far Eastern side, where Karn will toss you onto a gate.
  17. 17

  18. 18
    Drop down into the room below and into the central pool. Underwater, you will see an inactive golem.
  19. 19
    In the right-hand corner from where you entered, find a Boatman’s Coin and an area to surface.
  20. 20
    Wall run up and grab the ledge to climb out of the water.
  21. 21
    Head out the opening on the opposite side of the room and down into the water. Dive and find the tunnel leading left. Surface and climb the wall to find a chest.
  22. 22
    Return to the water and follow the passage to the end. Climb the wall and step on the pressure plate to lower the portcullis and open the gate to the main room.
  23. 23
    Karn will hold the gate open. Drop down, grab the ball, and wheel it into the main room.
  24. 24

  32. 32
    Wall run across to the handholds on the far side. Time your wall run to avoid streams of molten rock.
  33. 33

  34. 34
    Exit through the opposite door and open the chest for a skeleton key.

    Drop down to the chain below. Continue back past the golem to the main room and use the skeleton key to open the locked door.

    Open the door and climb the spiral stairway to the top. Enter the door.
