Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After exiting the tunnel in the Ash Lands, head east to find a Blue Soul Chest.
  2. 2
    Return to the entrance area and go to the northeastern section of the map. Look for a blue crystal beneath the walkways leading to the arena entrance. Destroy it and enter for a chest containing a Wrath Shard.
  3. 3
    Further south, find a raised platform with a shadow flight geyser. Use it, then climb the demon growth at the top to find an Artefact: Soldier.
  4. 4
    Locate the rocky area resembling the number "2" on your map. Climb it and float across to the next area.
  5. 5
    At the end of the long rock platform, find the Soul Bridge. Enter the portal between the glowing pillars on Ruin to activate the bridge and cross the chasm.
  6. 6
    Follow the passage until a cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) plays.
  7. 7
    When you regain control in the Iron Canopy, break out of the spider web by following the on-screen button prompts.
  8. 8
    Exit the room and follow the wall left to find a Blue Soul Chest.
  9. 9
    Cross the small bridge and defeat the Spiders. Enter the next room by pressing the use button on the spider web.
  10. 10
    Turn left, destroy the crystal, and drag the block as far as possible towards the entrance to position it below the rope.
  11. 11
    Jump onto the block. Before crossing the rope, toss your cross-blade at the chronosphere on the left side of the room.
  12. 12
    Jump onto the rope and use the dash button to cross before the timer runs out.
  13. 13
    Drop down the hole and exit into the street. Follow it around the corner and up the hill.
  14. 14
    Cross the narrow bridge. After it collapses, continue south along the road, killing Phantom Angels.
  15. 15
    Look for a destructible wooden wall on the left side of the area. Knock it down to find a chest containing a Wrath Shard.
  16. 16
    Run to the end and use the web on the left to enter the next area.
  17. 17
    Look right for two horizontal girders. Jump from the second girder down to the platform below with the blue crystal.
  18. 18
    Destroy the two egg sacs here and kill any emerging baby Spiders.
  19. 19
    Check the nearby alcove for a Blue Soul Chest.
  20. 20
    Destroy the blue crystal to reveal a switch. Activate it to raise a chronosphere from below.
  21. 21
    Turn 180 degrees and find handholds on a support column to climb back up to where you jumped down from.
  22. 22
    Scale the second support column with handholds. Turn right and destroy all Spiders and egg sacs in the area.
  23. 23
    Move to target the chronosphere with your cross-blade, hit it, and jump across to the dangling platform supported by a strand of web.
  24. 24
    Quickly run to the other side and jump into the alcove to open the chest for the Dungeon Map.
  25. 25
    Return to where you threw the cross-blade at the chronosphere. Jump down to the beam suspended by the web and stand on the side closest to you.
  26. 26
    Wait until the opposite end rises sufficiently to reach the alcove above the chest that contained the map. Hit the chronosphere to slow down time, run up, and jump into the alcove before time lapses. Open the chest for the Beholder’s Key.
  27. 27
    Backtrack to the entrance and exit the area.
  28. 28
    Outside, return to where the bridge collapsed. Look left for a demon growth. Follow it around the corner to find the locked door that your Beholder’s Key fits. Enter the room.
  29. 29
    The majority of the room is a strong spider web floor. Try not to stay in one spot for too long, as a Giant Spider underneath will attack. To the right as you enter, you should see a block.
  30. 30
    Move the block under the demonic plant and grab the edge as it is lifted up. Jump to the right side of the platform.
