  14. 14
    Follow the linear path, grappling and climbing down into a room with Grims and Light Elves.

  16. 16
    Climb the exposed wall eastward to reach a legendary chest.
  17. 17
    Climb back up the southwestern wall to a new room with more hive structures. Drop down south and aim the Leviathan Axe at the structure's knots, lining them up to destroy all three at once.
  18. 18
    Grapple back up the wall and enter the room where the Hafgufa is trapped.
  19. 19
