The Bad

After a scene where Elika flees, follow her path. Traverse beams, flagpoles, and walls, using Wall Runs and jumps to cross gaps.

Continue platforming across fissures and beams, sliding down walls and Wall Running around corners.

After a scene, you'll face the Mourning King. Initially, you fight alone, with limited combos. Use the new 'Sprint' ability (tap X when not hurt) for a QTE stun and a free combo.

After a short while, reach Elika's body to revive her. Now with her magic attacks, your combos are restored. Engage the Mourning King with full power.

Be aware of the Mourning King's altered attack patterns, including quick sword and push combos that are hard to block or deflect.

You can still pin him against the wall for a button-mashing QTE. Watch out for his health regeneration and depleted shields.

The boss fight ends prematurely after depleting about 2/3 of his health.

After the boss fight, Elika is initially silent but does have new dialogue lines. Speak to her by pressing L2 to trigger them.

Proceed through a wall with moving corruption spots, timing your jumps and Wall Runs carefully.

Traverse across corruption wells and columns, using Wall Runs and double jumps.

Face a wall with corruption and time your Wall Run to avoid it. Double jump to a flagpole, then time another corruption well and double jump again.

Wall Run on the left wall past corruption spots, then double jump and Wall Run again to reach a landing.

The first of seven soldiers of Ahriman may be present. Defeating it quickly can contribute to a difficult Trophy.

Time your Wall Run carefully to grab a ring guarded by three moving corruption spots. Wait for the outer ones to move up before starting your Wall Run.

Continue quickly through the platforming sequence until you land on a beam.
