Tips
  • Mannequins are fast and can climb walls/ceilings. Hit them while they are on walls to stun them. Sawblade traps are effective due to their tendency to chase.
  • Homing projectiles are easier to parry due to their slower speed and tracking.
  • The level introduces the tram cart mechanic and features a boss encounter with a ~~Minotaur~~.
  • Collectibles include 4 Soul Orbs and 1 Red Soul Orb.
  • Achieve S rank by finishing in 06:40 with 51 kills and 17,000 style points.
