Objective: Unlock the gate to the Catacombs
Abandoned Sewers
After leaving the room where you battled The Fallen, head right and use your whip to climb upwards. Once at the top, go to the right, dealing with any enemies before swinging across the gap. You’ll spot pink Sharpened Anchors that help you ascend further; even if they seem tempting, don’t attempt to go to the right just yet—it’s a dead end.
Once you reach the top, head left and carefully navigate over spikes. An XP Statue is waiting for you just left of where you entered from. Continue upwards, swinging across gaps until you reach a high platform, where you’ll eventually exit this area.
Path of the Rat
Make quick work of the three bats flying around. Take the pink sharpened anchor to ascend and move up the stairs. After taking out the bats, head back down. Note that you can’t open the door from this side, so continue down the stairs and drop down to the left door to exit this area. Defeat enemies in this room and move up, swinging to the top-left corner to find another XP Statue.
Drop down and head left; in the next area, go up and to the right while using your whip. From this platform, hold steady and swing left and upwards, where you’ll discover another XP Statue on the far left side.
Swing back up to the right and keep moving until you exit this area. You’ll find a monster lurking over scaffolding in the next room, along with a few others. Clear them out before heading right to move to the next area. Break the debris to open the door from earlier and head upwards.
Go left, utilizing the luminous anchor to wall jump to the next area.
Swing back up to the right and keep going till you exit this room. In the next room, you will see a monster standing over a scaffolding. There are several others here. Move to the right, kill all of them and go through to the next area. In the next area, break the debris to open the door we were at earlier. From here, head up.
Go to the left, use the luminous anchor and wall jump up to the next area.
Court of Miracles
Once you’re here, proceed right and swing across the gap. On the other side, deal with the enemies and latch onto the archer above to reach another XP Statue.
Travel to the right and slide down the hole. Eliminate the archer and drop down to dispatch the enemies in this area. Continue to the right to exit.
Bridge of the Millers
Hit the lever to redirect the waterwheel here, then jump on the platforms heading right and upwards. A conversation with The Fallen will ensue during this section. Proceed left and up the stairs to exit this area; you’ll find yourself in a room with a Mirror of Life.
Burned District
You’ll encounter a Spirit here who provides a clue that The Warrior is at the top of the Tower. Continue to the left and proceed upwards before going through the door.
Seer’s Hovel
Seer’s Hovel
This is a challenge room, where you’ll need to eliminate all enemies around. At the top-right corner, use your whip to open a chest containing the Crypt Key.
Drop down and clear the remainder of the room before heading back out.
Burned District
Swing up using the luminous anchor to the left. Eliminate the enemy in your way, then deal with the archer over the spikes. Behind him, you can break the wall to find another XP Statue.
Clear the door and head to the right. After dropping down, take out the enemies while moving left. In the subsequent area, eliminate the foe and swing onto the swinging cage to destroy it.

The Cestus is one of the seven available weapons. Try it out on the respawning enemies before heading back left to exit.
Sewer Entrance
Jump and pull the lever on the wall to lower the drawbridge, then proceed to the next area.
Central Sewer Drain
Activate the lever here to drop another drawbridge. Move left and enter the subsequent area before dropping down the shaft. Get ready for a platforming challenge ahead, where you can earn the Twilight Gem relic upon completion.
Drop down and head back to the left, returning to the Sewer Entrance, and continue upwards.
Make sure to check the signpost.
Next, proceed to the right.
Prison Tower
Clear out the enemies here and move to the right, dropping down to slide right and claim the next XP Statue.
