Complete route

Puzzle and stuck-point decoder
| What is stopping you | What to do | How to confirm it worked |
|---|---|---|
| The movable pillar is behind bars | Press the wall switch beside its side gate | The smaller gate rises and the pillar can move |
| The main bars will not remain open | Push and center the entire pillar on the plate | The main gate stays raised when you walk away |
| Duality Stone is not in the inventory | Follow the newly opened stairs/right-hand route and check its bone chest | Duality Stone appears in the Tarstone list |
Loot checklist
| Reward | Where it is | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Duality Stone | Bone chest beside the stairs | Improves standing light combos for Axatana and Axe & Dagger |
| Ventrium | A side corridor in the first hall | Upgrade material |
| Laterite | Lower route after the pressure-plate gate | Weapon upgrade material |
| Gloom and Coin | Enemies and side-path pickups | Shell progression and purchases |
Before you leave
- The plate needs the pillar's full weight. If the bars remain down, push it farther toward the center.
- Duality Stone is weapon-specific. Do not spend Tarcore on it unless Axatana or Axe & Dagger is staying in your build.
- Clear enemies before pushing the pillar so an attack does not knock you out of position.
