You can’t do much in the Ancient Basin yet, but you can get Pale Ore to upgrade your Nail again – with 800 Geo. After that, you will need two Pale Ore and 2000 Geo to upgrade your Nail again. You’ll enter an arena where you’ll need to dispatch a Heavy Sentry. Once you’ve killed them, a Lance Sentry and Winged Sentry will appear. Kill them both to open the gates and continue on your way. Head through the left side of the arena, then wall-jump up into the next area, where you’ll hear the tell-tale humming of our old friend, Cornifer.

Lurien the Watcher is one of the three Dreamers and is located in the Watcher’s Spire in the City of Tears. You need to get all three Dreamers to finish the game and Lurien is the one that didn’t want the seals to break. The Watcher Knights won’t stop you – their weakness is chandeliers. The spirit of Elder Hu can be fought at his memorial after acquiring the Dream Nail. Still deluded in his experience with the Mantis Tribe, he warns the Knight. After his defeat, the spirit becomes aware of his madness-driven mistake. He realizes his own death before shattering into 100 Essence to be collected by the Dream Nail. Even if two ways lead to the same place, which you will realize in Greenpath, take both! In King’s pass, there is already a charm that will help you when you’re low on health. A gorgeously written, utterly absorbing epic and, despite being set in the sixteenth century, has some very pertinent messages for our time about the evils of religious persecution and the transcendent power of love and family. In case it’s not clear enough yet, I absolutely LOVED it - Lucy Foley, author of The Hunting Party Next, the Knight is now in the Fungal Wastes! Go to the right, jump across the gap with a pool of acid, and continue to the right. There the Knight will encounter a Fungoon. Jump across another gap and go to the right. There you can find two Funglings. After defeating them drop down the gap, and take the exit below.Getting the almost triple Nail damage compared to the damage you started with before fighting the Soul Master will help a lot as well as the other enemies in the City of Tears and the rest of the game. What you would miss out on if you went into the City of Tears using the City Crest: Tools are special items classed by categories, equipped on a Crest with limited slots. They can be used as throwing weapons or defensive aids without costing Silk. Crests and Tools can be changed when sitting on a Bench similar to Charms.

Every inch a classic Mosse novel, The City of Tears is diligently researched, beautifully written and, crucially right now, both substantial and immersive – if you want to leave 21st-century pandemic Britain behind, this should be your preferred mode of transport - Radio Times Finally, try to exit the large room on the left, and the gates will drop down to trap the Knight then the False Knight will drop down to fight the Knight! Mosse’s narrative lyricism, beautifully drawn female characters and deft journey from the past to the present day are a cut above - Scotland on Sunday on The Burning ChambersYou’ve probably seen the door that you can’t access in the Soul Sanctum right above the bench. That door requires you to have the Elegant Key to open it, and you can buy it in Sly’s shop for 800 Geo if you found the Shopkeeper’s Key. You can already get your first full mask upgrade at this point in the game. There are two Mask Shards in Sly’s store, one that you get for saving Bretta and the one you get from the Grubfather. There are more options, though. Orb: the Soul Master will stand in place and throw orbs at you before teleporting to another location in the arena. Hitting him here is harder than dodging the orbs, but you can still catch him. Just don’t dash into him as I do. Other than Lemm and the Nailsmith, you will also see Hornet and new different-looking enemies. The mantises in Fungal Wastes gave you the training to prepare for those, so don’t be afraid to get into their face; they are strong, though. Health is represented as Masks, shown in the upper-left corner of the screen. Hornet starts the game with 5 Masks and can obtain more. Health is lost by taking damage, either from enemies or from environmental hazards. Health can be regained by the use of the Bind ability consuming a full Silk spool.

Then, upon landing, go to the left, jump across the gap, continue going to the left, and drop down the platforms where the Knight will face a Tiktik and a Crawlid. After that, take the exit up the platform on the left. The bridge you opened up was closed off because of the infection that Radiance spread to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the city. Before the gate was sealed and the bridge was closed off, the bridge was used to transport goods into the city where there was an evident divide between the rich and the poor. Many goods reached the city, but not many came out. An invitation has arrived for Minou Joubert and her family to attend this historic wedding in Paris in August. But what Minou does not know is that the Joubert family’s oldest enemy, Vidal, will also be there. Nor that, within days of the marriage, on the eve of the Feast Day of St Bartholomew, her family will be scattered to the four winds and one of her beloved children will have disappeared without trace . . . After that, not as important, go and defeat the Broken Vessel (you need Crystal Heart from Crystal Peak to reach it) so that you can get the double jump and finish the game – right, you also need double jump to get to Lurien the Watcher. Every time two of them are on the same side, use Shade Soul/Vengeful Spirit even if they’re rolling because even though they’re immune to Nail damage while rolling, they can still take damage from spells. That’s it; you got Lurien. TAKE THISOther than the Grub being shown in King’s Station, there is one more door that you go into and just get a lot of Geo. There will be enemies that will show you how the city used to look, and they will usually run away, bounce around or weakly flap their arms at you – that’s the City of Tears for ya’.
