The critical path
Navigate the underground route, use colored beams at tombs and switch to stealth when the creature controls the dark.
Follow these Chapter 6 checkpoints in order; each one marks a progression action or a search window before the next one-way transition.
- Follow the long tunnel to the statue-head chamber and continue through the right-side passage.
- Once the creature appears, wait in illuminated pockets and move only when the route to the next light is clear.
- Use cover when its breathing particles are visible, then sprint or swing across exposed gaps between safe areas.
- Break boxes around the machinery rooms to reveal side paths and pickups before using the mirrors to clear growths.
- At Daedalus' shortcut, take the cliff-side detour before the marked door to reach the Axe Chalice and its Pierced Coin.
Chapter checklist
Before the final one-way transition, check the chapter tracker for 1 Blade, 2 Artefacts and 3 Charms.
Light is safety during the worm sequences. Move between lit pockets instead of trying to fight the threat.
| Blade | Artefacts | Charms |

If the puzzle stops you
Chapter 6 uses the sphere, environmental markings or light routing at the blockers noted above. Reveal the full mechanism first, then change one pedestal, reflector or beam at a time so the failed link remains visible.
The dedicated puzzle guide places Chapter 6's verified solution in chronological order and preserves the surrounding objective name, making it easier to confirm that you are solving the same room.
