Chapter 7 WalkthroughSwordsmith Ruins Walkthrough
- Enter the Swordsmith Ruins entrance to trigger a cutscene
- Advance without being spotted by the Statue
- Ride the ventilation fan's wind to proceed
- Pass through the small hole at the back
- Ride the wind to cross the bridge
- Move through the ventilation tunnel
- Break the floorboards
- Climb to the top of the Forge Tower
- Defeat the Esselings at the end
Enter the entrance of the Swordsmith Ruins and the cutscene will begin.
To avoid being detected by the statues, use Shrink ability to hide behind the wooden boxes as you progress.
When in Shrinking mode, you can ride the ventilator's wind to jump higher. Ride the wind to reach the platform and continue along the path.
When moving from a ventilation fan to a platform or above another fan, the key is to press and hold the movement button or control stick at the moment the airflow rises. Avoid using double jumps as they cancel out the inertia, only use it when you think you can barely reach the platform.
After advancing a little, you'll reach the checkpoint in the Sword Courtyard. Pass through the small hole at the back and continue through the pipe in front.
After passing through the pipe in front, you'll arrive at a large room with a bridge. Use the wind currents to cross over to the other side of the bridge.
After crossing the bridge, you'll enter the ventilation tunnel. Watch the movement of the ventilation fans inside the tunnel and time your movements when the wind stops.
After passing through the ventilation tunnel, you'll reach a room with the forge. Break the floorboards in the center with a Plunging Attack to reach the Dawnlight Corridor, then proceed along the path.
After passing through the Dawnlight Corridor, you'll reach the Forge Tower. Use the wind from the ventilation fans to reach the top of the tower.
As you progress through the corridor at the top, a custcene will trigger, and Esselings will appear. After purifying all of Esselings, another custcene will trigger, completing the area.
