Bring Salvation to the Undead
Fury made it to the other side of the toxic swamp encountered earlier, but she’s got a long road ahead of her to reach Lust. The area known as Hangman’s Tree is surrounded by all manner of undead creatures as well as a wealth of pickups.
Put Salvation to use against any flying Undead Angel Raiders you encounter to knock them from the sky. Imbue the crossblade with the Flame Hollow to light multiple Swamp Swarm aflame, after which a quick toss should finish them off.
Grab the Demonic Artifact near the tree and circle around to the left. Lure the Undead Beast toward you, away from the highway overpass, and unleash your Havoc Form to dispatch it quickly. This isn’t a creature you want to take a chance with, as its Arcane fire and sky-high ground pound attack are quite deadly.
Climb onto the shipping containers to the far western corner of the area and activate the Flame Hollow. Imbue Salvation with fire and toss it at the cobwebs to drop the suspended containers. Flame Jump up the dilapidated warehouse atop the cliff.
The red and gold Red Undead Angel Raider can fire Arcane projectiles from its broadsword and is a more significant threat than the others you’ve seen. Be careful not to waken any of the Undead Angels with an errant throw of Salvation, else you might get more than you can handle. Consume a Havoc Shard as you exit the warehouse toward the sound of screaming, as an Undead Scribe leads several others against the Angels around the corner.
Eliminate the threat, then use the Salvation crossblade to destroy the hive atop the crates to the right. Break through the crates to find a Fragment of Adamantine and a pile of purple rocks you’ll have to come back to later. Exit the warehouse and descend the slope toward the Serpent Hole near the Mansk.
Reach the Clifftop Mansk
The only way to reach Lust is by finding a way onto the freeway. To do that, Fury must find a way to get the Mansk down off the cliffs above the Serpent Hole. Doing so requires a complex path through the adjacent shipyard warehouses. Naturally, there’s a number of undead enemies lurking about, and we’ll call attention to any particular threats, but this section focuses primarily on helping you find your way.
Head through the drainage pipe to the flooded area and collect the Havoc Shard near the two Swamp Swarms. Eliminate the Undead Penitent in the cave to the left and cut the purple meat down from the cocoon near the ceiling. Once you’ve slain the Undead Angel Brute in the warehouse—be careful as it fights similarly to the Flame Warden, although with much less Health—carry a Bomb Bug over to the bait and use it to blow up the rocks. The flooded cave contains Incandescent Remains and multiple Undead Purples.
Flame Jump onto the broken stairs on the south side of the room and head outside. Ascend the stairs on the left and make your way to the upper office inside on the right. Fend off the Undead Angel Raider and Flame Jump to the uppermost level to find a Demonic Artifact.
Return to where you entered this area after seeing the massive tentacle outside near the freeway. Throw a burning Salvation at the cobwebs to drop the pipe within reach, then whip swing across to the web-covered room near the second pipe to save a Human. This should be your 10th, earning you an upgrade to your Rider’s Mercy the next time you visit Ulthane. Don’t miss the Human inside the room to the right of the pipes you’ll Whip Swing from.
Throw the lever beside the massive sliding gate to access the warehouse. That gate is actually a sliding crane that spans the width of the warehouse, and now, in its green, “open” position, the far exit is blocked.
Though it may seem easy to exit the room—there are purple rocks and purple bait visible—the only Bomb Bug is beyond the gate on the far side. To reach it you must flip the switch a second time to close the near side of the gate. Dash through the opening before the gate closes so you can access the Bomb Bug on the other side.
Toss the Bomb Bug at the bait and then use it to detonate the purple rocks to the west. Run along the path behind the containers and ascend the storage racks to locate a Mansk. This one won’t help you reach the freeway, but it will help you get back outside the warehouse. Knock it down to the lower level and over to the northern side of the room so you can reach the upper path leading back outside. Before you go, however, grab a second Bomb Bug and leave it feasting at the bait.
Open the gate and throw the Bomb Bug at the purple rocks on the south side of the room. Drop through the hole to reach the Mansk on the cliffs above the Serpent Hole. Drive it up the slope toward the freeway and use it to reach the roadway.
