Follow the roadway east toward the ship in the distance, taking note of the massive tentacle that seems determined to aid your progress. A smattering of enemies will put up a fight, but none are of note save for the Undead Beast. The narrow roadway limits your ability to dodge its Arcane fire and ground pound attacks, so watch your Health Meter closely and don’t hesitate to trigger Havoc Form.
The Undead Beast serves as the main threat along the freeway.
The next Serpent Hole isn’t far. Descend the crumbling road surface to find Vulgrim near another warehouse. If you were planning a trip back to Maker’s Forge, put it off for one more minute. First, crawl through the ventilation duct to find a Human in the next room.
Drop through the hole in the floor around the corner from the man you saved and chase after the Undead Angel Raider. Hit him with the Salvation crossblade when he’s not looking, then back away and hit him again as he flies past. Drop into the watery trench, go left, and uncover the ductwork behind the wooden crates. Crawl through and fight the Undead Purple for the Luminous Visage in the corner.
Proceed along the flooded hallway to the gate control. This opens a gate outside the Festering Pool Serpent Hole. Reset your respawn location and continue around the corner, where the tentacle makes another appearance.
Flame Jump from the blue container to the ledge on the right. Whip swing across the gap and round the corner to where the Undead Scribe is located. This is a great time to unleash Fury’s full elemental might. Cast the Twin Tempests Wrath Attack, then leap into the air and unload atop the enemy with a flaming Apex Scorch charged attack. Stick close to where you enter the room to avoid being surrounded by the Swamp Swarm being summoned by the out-of-reach Undead Penitent.
Flame Jump up the stack of containers to the south, grab the pickup, and throw the lever to open the gates. Top off your Health and continue east.
Escape the Sea Creature’s Clutches
The massive sea creature that’s been stalking her progress has Fury in its grasp. Fortunately, Fury’s quick thinking causes it to drop her in a water area not far from Lust’s ship. Now it’s up to you to injure the creature badly enough to create an opportunity to slip past.
The creature will lash out with its tentacles every few seconds for as long as any of its eyes are uninjured. The only way to get past it is to target all four of its eyes in a single throw with the Salvation. You needn’t imbue it with a Hollow’s effect. Just tag all four eyes and throw. Then, as the creature coils up in pain, slip past it on the right. The next Serpent Hole is steps away!
All Things to All People
Lust’s cargo ship is up ahead, across the spit of land leading to a tear in the ship’s hull. Top off all of your meters and take a moment to prepare for battle by equipping weapon enhancements that boost your Physical Protection and Damage, such as the Juggernaut, Fortifier, and Obscuris. The latter will aid in your ability to dodge Lust’s attacks. Consume a Havoc Shard but don’t trigger it until the battle’s second half.
