Take Shelter from the Tempest Underground
The storm ravaging the sandy Lowlands is no ordinary tornado. It’s possessed with the ability to hunt Fury wherever she goes. It senses her position—even underground—and will turn from its path to chase her down and suck her into oblivion. The Force Hollow can keep her grounded while underground, but there is no safety for her on the open sandy plains. The only option is to dash as fast as you can from one subway entrance to the next.
Storm Glide down onto the desert and immediately begin tapping the Dash button to reach the subway station to the right as fast as possible. Activate the Force Hollow and crawl through the wreckage of the partially collapsed subway station. Run down the hall, past where the Phantoms get sucked skyward, to find a Demonic Artifact, then head west to the Serpent Hole.
Stand atop the circular switch until a cube-shaped purple stone moves across the conveyor belt and falls onto the floor. Flame Jump from that block to the opening near the ceiling and crawl through to the adjacent room.
The only way out of this area is to get the purple stone onto the switch in the room to the north. That means getting it safely across the water-filled trench. Fortunately, this is easier than it may sound. Use Force form to open the metal gates via the switch on the upper walkway and then drop to the floor switch near the water. Activate Stasis form and run across the water, freezing it with each step. Slip behind the stone, activate the Force Hollow, and blast the stone with a charged-up swing of the Mallet of Scorn. If aimed properly, the block will slide across the ice and depress the floor switch.
Continue through the tunnel and up the Force surface to the stairs leading back out onto the surface. Stay in Force form and crawl to the edge of the cover so you can scan the area outside.
The Tempest continues to rampage across the plains, and Fury barely has enough time to dash to the next subway entrance. It’s imperative that you wait for the storm to get as far south as possible before making a run for it. That said, there are two Incandescent Remains to be collected. Stopping to grab either of them may cause Fury to be sucked into the storm, but with a Serpent Hole not far behind, it’s a small price to pay. Just make sure to feed any Souls you have to Vulgrim before you try this.
The Incandescent Remains to the right of the subway entrance contain an Angelic Artifact, and the ones slightly to the left, beyond the taxi cab, contain a Luminous Visage.
Descend the stairs and continue to the purple lever. Hit it to open the gate on the left, providing a shortcut back to the Serpent Hole. Head up the slope to the right and Force Ball across the chasm. Keep the Force Hollow active as you inspect the next puzzle.
In this area, Fury must guide the purple block at the east end of the room over to the western end, all while avoiding the Tempest above the grated ceiling. Use the Force Ball to reach the eastern end of the room and collect the Angelic Artifact in the corridor beyond the doorway. Because you are at this end, the storm tracking you will carry the purple stone over to the edge. Use the Mallet to drive it into the lower channel, where it will slide under the hinged gate.
Move to the western end of the room while the purple block is being carried by the storm. Wait for the storm to drift away and for the block to fall on the upper level, safely west of the hinged grate. Rush behind it and hit it twice with the Mallet of Scorn to drive it into position along the wooden wall to the west. Now you can Flame Jump off it and reach the upper ledge.
