Head past the Monk and through the door to the left where you’ll find a chest containing Hot Blood head and chest armour, and a couple of spiders that’ll need a bit more than a rolled up newspaper to get rid of. This little exchange will nab you The Butcher weapon and 500 XP. Go through the gate and offer your own special brand of medical assistance to the Monk beyond, which basically entails offering to lop off his hand, telling him to find someone with a doctorate and giving him a potion. Kill them both and yank the levers to open the gate below. Note that at the top of the left staircase is a Rogue, and at the top of the right staircase is a Marauder. Once you’ve taken care of them, cross the courtyard and go up the stairs. Dispatch the Infected to the right then go down the stairs to the courtyard below, where another pair of Infected and a Marauder will attack you. Leave the area via the door to the left, and pop over to the checkpoint on the left. Head to the bottom of the stairs ahead of you, grabbing the audio note on the way, fight the 2 Infested and open the chest here to pick up the Rogue armour set. Light armour will make you more agile, so if you’re struggling to get across, a change of clothes may be in order. You can jump over to get the key that will allow you to collect the Shard of Heroes from the hidden corridor mentioned earlier. In front of you and to the left is a statue that shares its platform with the Northern Monastery Wing Door Key. Proceed to the next room, deal with the Infested surprise attack, pick up the audio note and make your way through the next door.


There will be a group of Infested waiting for you inside, and in the adjacent room, you’ll find a Monk Staff in a chest to the left. Go down the stairs, fight off the Marauder, and go through the red door at the bottom. In the corner is a chest containing a Warrior armour set. Head right to find 2 Infested and an audio note. Do what you need to do there, then leave the area via the door on the right at the other side of the room. There’s a checkpoint in the centre of the room. Gather Hot Blood armour and multiple weapons as you continue to explore Lords of the Fallen.
