Tips

  • Equip Incendio to your active spell set, as it is essential for burning spider webs blocking pathways and dealing bonus damage to arachnids.
  • To open the sealed doors marked with three rune switches, you must strike all three targets with basic casts in rapid succession before the timers reset.
  • Use Accio on the floating metal platforms to pull them toward you, then step aboard and target handles on the walls to pull yourself across gaps.
