STEP 5

Cross Pillar Hall

Continue into Pillar Hall, the first challenge area in this sequence. Jump between the floating wooden platforms above the water, using their direction arrows as visual markers. Avoid splashing and keep clear of monsters as you work toward the exit. A monster attack can leave you downed. After dying, you respawn in the starting area.
