Run 1, Chapter V: The Cathedral of Cascades

Snake Within and the lake, the Underground Graveyard before and after it floods, the Grand Hall, Loki's climb and the two angels on the cathedral top.

This chapter crosses the lake in front of the cathedral, the Underground Graveyard beneath it and the Grand Hall above, and ends on the cathedral roof. Snake Within arrives in the opening minute, so from here on you can swim fast and reach the high ledges of flooded rooms. Three Muspelheim portals and three hidden fights sit just off the path, and the Golden LP of this chapter comes in two halves. The Chapter I pickups that need swimming wait for the Chapter I replay after the story. No chapter-clear Umbran Tear fires at the end of this chapter: the next one comes when Chapter VI ends.

Chapter V · Chapter start – The chapter opens by itself once Chapter IV's results are over, under the water in front of the cathedral.

Snake Within: carry Loki ashoreQuest step
Location
Chapter V · Chapter start – You start under the water. Change into the serpent when the game tells you to and swim Loki up to dry land; a scene follows on the shore. From then on, the serpent works whenever you are under water, and tapping jump while swimming gives short bursts of speed.
Requires
Summary
The chapter's opening task, and the moment Snake Within becomes yours: a fast serpent form for swimming that the rest of the chapter, and later replays, rely on.

Requires
Summary
A quarter of a Witch Heart, held in a faded blue resting place that must be rebuilt. Restoring it also counts toward the Liberator of Time Tear.

Muspelheim: island behind the iron barsCollectible
Location
Chapter V · Verse 2 – Its glow shows behind a line of iron bars on the right side of the lake. Swim to the bars and follow them round from the left until a stone arch breaks them, pass under the fallen building there, surface and climb onto the little island with the portal. Inside, Fidelities and Cachets come at you; dodging still works but never slows time, so you must win on plain combos. The Evil Harvest Rosary accessory (100,000 halos at the Gates of Hell) helps if you own it.
Requires
Summary
Verse 2, a Muspelheim portal with Witch Time switched off. Clearing it pays a Broken Witch Heart.

Before you use the device

Using Loki's device in the middle of the hall starts a fight, and when it ends the hall fills with water. Take the crow, the Heart and the Echo above, and do any shopping at the red portal, before you step onto the device. If you miss one, replay the chapter from Chapter Select after the story.

Pain at Loki's deviceBoss
Location
Chapter V · Verse 4 – Walk out to the middle of the hall floor, jump onto Loki's device and use it to bring out Pain. It is tough and hard-hitting for its size, so dodge often, punish it in Witch Time and grab any demon weapon it drops. Once its health is gone, the Climax prompt calls in Diomedes to finish it.
Requires
Summary
Verse 4: the first Infernal Demon you fight, a heavy machine-like demon. It is also your first chance to pick up a demon's dropped weapon.

Muspelheim: flooded graveyard balcony roomCollectible
Location
Chapter V · Verse 5 – At about the height of the last Echo, look along the upper ring of crescent balconies, which you could not reach before the flood, for the portal's glow. It sits in a small side room behind one balcony. Inside you fight on a clump of stone pillars while Cachets slice pillars away, and dropping to the floor fails it; hit them from range so they stay off your footing. If it beats you, leave it: a death in a Muspelheim is not counted as a normal death. Replay Chapter V from Chapter Select after the story with the Alruna whips, which make this one easy.
Requires
Summary
Verse 5, a Muspelheim portal where you must never touch the ground. Clearing it pays a Broken Moon Pearl. One of the hardest portals on a first run.

Chapter V · Gates of Hell – No red portal lies ahead in this chapter, so trade at the chapter's end. Once Chapter V's results are done the game has saved: quit to the title, choose Story, then Chapter Select, then Shop, and hand Rodin the complete Erlkönig LP. Back out and choose Continue to start the next chapter. If Shop isn't on the menu yet, trade the LP at the next red portal on the walk, Chapter VIII's, on the path past the Furies toward the large round platform.

Summary
A triple-bladed scythe for the hands slot, forged by Rodin from the finished Erlkönig LP at no cost in halos. It sweeps wide, so it is good against crowds.
