This chapter crosses the broken bridges at the edge of Inferno, steps through Loki's golden portal into the Garden of God and back, then takes you through a flooded church and the Ruins of Lost Memory to a last flight toward the pyramid. Enemies hit much harder from here on. Three Muspelheim portals and two hidden fights sit off the path; both hidden fights start by going somewhere the path doesn't lead: back to where the chapter began, and round behind Loki's second golden portal. Two of the three pieces of the Golden LP The Harmonious Blacksmith are here; the third, and the weapon Rodin makes from it, come in Chapter IX. Two stretches only go forward, a staircase and the closing flight, and each gets a warning just before it. No chapter-clear Umbran Tear fires at the end of this chapter: the next one comes when Chapter IX ends.
Jumping into the re-lit device sends you flying toward the pyramid, past crystals you can break on the way. Fly into the violet one: it holds a Broken Moon Pearl piece, and the flight carries you past it only once. Some accounts put this crystal in the chapter's closing flight instead; the warning before that flight covers it. A missed piece comes back when you replay Chapter VIII from Chapter Select after the story.
Climbing the next staircase starts a chase, and the steps crumble behind you as you run. Before you set foot on them, clear the Verse 12 portal on your left as you enter the Ruins, and check you have everything above. Anything you leave can be collected by replaying Chapter VIII from Chapter Select after the story.
Using the device after Pain launches the chapter's last flight, through thorny plants that lash at you. A red crystal on the left holds a Broken Witch Heart piece; fly into it. If you didn't find the violet Moon Pearl crystal on the first flight, it is in this one: break it too. You pass each only once and the flight ends the chapter, so a miss means replaying Chapter VIII from Chapter Select after the story.
