Run 1, Chapter XIII: Vigrid, City of Déjà Vu

The first building's hidden fight, the fountain garden and its portal, the caves and the lava tunnel with a one-try crow, and the great hall with the second portal.

This chapter runs from a first building out through a fountain garden, then down through underground caves and a lava tunnel to a great hall. Walls built of loose blocks open when you strike them, and crystal statues give you the Witch Time you need to cross water and lava. Two Muspelheim portals and one hidden fight lie off the path, and one crow allows a single try, so read the warning before the lava bridge. Start the Alruna Tear here: it runs on into later chapters. No chapter-clear Umbran Tear fires at the end of this chapter: the next one comes when Chapter XV ends.

Umbran Tear: Retribution of Thorns (50 Alruna slams)Achievement
Location
Chapter XIII · From the chapter start – Equip Alruna before the first fight. Its charged attack wraps the whips round one or two enemies, hoists them up and smashes them into the ground; each of those slams counts, and in Witch Time it catches almost anything, bosses included. Keep using it through the rest of the run: the Tear pops on its own once the count is reached, in whatever chapter that is, and Tag Climax doesn't count.
Requires
Summary
A Tear for catching enemies with the Alruna whips and slamming them down 50 times in Story Mode. It starts here and may take a few chapters.

One try at the lava-bridge crow

Next, a pair of crystal statues send you over a lava bridge in Witch Time, and an Umbran Crow perches at its far end. This crow does not come back: if your first grab fails, it flies off for good, and walking on past the broken bridge writes a checkpoint that keeps it lost for this pass of the chapter. If you miss it, stop where you are, quit to the title screen and choose Continue: you start again at the statues before the bridge and get another try. If you have already walked on, replay Chapter XIII from Chapter Select after the story to get it.

Chapter XIII · Verse 9 – Reach it before the bridge breaks. Walk on from the corridor into the next cave: the crystal statues stand on the left. Take up a statue's challenge and dodge its lightning, then race over the lava bridge in the Witch Time it gives you, straight for the crow at the far end. If the bridge goes first and you land on the rocks in the lava, try for it from the rock nearest its broken end.
