Chapter 7: Burning Sands

Viola crosses Thule's Secret Hills and the rift into the Cairo desert, digs for water as Cheshire, then works through the oasis, the quicksand river and the temple to Strider.

Chapter 7 is Viola's again. It opens in the Secret Hills of Thule, crosses the rift, and drops her into the Cairo desert, then on to an oasis, a river of quicksand under pouring sandfalls and a temple at the far end. She has her katana Mab Dachi, the Bull Kiss darts and Cheshire, though she loses Cheshire for a while after the fall into the desert and gets him back at Verse 4. Blocking (R) as a hit lands still gives her Witch Time. Two Niflheims and one angel portal sit off the path, and nothing here waits for a later demon or weapon. The chapter's Bewitchments stay hidden in the menu until the first clear, but each one counts if you earn it now. A missed pickup can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.

Cheshire's dig is a one-time stretch

When Verse 4 ends, Viola collapses and you steer Cheshire, with her on his back, through a narrow valley into open desert. Only he can dig, and digging up the spring ends his stretch and wakes her. Before you dig the spring, dig up the buried Broken Witch Heart chest and the second treasure spot, and take the Figure Box on the ledge by the valley exit. A missed one can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.

Finish the quicksand river before the temple path

Leaving the quicksand area toward the temple sets off an ambush, and the chapter ends at the temple after that.
