Once you reach the bottom, head left and you’ll soon arrive at the Nailsmith. Rest up, then continue down until you reach the elevator to the base level of the City. Dodge the dive-bombing Belfly, then take the exit at the end of the corridor and descend until you reach the first area Bench. Once you enter the City of Tears, proceed right.
Move forward and place the City Crest you obtained from False Knight into the slot in the statue and the gate to the City of Tears will open. Drop down at the halfway point and hit the lever to raise the first section of the bridge, then proceed through the next thorny section, dropping down at the end to raise the second section of the bridge. Take the top right exit into the next area, then climb until you reach the sign where Hornet was last sighted.įollow the path to the right, then use the Mantis Claw and Mothwing Cloak to wall-jump and dash through the thorny platforming section. From Mantis Village, head up through the top of the village, through the next area with the purple fungus.
Whether you defeated the Mantis Lords and now have the Mark of Pride, or whether you simply acquired the Mantis Claw, you are now prepared to enter the City of Tears.
