High Halls
Elevated ceremonial chambers within the Citadel featuring grand vertical architecture and challenging aerial navigation.
Walkthrough
High Halls is late‑Act 2: short but spiky; bring Clawline and prep via Shakra’s Last Wish to ease the final gauntlet.
Route: enter from Choral, gather Spool Fragment, craft Cogfly, get Psalm Cylinder, halt Clawmaiden spawns, map/Bench, grab Rosary Cannon, clear 11‑wave trial, then earn the Conductor’s Melody.
1. Complete Shakra's Last Wish, and duel Garmond.
Optional but recommended: finish Shakra’s quest in Bilewater so she helps during the gauntlet.
Also find Garmond/Zaza in Choral Chambers and duel Garmond to avoid lockout.
2. Head into High Halls via Choral Chambers.
Use Clawline to access High Halls from the Choral Chambers connection.
Follow the initial corridors, noting dense spikes and saw hazards.
3. Collect the Spool Fragment atop the tower.
Climb the tower section carefully and secure the Spool Fragment.
Mark shortcuts and safe ledges for the descent.
4. Construct the Cogfly tool.
Find the crafting spot and use Craftmetal to build the Cogfly tool.
Useful for certain traversal/attack routes ahead.
5. Obtain the Psalm Cylinder.
Push deeper into upper rooms and secret passages.
Loot the Psalm Cylinder as you wrap the loop toward the main shaft.
6. Disable all Clawmaiden spawns.
Cut the silk threads that trigger Clawmaiden reinforcements in arenas.
This prevents extra spawns during the final trial.
7. Rest at the Bench and buy the High Halls map.
Unlock and rest at the local Bench, then purchase Shakra’s map for the area.
Set this as your rally point before the finale.
8. Obtain the Rosary Cannon.
Use a Simple Key on the ornate door; climb, break a ceiling, and clear vents and a Giant Drapemite for Rosary caches.
Drop to a lower secret past steam vents and break the hanging tube to claim the Rosary Cannon, then use the lever shortcut out.
9. Complete the High Halls gauntlet.
Eleven stages of Choral/choir foes; Shakra assists if you did her quest, and Clawmaiden spawns are disabled.
Burst down Choir Clappers (Flintslate, Tacks, Sharpdart help); aim to turn the last phase into a quick 1v1.
10. Obtain the Conductor's Melody from Ballador.
After the arena, continue left to Ballador’s chamber.
Exhaust dialogue and play the Needolin to receive the Conductor’s Melody (Threefold Melody piece).
