Chapter 28 - Trial of Archimedes
Commentary



The Trial of Archimedes (aka Elevator or Hell) is highly considered by many the Hardest Chapter in the Game. The 1st trial alone will drive players mad. In this guide (and commentary) I will help those in need to move on from this nightmarish chapter

How to beat Trial of Archimedes (with no upgrades)

- Patience
- Ring outs (as seen here @ 8:15)
- Spamming the Amulet
- Spamming the Oath Stone
- Spamming Rage against Sirens & Wraiths makes a HUGE difference
- Timely use of magic
- Killing Gorgons at the right place & time
- Having 55% of health (or more) when Sirens appear a BIG plus
- LOTS of blocking in 2nd and 3rd trial
