In the first | In the first two rooms, there will be 1 blue-flame gargoyle statue hidden amongst the green-flame gargoyle statues. Blue-flame gargoyle statue must be activated, and the remaining monsters defeated in order to progress to the next room. In the third room, one gargoyle statue will be located on each side of the main combat zone. Activating both statues will form platforms upwards that lead to another pair of statues. This repeats for a total of 4 statue pairs. Once all 8 statues have been activated and the remaining monsters defeated, you will be able to progress to the next area. | ||

*During the '''Shadow Realm''' mechanic, Aren will be vulnerable up until the moment both gargoyle statues are deactivated. Players can take advantage of this by delaying the statue deactivation until right before Aren finishes casting, giving them more time to damage Aren. Dealing 30 HP bars of damage will cancel Aren's charging and he will be staggered for a short duration. | |||
