NOTE: Obtaining the Dash Slash is useful for the next Boss encounter, but the skill is not necessary. These, fast-moving enemies hop along the length of their specified regions at set intervals, so they can be dashed under, so avoid or engage them at your leisure as you progress to the right. In this area, you’ll begin to encounter enemies called Hoppers. Pay the 112 Geo for the Kingdom’s Edge area map, then continue down the small platforms until you reach the bottom of the giant chasm, then head right into the next area. You should also clearly hear the tell-tale humming of our old friend, Cornifer. Fall to the left and slide down the wall and you’ll shortly stop on top of a pipe, jutting out of the side of the cliff face. Walk to the edge of the platform and drop down. Once you reach the end of the cavern, take the exit on the right side and you’ll emerge in Kingdom’s Edge. Hop down into the water and wade right and you’ll go through a hidden passageway into a cavern with dive-bombing Belflys. Take a right and you’ll find a broken Bench and a flooded Stagway station. With your newly-honed weapon, return to the King’s Station Stagway, take the exit left of the Bench, then drop down to the bottom floor. Use the Ancient Basin Pale Ore and 800 Geo and he’ll upgrade your Sharpened Nail to the Channelled Nail. Once you arrive, descend through the city and back to the Nailsmith. Pay the 300 Geo to unlock the Stagway and take it to City Storeroom Stagway Station in the City of Tears.

Use the Crystal Heart to fly all the way to the right, then smash through the weak wall and you’ll find the Ancient Basin Stagway station. Now that you have the Monarch Wings, use them to clear the gap and jump up to the exit on the bottom right side and head into the next area. Fly past the toll Bench and into the next area, then follow the path all the way to the right. Proceed back up to the Broken Vessel arena, then head right.

Jump up and touch it and you’ll consume the Monarch Wings, which grant the ability to double-jump. Follow the path to the very end, where you’ll find a tiny glowing orb, floating in midair.

After defeating the Broken Vessel, continue left through the newly-opened wall.
