Reaching the Save Tent in Gravenvalley
After activating the switch to open the western gate of the Dessicated Castle, use Tent Travel to teleport to the Hunter’s Cabin.
From here, go right and drop down from the mailbox in the next room.
Go right again and let the trap fall from above. Use Slingshot to work your way back to the room where you found the Food for Mother Bird.
Drop down from the right side of the table, then use Slingshot and Climb to reach the path above you heading right.
This will take you straight into the new zone, Gravenvalley. Go down and head right to find the exit to the next room.
Take out the enemy and then go forward. You’ll find a bell hanging up ahead. Strike the bell to create platforms. They will disappear when the bell symbol above your head goes away. So you’ll have to be quick. Jump across the platforms and enter the next room up ahead.
In the next room, take the upper path and head right, past the monsters.
Climb up two walls ahead to reach another enemy. Take the exit on the right, past the enemy.
This will take you to a room with spike floors. Hit the bell and jump across. Take the exit to the right.
Take out the monsters in the next room and drop down to the area below. This will take you to the first Tent of the zone.
Reaching Egbert and Lida
Head right after saving your progress. As you enter the next room, you’ll see a commotion in front of the stage. It seems the Queen has captured two witches: one is a rabbit named Lida and the other is your brother Egbert.
The two “witches” are scheduled to be burnt later, and you can buy tickets to view the event.
Take the right exit and then go all the way to the right. Go up to the platform above you.
Hit the bell and use Slingshot on the left. Then jump across the platform and hit the bell above you using the Slingshot to give you a boost.
Cross all the way to the left and then go up again. Climb up to the top section and go all the way to the right to reach the exit.
Parkour across the spike section and drop through the floor to the room below.
Go all the way to the bottom floor and head left to the next room.
You will find Lida and Egbert trapped in the cage up ahead. Speak with them. Lida will give you the idea to infiltrate the event and rescue them.
Continue forward to the left; make your way past the enemies. You’ll find a switch on an upper floor that unlocks a shortcut back to the Tent.
Exit the area using the path in the top-left corner. Then keep heading left until you see a floating bubble above you. This will take you to the path right below the Tent. Activate it to open the shortcut.
Drop all the way to the bottom to find people gathering for the burning. Talk to the person up ahead, and he’ll ask for a Ticket.
At this point, the location of the Ticket will be marked on your map.
Obtaining the Witch Burning Ticket
Since the location of the Ticket is marked, reaching the vendor is pretty straightforward. You’ll mostly want to stick to the lower path. Go right first and use the Ground Slam to reach the room below.
You’ll run into a gauntlet in the next room. Defeat all the enemies to progress.
In the next room, you’ll have to solve some parkour challenges. Just keep heading right, aiming for the Ticketer.
Make sure you unlock the shortcuts connecting to other parts of the region along the way.
When you reach the Ticketer, speak with him to collect the Ticket.
From here, you can simply Tent Travel back to the Tent above the Witch Burning Event. Go down and talk to the people to start the event. Once both prisoners are brought in, go left and hit the rope. This will lead directly into a boss fight.
Lida The Terrible Boss Fight
After rescuing Lida, she transforms into a witch, triggering a boss fight. As far as boss fights go in Well Dweller, Lida the Terrible can be pretty difficult.
The first phase is pretty straightforward. She has her standard projectile launch and shockwave attacks that can be dodged with some well-timed jumps and slides.
Things, however, get difficult as you enter the second phase. A table will appear from below. You’ll have to stand on top of it for the rest of the battle as the ground is covered in spikes.
During this round, two butcher’s knives will fall from the ceiling, giving you a small bit of safe area. You’ll have to adjust your position yourself quickly, as they can easily take away your entire health pool.
Lida also summons a rain of knives from above. You have to use slide to dodge them. Keep hitting the boss in between until she goes down.
Head to the room on the left after the boss fight to find Egbert. Speak with him to rescue him and send him back to your Tent.
Drop down through the floor past Egbert to reach the other side of Midnight Drench.
Unlocking the Eastern Gate to Dessicated Castle
Open your map to get a quick look at where you have to go. Your goal is to head for the Tent at the Dessicated Castle‘s entrance.
To do that, you have to go to the room directly below you first. Then drop down again using the bottom-left exit.
Keep heading left and drop down to the lower room once you reach Desiccated Castle.
Go left from here, and you’ll reach the switch for the eastern gate of the castle. Activate the switch and save your progress at the tent. Our next zone is the Desiccated Castle.
