| 6 | Keep going along the planks and take note of the area to the right which is a path that is closed off but will serve as a shortcut later on. |
| 7 | Follow the path down until you reach the bottom floor. The path extends to an open area. |
| 8 | Look for the pair of goblins patrolling the area and take them out with fire spells. |
| 9 | If you don’t have the poison immunity equipped, you need to keep finding high ground and recover your health as you cross the marsh |
| 10 | Instead of moving further, turn right and follow the path to find some wooden scaffolding. Loot the items scattered on the ground including the Regeneration Ring. |
| 11 | Turn around and follow the path to the left this time and climb on land. |
| 12 | Turn diagonally facing left and continue along to find some slime enemies moving around. |
| 13 | Thin them out using fire magic and then loot the items nearby. You can also opt to run past them. |
| 14 | Continue until you reach an island that houses goblins. |
| 15 | Draw one’s attention using fire magic and then quickly swap to a physical weapon to finish him off. Repeat for the remaining goblin. |

Strategy
Dirty Colossus
Dirty Colossus can’t touch you while his facing the opposite direction. Use melee and approach his back and then go all out with physical attacks. Dirty Colossus shares the same weakness to fire or dragon weapons with the Leechmonger boss. That being said, use Turpentine to endow your weapon with the fire property or equip a Dragon weapon or a light weapon.
