[edit] Amulet X3
Follow the path and Jump over the pyreflies, then jump back to activate the ambush. Turn off the urns then defeat the Cyclops Skeleton that appears to get the key to the door across the gap. This next part could be annoying if you had trouble with the last battle. If you did you will have to start over. After you beat the Lost, head down the rope. You will see the statue of Acus at the bottom but he won’t let you challenge him yet so head left, there is a challenge. If you don’t have a full blood meter, Use it to power up your Blood meter to Jupiter and then lose the challenge. Just south of you is a Jupiter Vase, break it for an Amulet. Then return to win the challenge.

[edit] Health Slot Challenge 11: Kill all foes in 60 seconds

Pull the lever and jump off the right ledge to the door below. Just outside to the left is another cocoon/egg with the final Emperor’s Coin. Follow the path until you are ambushed by three fetters in a close quarter fighting area with a blood meter refill. After you defeat one, smaller enemies start appearing making even less room to fight. This is the hardest fight in the game in my opinion just because of the small fighting area and the strength of their attacks, its one of the few places I had trouble. If you can keep your hits going and keep your fight gauge high it becomes an easier battle. When its over walk up the fallen bridge for a battle with 2 more. Keep fighting your way to open the gate by the hole in the wall.
As you trigger the Cyclops skeletons you will find an Amulet in the Jupiter Vase to the right of the large window. This is your last one. Keep fighting skeletons as you climb the stairs to the Boss Chamber.
[edit] Boss: Deimos - God of Terror
She will surround herself in darkness and float around just like her brother, but instead of direct attacks, she will summon creatures to fight you. You have to release the power of the urn in the center with the power of Pluto to make light beam down. Then hit her into it when she rest. After you knock her in once she will start calling stronger foes until you knock her in again, regaining another part of Rome’s Life force as she retreats.
