The Eldencross
Collect the Grenade Launcher to your left, then head up the ramp to reach the next room. At the top is a Door leading to the next area, ignore this for the time being and instead turn around. Head to your right to kill the Zombie. Continue forward to collect the Gold Key, then turn right to collect the Double-Barrelled Shotgun beside the wall. Turn right while stepping back into the main corridor to look down it once more, then kill the Ogre on top of the Door you ignored earlier. Head towards the Door once more, then turn right and cross to the corridor on the other side. Turn right to kill the 2 Zombies, then proceed forward to collect the Green Armor in the further grave. Turn around, then head back towards the Door. Jump onto the platform to the right of the Door, then use that to reach the higher platform and collect the Rockets.

Go through the doorway to your left, then jump onto the small ledge to kill the Enforcer on the far left side of the long corridor filled with Water. Hug the left or right wall before moving forward, you will be pushed forward much like you are in a Wind Tunnel through the doorway on the far side otherwise. Turn around and drop into the Water, then kill the 3 Rotfish. Swim to the far side to collect the 25 Health to your left, then use the Elevator to your right before moving to your left to be flung by the Wind Tunnel once more.
