Head forward, climb down, and you will land on a large wooden beam. Climb down and go to the edge of the ledge, where you will see a scene that shows you the location. In addition to being deep, it is also well guarded by a skeleton in armor.
DO NOT try to jump in any direction, you will die every time you do. You just need to climb down the wall and fall onto the green platform below you. Kill the bats. Turn right and jump onto the large dark metal pole pointing outwards over the ruined bridge. There is a hole in the wall on the right.
Jump onto it and go inside. You will see a hole in the floor. Go down and continue down until you reach the broken bridge. Jump across the bridge, running and jumping, otherwise you will not make it. Follow the bridge to the end and you will see bandages on the floor and a grate. Walk to the end of the ruined bridge. Look to the right. There is a small concrete platform between two gargoyles. You need to jump onto the platform.
It’s a run and jump move. Climb up and look to the left. Now you must jump to the next platform, which has a gargoyle on it. Hang from the ledge and slide to the other side of the gargoyle. Drop down from the ledge. Walk a little and stand on the edge; you will see a ledge below you. Grab the edge and let go to fall onto it, or you can climb down.
Look outside this room and stick to the wall on the right, climb up it and climb out, turning the corner, then turn left again and drop down onto the ledge below. Walk along it to the other end, where you will see a thin wooden ledge in front of you. Jump onto it and press the lever on the wall. Pulling this lever allows the concrete platforms to come out of the wall.
Jump across the platforms until you reach the bottom. Ignore the knight below and quickly head to the small hole in the green light wall, crawl inside, and press the lever. This causes more concrete platforms to pop out of the wall. Avoid the knight and climb onto the platform. Head over the concrete platforms to reach the platform that is directly below a small square opening. There is another lever here. This lever opens the grate at the bottom. Activate it and return to the bottom of the room. Avoid the knight and fall into the open grate.
Run down the hallway to the right and you will see a metal door. Pull it open to gain strength. Inside the room is a shotgun and cartridges! Go back and turn right, continue to a metal door and open it. You are now in a small hallway. Go through it and the door will close. On your right is a lever. This is a synchronized event.
When you pull the lever, spikes and darts will shoot out from the sides. You have about 12 seconds to cross the length of the room and reach the door before it closes. So I recommend saving the game at this point, and once you’ve done that, pull the lever and run without wasting any time through the darts and jump over the metal spikes. You must do this in about 10 seconds. Go through the door and you will be in another hallway. Turn left. Read your notebook for more clues. Go through the doors at the end and you will complete the level.
