Make Your Way to the Surface
Get Back to the Castle
| Map Location | In-Game Location |
|---|---|
 |
 |
Follow the path ahead and ride the elevator at the end to get back to the castle interior. Immediately to your left are two Requests: Jewel Thief and The Disgrace of the Salazar Family, as well as a room where you can find the merchant.
Reach the Clock Tower
| Map Location | In-Game Location |
|---|---|
 |
 |
Ride the cart in front of the merchant room to reach the clock tower.
Get to Top of the Clock Tower
Climb the Tower
Climb the stairs to reach the scaffolding that holds the automated Salazar statue in the middle. The statue will move and breathe fire so you have to be careful in proceeding. Alternatively, you can disable the statue by shooting the red explosive barrel on the back of its head.
Continue climbing the tower until you reach a dead end. Turn left from here and cross the wooden platforms for a chest containing a Mirror with Pearls and Rubies. Vault down to your left to reach the elevator.
Take the Elevator Up
Pull the lever to activate the elevator that will slowly ascend to the top. Take out the crossbow Cultists posted on the upper floors as they can be a huge distraction while dealing with those that will try to hop on the elevator.
Go After Ashley
Follow Salazar
| Map Location | In-Game Location |
|---|---|
 |
 |
Hop off the elevator and go up the stairs that will lead you outside. Keep following this path until you reach the building where they took Ashley. Enter through the door for a cutscene and then a boss fight.
Defeat Ramon
Ramon Salazar can now move freely around the room in the remake, in expense of his body being exposed throughout the battle. Use weapons with fast fire rate like the TMP to keep up with his speed.
Ramon will also occasionally hurl corrosives at you from afar or drop acid pods on the ground to limit your movement. Be sure to run towards him and knife his eye whenever he gets staggered for heavy damage.
Go After Ashley
Escape the Castle
| Map Location | In-Game Location |
|---|---|
 |
 |
With Ramon down, you can finally escape the castle and move to the last major area. Go through the doorway where Krauser went and follow the stairs down to an elevator. At the base of this building is a dock with a boat that will take you out the castle and to the next chapter.

Disable the Salazar Statue
As you climb the clocktower, you will encounter the Salazar Statue on the second floor. The best way to deal with this is to disable it by shooting the red explosive barrel on the back of its head. This will make your climb of the tower easier.
Take Out the Cultists Hopping on the Elevator
The elevator that will take you to the top of the clock tower will stop whenever an enemy steps foot on it. Take them out to keep the elevator running, ideally before they jump in.
Purchase a Rocket Launcher Before the Salazar Fight
Like in the original, Ramon can be instantly defeated by blasting his exposed body with a Rocket Launcher. Purchase one from the merchant right before the boss fight and use it as soon as the fight starts to skip to the death cutscene.
