Chapter 11 Patera — Puppets, Corrupted, Excessive Force

Chapter 11 walkthrough: beam cranks with Faro, Puppets, Excessive force Focus grab-break, three artefacts and two charms. No new blade.

Do not pull the head off

Patera is the Puppet / Corrupted chapter. Normal kill: knock the head, blue tentacles, sphere laser. For Excessive force you must leave the head on, wait for a grab, and spend a full Focus bar on the chain sweep instead of the break-free prompt. Narrative auto-dodges grabs — switch to Nightmare with Invincible Mode. Skip the first puppet pack; the group after the elevator is the reliable farm.

Puzzle layer: Faro holds a crank that otherwise springs back; you rotate beams to burn rock growths. Olden Abacus is on a wooden platform after a jump gap. Sweep left of cranks for points among Petrified. Two charms sit in side chests off the beam halls.

No Heroes’ Grave here

If Adaptable is still locked, you are missing a kill, not a Chapter XI sword. Next: Chapter 12: Fading Light. Grab rules: Focus Attack.
