In this episode, now that we've been reunited with our horse, Ruin, we can take on the Ash Worms and ultimately, the Stygian itself. So, our first order of business is a little backtracking, back to that area where we had to cross the sand and avoid the Ash Worm. Let's introduce him to Ruin, shall we?

Our path from there is pretty clear, as only one gate opened. We have to fight our way through waves of demons before we get to the Stygian. The fight with the Stygian is pretty easy. You'll still probably take a hit or two, though. But the main thing to remember is to use Ruin's boost-dash ability. About halfway into the fight (phase 2, I guess) the Stygian will summon smaller Ash Worms and retreat underground. He doesn't come back up til they are dead.

Anyway, once the Stygian is taken care of, we do a little exploration of the Ashlands now that we have Ruin and pick up some things we couldn't before and then we finally return to Samael.

Note: Once you defeat the Stygian, remember the area if you're a trophy/achievement hunter. That's a perfect area to get the "Dark Rider" trophy/achievement, which requires you to travel 100 miles on horseback. Just know it will take a couple of hours. It's a very grindy trophy/achievement.
