Eike and Ren finally descend from the top of the plateau but Ren slips, landing in the intestines of the disemboweled creature. She then hears a familiar, alluring voice urging her to enter the cavern. At the same time, inside, Barney and Taryn follow the creature holding a dead bird deeper down the tunnel. They pass rooms full of corpses, the bodies intentionally formed into furnishings and carpets.

From the top of the plateau, Eike and Ren observe one of the gangly humanoids ritualistically disemboweling another, who participates willingly. Inside the cavern, Barney loots the tunnels as Taryn continues to follow the alluring voice. Taryn stops to examine one of the many corpses and as a centepede-like creature crawls from the corpse up his arm, Barney grabs it and crunches it between his teeth.

Ren and Eike, still on top of the plateau, fail to find an alternate way inside. They spot a large crowd of emaciated figures climbing the back of the plateau and knock most of them out with another boulder. Below, Taryn and Barnabus make their way further into the cavern, feet crunching on old, brittle bones. Once again, Taryn hears an alluring voice encourage him to follow the orange line deeper into the cavern.
