Instead of continuing forward, scout the area until you spot a roof that you may jump onto using some ledges. This path will lead you directly to Captain Lotus Vision’s boss area.

Captain Lotus Vision isn’t an easy opponent. He’ll bombard you with beams and summon enemies to overwhelm you. Timing your dodges and jumps is crucial if you want to survive.

Once you’ve defeated all these captains and absorbed their spirits, return to the prisoner NPC to complete the quest. You’ll receive an item used to craft the Chu-Bai Spear and unlock the Corrupted Captains achievement.

The other cells will also be unlocked, offering even more treasures to drown in. That’s why we recommend you go the extra mile to take down the other Captains.
