Hidden Chamber

The Hidden Chamber necessary for the completion of the Death Do Us Part Challenge is locked behind the Ancient Gate located in the sandy hills outside of the central aqueduct walls, just behind the large tar pit. To open the gate, two Pressure Plates must be found and triggered. These Pressure Plates spawn in two of eight different locations throughout the level, and can be located using the Radar Scanner45sRadar Scanner

Pot Rolling

Explosive Tar Pots can be moved on top of pressure plates through the use of 'Pot-rolling'. This involves using the player character's hitbox to shove the pots around the level. Sprinting toward a pot from behind is the most consistent way to achieve this. Note that aiming directly at the pot is fairly ineffective, instead aim to "brush off" the side of the pot while sprinting. If a pot lands perfectly upright or upside down, simply stand directly on top of the pot, then sprint off, this will fling the pot slightly towards the same direction. It is highly advised to only try moving pots after completing a teleporter, as monster projectiles will very likely destroy them.

There are specific 'pot-rolling' strategies that are survivor or item specific:

• HuntressHuntressThe Huntress is an extremely mobile but fragile survivor with a high damage output.
  Class: Ranged
  HP: 90 (+27 per level)
  Damage: 12 (+2.4 per level)
  Armor: 0
  Umbra: Judge, Jury, Executioner can use their Utility skills to effectively fling pots. This is achieved by using the respective skill while walking (not sprinting) towards a pot at an angle.
• CommandoCommandoThe Commando is a jack-of-all-trades character that is reliable in all situations of the game.
  Class: Ranged
  HP: 110 (+33 per level)
  Damage: 12 (+2.4 per level)
  Armor: 0
  Umbra: Cornered Gunslinger can use Tactical SlideTactical Dive (Utility)Slide on the ground for a short distance. You can fire while sliding.
  Survivor: Commando in a similar fashion. Simply use the skill while aiming at the pot from a close distance.

Day 0
Nightmare. I find myself in the middle of a desert - with no other survivors in sight. I scavenged for resources, but soon giant insects began to crawl out of the earth and take aggressive stances. Once they gathered their numbers - and presumably their confidence - they charged me. 

In avoiding their assault, I slipped and fell backwards into a waterfall of mysterious liquid. I tumbled within as it rushed me down, deep into an underground cavern. I crawled out, and thankfully the insects have stopped following me. I may have broken my leg - but thankfully CHIT(?) I have a healing drone to administer aid. It will take a few days to get my strength back. 

Day 1
I am grateful that I repaired this drone before my untimely tumble - I would assuredly be dead without it. My vision is blurry - I fear I have also suffered a CHIT concussion. My leg has begun to feel better. I will have to continue to wait. I grow hungry.

Day 2
My healing drone has stopped giving me aid. It hovers far away now - and moves back as I move forward. I've been feeling nauseous, and have been feeling the urge to CHIT CHIT vomit. I occasionally spit out black liquid - I fear something is gravely wrong.

Day 3
My CHIT CHIT drone has left.  I have CHIT lost my vision. My mouth and eyes fill with foul dark liquid. I am alone.

Day 9

Post-rework, all of these items are entirely redundant and serve no purpose (unless Artifact of Evolution is enabled) as Elder Lemurian's attacks cannot even trigger the bands effects. As such, both Lemurians are nothing more than Elites with odd stats.
