Hit the switch, then continue to your left where you'll find yourself back to where the main switch is, flip the lever then head back outside and head to the southwestern side of the room to reach the second lever to open the gates for the lift. Upon reaching the bottom, you'll encounter 2x Royal Retainer and a lever that unlocks the gates of the main switch for the lift.

You'll have to do some platforming again while heading down to avoid getting hit by the blades. Upon reaching the west side, you should find the exit that will take you into the next room where you'll find a lever at the bottom part. You'll have to head at the bottom part of the room where you'll come across a spiked area to work your way around to reach the west side of the room. Now, timing and precision are important to avoid getting hit by the blades and the spikes that you'll have to pass through. To get to the top, you'll have to cling onto the wall then double jump in between the blades to avoid getting hit - upon reaching the top, head west towards the next segment where you'll find more saw blades surrounding the room. In order to reach the top, you'll have to simultaneously climb up the wall, then dash towards the other end to avoid getting hit by the blades, just be careful when you're about midway to the top since you'll come across a wall that has spikes and the movement of the saw blades will be different. Once you've made it across, you'll find yourself in another room that has the same circular saw blades, only this time, it is moving vertically. However, It is blocked by the gates and you'll have to continue heading east where you'll come across a room that has circular saw blades moving horizontally. From here, you'll want to reach the top right corner of the section and into the next segment where you'll find the lever. These are the Royal Retainers, they are weak and can be killed with just one strike with The Nail.

Upon entering the second section, climb up the passageway where you'll hear bugs that are talking.

Hop onto the platform which will take you up to a higher level that has spikes on a few platforms, simply follow the path until you reach the entrance that will lead you into the second section. Hit it then retrace your steps back to where the locked gates were. Upon entering, you'll find a bench that you can sit on to rest, and not far from it is a lift but the gates around it are locked - continue heading east from the first bench until you reach a mini-arena where you'll face 1x Kingsmould, you'll have to defeat it for the gates to re-open.Īfter killing it, exit to the right side of the gate, climb up, then head left where you'll find a lever. It has three main sections that have Benches in between each one, and each section has a lever that you'll have to reach in order to gain access into the next section. The White Palace is a difficult area that requires precise platforming and patience.
