1. Open the statue
In the center of the Village of Outcasts, pull the statue gate to reveal the entrance to the dungeon.
2. The four large rooms
Explore the two heights of the first rooms. Take map, compass and Big Key; gateways sometimes hide lower access points.
3. Access the attic
Go through the large north door. Look for the keys under the skulls and use a bomb to activate the crystal after your passage.
4. Open the ceiling
Upstairs, go to the room lit by a window. Throw a bomb at the crack in the middle of the light beam.
5. Find the captive
Go back down to the cells, lift the big block and open the prison. Talk to the girl and take the key from the chest.
6. Take the Titan’s Mitt
In the room to the southwest, lower an obstacle with the Hammer and quickly open the large chest before the floor collapses.
7. Bring the captive to the light
Go back to the room under the attic and cross the sunbeam with her. Prepare for battle.
8. Complete the dungeon
Defeat Blind and take the rewards. The Mitt now allows you to lift black rocks.

Hit the head attached to the body. After several blows, it comes off and another one appears. Avoid floating heads and focus attacks on the body.
