Instructions
Walk towards the center of the atrium area. As you proceed down the path, a few boars and a cyclops creature will materialize to defeat you. Attack them with your ranged weapons and dodge their incoming charge attacks. If you want to defeat them quickly, then use your magic powers... but do so sparingly.
Defeat the two new cyclops that appear after you defeat the first batch of enemies. Dodge their attacks to close in on them and then unleash your blade combo attacks. You can also grab them and continue striking them to lower their energy reserves. If your energy is low, then you can resort to your magic attacks to quickly destroy the cyclops creatures.
Climb the ladder and proceed down the the right-hand path. Activate the lever and the platform will be lowered. Grab the nearby statue and place it onto the platform. Activate the lever again and the platform will elevate to its original position. From there, you can push the statue down to the atrium area.
Jump down to the atrium area. Climb the ladder and proceed down to the left-hand side. Once again you will have to activate a lever so that the platform can be lowered. Grab the adjacent statue and place it onto the platform. Activate the lever again so that the platform can carry the statue to higher ground. From there, you can kick the statue to the atrium area.
Place both statues in front of the wall to block the fireball projectiles. You can do this by kicking them or pushing them into place. Once you do this, you can walk down the path safely to enter the next area.
