Where are the six Orbs of Linking in here?
  • 1 of 7: Actually, there are seven.
  • 2 of 7: The first one is hidden in a room right near the exit.
  • 3 of 7: There's a bashable wall that looks very cracked; you should be able to spot it even if your Perception isn't high enough to see it glow red.
  • 4 of 7: Bash it, then move down to the lower floor in the room beyond.
  • 5 of 7: The orb is the strange metal-looking device. Use it to pick it up.
  • 6 of 7: Most of the other orbs are in obvious, easy-to-get-to locations.
  • 7 of 7: However, you may want to read this area's Notes and Extras to find out how to get six orbs without having to explore any further.
