The Hall of Malice (Japanese: 邪怨回廊, "Jyaon Kairo" / lit. "Wicked Grudge Corridor") is a late-game section of the ruins. The Gigas, a tribe of the 3rd Children, is sealed here.
Jump into the bottom-right brown block structure from below and, with the Flame Torc equipped, attack the brown block structure directly above to reveal the treasure chest. To reach the ledge with the chest without taking damage on the spikes, make a jump that barely misses the ledge and you will clip up to it as you hold left. Or you can find a hidden ladder and hit the brown block with the Axe
Note: In earlier versions, one could use the Grapple Claw to ride the pillar up to the top. Spikes have been added at the top of the room that will knock you off.
Warning: You won't be able to teleport out of this area, and cannot find the glossary entries that were there before activating the True Hall. Also, once you choose a route, you won't be able to go back the way you came until all Sub-Bosses in that route are cleared.
You can leave the area and return to the Village of Departure to heal in-between routes by leaving through a door.
Activate the True Hall of Malice, then at (D-4), break the wall at the bottom-right of the room and follow the path until (E-5). Then, walk at the spikes near the bottom-left of the room.
