South-east door

 

There are bugs here that prevent from completing this area correctly but I have done as much as possible for the sake of completeness.

 

Go south and climb the ladder and back flip into a tunnel. Go north through the open doors to emerge onto the second floor balcony. Go east to open the doors in the south wall. Enter the tunnel and kill a dog. Go to the end for another spike ball run. This time hop onto the slope and jump back into the tunnel. The spike ball rolls past you. Now you can run down the slope and jump over the spike ball in the pit. Enter the tunnel and the gate closes behind you. Follow the tunnel to see a fire on the floor. Face the west wall and side jump over the fire. Quickly crouch and crawl into the lower crawl space as a spike ball rolls behind you. Get out of the crawl space and go south up the ramp that the spike ball rolled down. Turn around and jump up to grab a ladder on the north wall. Pull up into a crawl space for secret #6 and Uzi ammo. Get back out for go back to the crawl space near the fire. Follow the crawl space and drop into a room. Kill two bats and go up the stairs in the west wall. Enter the room to kill a harpy. Go to the west wall and pry the Fuoco Key (Chiave del Fuoco) off the wall. Search the coffin for red shotgun shells.

 

There are two options here. If you came here second after the south-west room, then pick up the torch off the central platform and light it on a wall torch. Go back down the stairs and light the basket in the center of the room. A block rises in the room up the stairs. Anyway, the gate in the upper alcove does not open and you are stuck.

 

If you came here last after the other three rooms, the basket in the middle is already on fire and the block cannot be raised. Anyway, the gate in the upper alcove does not open and you are stuck.

 

Just quit anytime you want as the bugs keep from placing the fourth key.
