After passing by the Save Point, there will be a scene with Raziel. After the scene, head right towards the wall. Locate the Air Reaver altar on the ground, and plunge the Air Reaver into it. Use the updraft to glide up to the ledge, and go through the opening in the wall. Follow the path, activating a checkpoint as you pass it. A little past the checkpoint, you will witness a cut scene in which Raziel sees the Sarafan Warriors. Use the Soul Reaver to destroy them, then use the climbing wall towards the right side of the room to make your way up the next path. There will be Sarafan Warriors here too. Head down the path, Eliminating the Sarafan Warriors as you go. In this next large room, there will be three enemies that shoot magic, and three with weapons. Use the Soul Reaver to destroy the ones using magic first. Now you can easily use your hands or a weapon to destroy the others. Either head up the path to the left, or climb the climbing wall in the back of the room, and follow the path along to the gates of Uschtenheim.

Now, move out of this platform, towards a door with a face and a red circle on it. Turn to face left, and look around until you see two pink icons suspended on chains. Move around until you line them up, and shoot at them with the Light Reaver. Assuming you have them lined up correctly, you will see a short scene, and the bridge will drop down.

After the scene, head across the new bridge and use the Dark Reaver font. Head back, past the blood pool, and across the bridge, to the intersection. Turn right, and shoot the Sentry Eye with the Dark Reaver. Run past it, murder the enemy, take the Red Shield, and quickly run back before the Sentry Eye rolls over.

In any case, head back to the sealed Red Door it's on the second level, to the right, before the Sentry Eye. Use the Red Shield to unseal the door. In this room there will be another empty blood pool, so, head back, find an urn, fill it with blood at the last pool you filled, bring it back here, and fill this pool with blood.
