The giant groans as more spears fly, falling to the floor and kicking up a wall of dust. When the spear hits, it erupts into flame. She takes a flaming spear from one man as another throws a container of black liquid, presumably oil, onto the giant. She tells her men to hold back until the giant rests against the stone wall. A giant crawls, appearing weak or tired, ahead.
She pushes on, voices warning that “death is coming”, and inspects skeletal remains littering the cave. In the mist, something massive lurks and groans. She jogs in with the group, flaming torches and spears in hand, though Senua herself appears unarmed.
