Throw your shield now at the first part of the barrier that has been lowered in front of you. There are some crates if you look slightly to the right. Ascend them and descend on the opposite side. Charge through this wall, which you can break by your shield, to uncover a secret area and get eight gold bars.
To open the gate, turn back and throw your shield at the chain beside it. Press the following switch, then launch your shield at the barrier’s second lowered section.
Continue into another chamber by following the red line on the floor. To reach a switch that turns on a jump pad, turn right and proceed through. Leap up with it, then turn the corner to press another switch. The barrier’s last section will be destroyed as a result.
Go through the newly opened gate after obtaining the Chainshot weapon. A gold chest awaits you directly in front of you.
