- Starting Point: Begin at The Slab’s entrance and move **left**, using the **Cling Grip** to ascend the wall.
- Pathfinding: Break through the ceiling and continue leftward into a new chamber.
- Key Location: Drop into the lower room, head right until spotting Grindle behind a locked door, then backtrack left. The Indolent Key hangs at the far end—grab it before enemies swarm.
