From this flag, go down the ladder and across the path. Jump onto the wooden pier, and you’ll see a few enemies ahead. One is a Demonised Officer, and there is a Warlock to deal with.

Fifth Marking Flag Location

After grabbing the previous Marking Flag, you’ll notice it is next to a tower that looks like itcan be accessed from above. The good news is it can be, but you have to fight a bird demon as you proceed up the steps. With the demon dead,open the large doors at the top.

Once inside,climb the ladder and turn right at the topto see the Marking Flag tower is across a gap. Jump over and claim it. With this flag, you shouldjump back over the gapand go in a straight line toreach a Battle Flagyou’ll need for a checkpoint.
