As you move forward, you’ll reach a large chasm where one of the beast’s organs is located. Your objective is to destroy it.

Once you emerge victorious out of the chaos, head towards the green-glowing organ. Interact with it to destroy it.

When you do so, it will move a major block and unveil an area where you can wedge your shield and jump up. Proceed to recall your shield and throw it at the green-glowing area adjacent to the blue icon. Now, use the recall button to reach the platform.

Once you're up there, scale up to the next platform and follow the objective marker. Clear out the demons in the area, and you'll find another one of these glowing green organ parts at the designated objective marker. Interact with it to successfully destroy it.
