The training hall provides a more extensive explanation on the obstacles and items Knights will encounter in the [[Clockworks]]. The hall is divided into three portions, one for each specific aspect of the Clockworks. The west portion of the hall deals with consumables, including [[heat]], [[crowns]], and [[pickups|vials]]. The north portion deals with various blocks, including switches and buttons. The east portion deals with various environmental [[Exploration#Hazards|hazards]], including spikes and status ailing grates. Further towards the east are two practice areas, both that demonstrate the use of jars and [[shields]].

Unfortunately, even though the Knight at the front desk says that the exploding cubes are harmless, they are not, and all the things that can hurt you WILL hurt you. Luckily, you can revive yourself if you lose all your health, you can do this by pressing the space-bar (a small notification will pop up at the top of your screen).

The entrance to the {{PAGENAME}} begins in Haven, in the Town Square near the exit to the [[Bazaar]]. When a Knight first walks into the hall, there will be a main desk in the center of the entire structure. Any Knight can ask the [[Konway]] as to what expect or find in each section of the area.

===West Wing===
 +
The West Wing involves [[Pickup]] items such as [[Vials]] and [[Health Capsule|Capsules]], and also introduces [[Heat]], [[Crowns]], [[Vitapods]], and [[Treasure Box]]es. There is an area where enemies regenerate, which a good area to practice use of handguns or vials. This wing displays to Knights what certain items look like, and gives examples of each item.
 +
 
 +
Unlike the Clockworks, the {{PAGENAME}} is not only a great place to be able to practice a Knight's skills and learn the basics of Spiral Knights, but offers a wonderful place to simply enjoy the company of other Knights. Like with the Clockworks, this area allows knights to "Solo" and give the opportunity for private training. The Advanced Training Hall offers something for every Knight, and there is always some new strategy to learn here.
