To lower both bridge halves pull two levers: One is on a pillar to the west. The other is on the bottom level beneath the grating in the south-east. Access to that level is underwater next to the west pillar.
The "Destroy Xorian cocoons" optional may not be completable.
The long drop after the first shrine isn't a point of no return; you can turn a valve to lower a ladder so you can climb back up.
The second drop (by the third shrine) IS a point of no return; additionally, despite looking like water at the bottom, it's shallow – use Feather Falling.
Neihoden periodically activates some kind of breath ability after taking enough damage. He cannot be targeted while using it. It sometimes causes an AoE knockdown.
The undead optional requires Knock or picking the lock to complete, and can be found in the east wing past the first dropdown.
Trivia: The undead adventurers optional is a reference to the 1980s D&D Cartoon, which starred a Cavalier, Ranger, Magician, Acrobat, Barbarian, and Thief. The (deceased) Acrobat can be found elsewhere, while the Thief... well, the acrobat got backstabbed by someone.
