Seti I being offered the djed and ankh

However, the rear of the chapel forms an L-shape with additional chambers to the south connected by a narrow hallway leading from the second hypostyle hall. No doubt one of the most important, at least for Egyptologists, scenes within the temple is located here, for upon the walls of this passage are inscribed one of the few surviving Egyptian king lists. In fact, this is often referred to as the "King;s Hallway", or "King's Gallery". The list begins with Menes and ends with Seti I, but classically omits certain undesirable kings such as those of the Amarna Period. There are a total of 76 pharaohs listed with some notable exceptions being Akhenaten, Hatshepsut, Ay and Horemheb. The list probably served the cult of the royal ancestors, but why this important list was placed in a seemingly minor hallway is unknown. On the left hand wall of this passage the king and the young Ramesses II (probably) pour a libation on an alter, and an inscription names the list of shrines and gods being honored.

After making a right hand turn in this passage, we find on the right hand wall the famous scene of the young Ramesses II and his father roping a bull. Further on the animal is offered as a sacrifice. On the left hand wall the king (Ramesses II), who decorated this room) is depicted offering four oxen to Khonsu and to Seti I. There is also a scene of Ramesses II and Set I trapping and then offering geese to Amun. From here, the passage continues out to the Osireion.

However, rather than making the right hand turn in the passage, one may proceed straight into the remainder of the unfinished southern wing of the temple. Here, we find cult chapels dedicated to the Memphite gods, Ptah-Sokar and Nefertem, who were the northern counterparts of Osiris. There was also a chamber were the barques (boats) of the temple's gods were kept, along with various service and storage annexes including a slaughter court bordered on three sides by a portico with seven columns. The drainage system in this room is proof that the animals were actually sacrificed here, as shown in its wall scenes.
