I struggle to come up with a clear-cut reason, but I think in this case you’d say “倒すために”, not “倒すには”. This might be because (B) part, entering the chamber, is definitely happening.

には is a contraction of ためには, so it has the same meaning of “in order to”, but perhaps with a more contrastive emphasis due to the は particle (as far as I understand). Still, I asked one of my Japanese friends to verify and she said I used には correctly in this sentence. It seems that to both of us this sounds natural.
That said, this doesn’t mean that I, or even she, are absolutely correct.

Today I had a meet with my friend via LINE and I asked her again about my Goku example sentence. I wanted her to explain why using ために in this situation wasn’t correct, but instead she realized that she had made a mistake with the first answer she gave me. Of course, I wanted to strangle her, lol.
Anyway, you were right that my usage of には (or ためには) in that sentence was incorrect. It was also hard for her to explain, but it basically boils down to:
「ために」→目的 (Objective)
「ためには」、「には」→条件 (Requirement)
倒すために修業をする→普通
倒すためには修業をする→変
Then she gave me these two example sentences of correct usage of both:
試験にうかるために勉強した。
試験にうかるためには勉強しなければならない。
I have to admit that this is a tricky grammar point to understand for an English learner since the translation in both cases is the same, but the usage is different. Now I understand why you had a hard time coming up with an explanation, but hopefully what I posted above helps.
Thank you for bringing it up! I learned something new today
