Zone 1: Reedstand Cave

Reedstand Cave

Reedstand Cave is a typical monster cave, linear in structure and easy to navigate, and a decent amount of available treasure makes exploring it worthwhile. Upon entering from door Out, enter the first room, fight or sneak past two or three enemies and unlock the chest. Proceed through the southeastern tunnel to another room and make a choice; either go directly for the boss chest in the next zone by following the northeastern entrance to door C or continue south and explore the rest of the area. Continuing south you will encounter up to two enemies, a dead bandit and a skeleton lying next to an unlocked chest and two tunnels branching off to the south and east. The former leads to a chamber with one enemy and one minor loot chest, while the latter to a chamber with up to two enemies and two minor loot chests. When you're done, return to the second room and locate door C, which leads to Reedstand Canyon.

Occupants:

• 5-9 Mixed Monster/Animal Enemies (each 80% probability Monster/Animal, 20% Rat)
• 1 Monster

Treasure:

• 5 Chests 02 (2 locked)
• 2 Chests 03
• The following plants will always be found: 6 Wisp Stalk plants

Doors and Gates:

• There are two doors in/out of this zone
  • 1 door (at Out) leads outside
  • 1 door (at C) leads to the zone Reedstand Canyon

Other:

• 1 Dead Bandit (wearing light boots and cuirass, 25% chance poison) at location D on map

Zone 2: Reedstand Canyon

Reedstand Canyon

This zone is even more linear than Reedstand Cave and contains a minimum of enemies, making the trek to the boss chest an easy one; locate the chest in the first room, then head south until you land in a large room with two dead bandits at D, a few enemies and two chests, one of them locked. Keep going south and emerge at the bottom of a canyon dividing two ledges above, with an enemy and a minor loot chest nearby. Follow the path in a counter-clockwise direction until you emerge on the upper level. Two chests with minor loot sit on each of the ledges, both connected by a narrow bridge. Take the western tunnel to the final room and face the boss-leveled monster at A and claim your reward from the boss chest at B. A minor loot chest and three skeletons can also be found here. There is no shortcut back to the previous zone, so return all the way back to door C and re-enter Reedstand Cave.
