Overview

1 – Pressure Plate / Secret Door

Stepping on the pressure plate here (#1) will cause a wall to the west (#1a) to open.

2 – Chest / Locked Door

In the chest here (#2) you’ll find a Door Key, which will unlock the door to the west (#2a).

3 – Lever / Gate

Pulling the lever here (#3) will open a gate to the south (#3a).

4 – Traps

You’ll discover three traps here. They’re controlled by pressure plates.

5 – Gate

To open and close the gate here, you’ll need to step on the pressure plate right next to it.

6 – Cabinet / Locked Door

Inside the cabinet here (#6) you’ll find a Thin Key, some Detox Serum, and a Torch. The key will unlock a door to the south (#6a).

7 – Lever / Gate

Pulling the lever here (#7) will open a gate to the east (#7a).

8 – Trap

The trap here consists of a 4×4 grid of pressure plates. There is one safe path through the grid. Every other square will trigger a trap. The image above shows the safe path. You can disarm the traps if you want, but you’ll have to fight some Fanged Salamanders here later, and the traps can kill them for you.

9 – Dead Thief / Locked Door

On the dead thief (#9) you’ll find a Brassy Key, Chainmail Boots, an Iron Dagger, and 40 gp. The key will unlock a door to the east (#9a).

10 – Lever / Gate

Pulling the lever here (#10) will open a gate to the west (#10a).

11 – Gates

To open these two gates, you’ll need to pull the lever right next to them.

12 – Noximander Lair

You’ll encounter two Noximanders in this lair. For best results, you should fight them in the entrance doorway so you’ll only have to face them one at a time. It’s also a good idea to have some Detox Serum handy. You’ll find some in the front part of the cellar (#6).

13 – Treasure Room

Inside the treasure room you’ll find a random chest plus a chest containing a Bar of Mithril. You’ll need the Bar of Mithril for Farwick’s side quest in Aridell (South Parish).
