Zone 1: Fort Empire

Fort Empire

This zone is primarily used to get deeper into Fort Empire, where the boss chest is located. This zone has two doors at its end leading into zone 2 of the Fort (C) and (D). Door (C) involves fighting fewer NPCs, but if you take this path do not forget to go back and collect the items located in the two chests near door (D). Also, the interior of the fort has a rather large number of enemies compared to the amount of treasure found within, so make sure that you find all four of the chests if you intend to fight all the monsters.

Occupants:

• 0-1 Monster
• 4-6 Monster Enemies (each 80% probability Monster, 20% Rat)

Treasure:

• 1 Chest 01 (locked)
• 1 Chest 02
• 2 Chests 04
• The following plants will always be found: 1 Cairn Bolete plant

Doors and Gates:

• There are three doors in/out of this zone
  • 1 door (at Out) leads outside
  • 2 doors (at C and D) lead to the zone Fort Empire Barracks Block

Zone 2: Fort Empire Barracks Block

Fort Empire Barracks Block

This is the final zone in Fort Empire, and is where the boss chest for the dungeon is located. Neither door (C) or door (D) is inherently the better door to enter this zone from, because either way you will encounter three enemies before you get to the boss chest. However, entering from door (D) provides you with one more easily available minor loot chest than if you had entered from door (C). If you entered from door (C), you can still drop down from the bridge to the boss chest alcove and take both minor loot chests near door (D), and vice versa for the minor loot chest near door (C).

Occupants:

• 2 boss-level Monsters at locations A on map
• 3 Monsters

Treasure:

• 1 boss-level Chest (Monster variety) at location B on map
• 1 Chest 01 (locked)
• 1 Chest 02 (locked)
• 2 Chests 04

Doors and Gates:

• There are two doors (at C and D) in/out of this zone, both leading to the zone Fort Empire
