Zone 1: Arrowshaft Cavern

Arrowhead Cavern is a fairly unremarkable place, as it bears no relation to any quest or other reference. The first zone contains a few chests that contain standard, randomly-generated loot, as well as a few Cairn Bolete and Wisp Stalk plants. Other than that, there are no notable aspects of this area. The door at C is a trap door located on top of a small rise above eye level, and may be overlooked.

Occupants:

• 7-11 Mixed Monster/Animal Enemies (each 80% probability Monster/Animal, 20% Rat)

Treasure:

• 5 Chests 02 (3 locked)
• 2 Chests 03
• The following plants will always be found: 12 Cairn Bolete plants and 5 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 Lower Arrowshaft Cavern

Zone 2: Lower Arrowshaft Cavern

This area is almost identical to the previous zone, at least as far as practicality is concerned; it contains the same assortment of enemies, chests, and ingredients. It is the smallest of the three zones that comprise Arrowshaft Cavern, and is easy to navigate.

Occupants:

• 2-6 Mixed Monster/Animal Enemies (each 80% probability Monster/Animal, 20% Rat)
• 2-5 Monster Enemies (each 80% probability Monster, 20% Rat)

Treasure:

• 1 Chest 01 (locked)
• 1 Chest 02 (locked)
• 2 Chests 03
• 1 Chest 04
• The following plants will always be found: 22 Cairn Bolete plants and 16 Wisp Stalk plants

Doors and Gates:

• There are two doors in/out of this zone
  • 1 door (at C) leads to the zone Arrowshaft Cavern
  • 1 door (at D) leads to the zone Arrowshaft Cavern Subtarrane

Zone 3: Arrowshaft Cavern Subtarrane

The Subtarrane^[sic] is the largest area of the cavern, and is slightly more important as it contains a boss-level chest at location B. Other than the loot and plants, the only thing worth noting about the Subtarrane is the unusual enemy density in the large room with the overpass; it will contain up to five enemies (up to four on the higher level, possibly one on the lower, as the lower creature tends to wander).

Occupants:

• 1 boss-level Monster at location A on map
• 1 Orc Adventurer (10% chance of appearing) at O
• 3-8 Monster Enemies (each 80% probability Monster, 20% Rat)

Treasure:

• 1 boss-level Chest (Monster variety) at location B on map
• 2 Chests 01 (1 locked)
• 1 Chest 02 (locked)
• 1 Chest 04
• The following plants will always be found: 18 Cairn Bolete plants and 36 Wisp Stalk plants

Doors and Gates:

• There is one door (at D) in/out of this zone, leading to the zone Lower Arrowshaft Cavern
