Bloodrun Cave is a small cave far east of Bravil containing necromancers. [edit] It contains only one zone, Bloodrun Cave.

[edit] Notes

• This cave contains 15 Cairn Bolete plants and 1 Wisp Stalk plant.
• This cave is a typical necromancer lair with moderately good loot. The only zone contains a large amount of intersections which cross over each other and may disorientate some players.

[edit] Zone 1: Bloodrun Cave

In this level you immediately start at an intersection, both routes will take you to the final boss chamber so it is advisable to use one for the first journey and the other for when you have to backtrack to the entrance.

Take right and fight your way through the rooms, the second room you enter contains a Zombie corpse, a table and a bedroll (b). After that you can either go left, into a room with one enemy and rejoin the other passage or continue straight into another room with another enemy and a minor loot chest.

The final chamber is where the Boss-level Necromancer (A) and chest (B) are located. You arrive on a ledge higher up than the level of the room where the Boss is. On the ledge are two Skeleton corpses, both with Brass Rings. From up here it is possible to take a good sneak shot at the Boss and you can either stay up here or descend and fight the Necromancer in melee. Note that there are two Skeleton Archers on the ledge opposite yours which could target you if you venture down. These can be taken out by going up the stairs to the ledge but the steps are quite far apart and you will have to jump to get to the top.

Backtrack to the entrance using the second route where you will find enemies and two rooms with three bedrolls (b) in total.
