Zone 1: Capstone Cave

Capstone Cave

Upon entering you will encounter a typical bandit camp in the first open area containing three enemies, a locked chest and a bedroll at b. Heading down the right hand tunnel leads to a dead end with three chests scattered around the room. Head to the left to progress through the cave, where you will find one or two bandits and a chest. To the south is a dead end with a cave in trap at F. Continuing on into the cave, the next area will contain more opposition and more minor loot. To the right is the door to the second zone, while the northern tunnel leads to yet another room with a chest. Careful when walking up though; at the end of the short tunnel is a Pressure Plate (E) that will trigger a Swinging Mace at D. Finally, enter the second zone Capstone Great Cavern through door C.
