[edit] Zone 1: Kingscrest Cavern

When you enter, you are in a large room that probably has at least 1 monster. There are three passages, one on each side of the room other than the one with the door that you came from. Facing opposite the entrance, the door on your left leads to the Chert Galleries, the one in front of you leads to the Basin Chambers, and the one to your right leads to the Withered Forest.

Occupants:

• 4-7 Monsters

Treasure:

• 2 Chests 01 (1 locked)
• The following plants will always be found: 16 Cairn Bolete plants and 37 Wisp Stalk plants

Doors and Gates:

• There are four doors in/out of this zone
  • 1 door (at Out) leads outside
  • 1 door (at C) leads to the zone Kingscrest Cavern Chert Galleries
  • 1 door (at D) leads to the zone Kingscrest Cavern Basin Chambers
  • 1 door (at E) leads out of dungeon to Kingscrest Withered Forest

[edit] Zone 2: Kingscrest Cavern Chert Galleries

• This zone has sections that are underwater

This is by far the most lucrative section of the cave. But it's also the section with the most guaranteed enemies and the only section with a trap.

Occupants:

• 8 Monster Enemies (each 80% probability Monster, 20% Rat)
• 1 Nuisance Animal

Treasure:

• 7 Chests 02 (2 locked)
• 3 Chests 03
• The following plants will always be found: 1 Cairn Bolete plant and 3 Wisp Stalk plants

Traps: To avoid this trap, immediately go left upon entering this section. Continue through until you can see the logs ready to fall at the top of an incline. Look for a right turn at the bottom of the hill. Head towards the tripwire in this hallway, and continue moving forward past the tripwire. This will harmlessly activate the trap. Also, if an enemy from the previous room is chasing the player, then it is possible to activate the trap and hurt, or even kill, the pursuing enemy.

• 1 Falling Log trap at location H on map
• 1 Tripwire trigger at I

Doors and Gates:

• There are two doors in/out of this zone
  • 1 door (at C) leads to the zone Kingscrest Cavern
  • 1 door (at F) leads out of dungeon to Kingscrest Withered Forest

[edit] Zone 3: Kingscrest Cavern Basin Chambers

• This zone has sections that are underwater

Occupants:

• 1 Orc Adventurer (10% chance of appearing) at location O on map
• 4-7 Monster Enemies (each 80% probability Monster, 20% Rat)
• 1-3 Nuisance Animals

Treasure:

• 2 Chests 01 (1 locked)

[edit] Zone 4: Kingscrest Withered Forest

• This zone has sections that are underwater

This zone has a lot of water and some underwater chests. For these parts, Water Breathing is highly recommended, especially if your character's speed is below 70. There are also many dead trees. This makes it a unique combat experience, increasing the difficulty for ranged characters to hit enemies. Occupants:

• 5-8 Monster Enemies (each 80% probability Monster, 20% Rat)
• 1-2 Nuisance Animals
• 2-3 Slaughterfish

Treasure:

• 1 Chest 01

• There are three doors in/out of this zone
  • 1 door (at E) leads to the zone Kingscrest Cavern.
  • 1 door (at F) leads to the zone Kingscrest Cavern Chert Galleries. Water breathing magic is highly recommended.
