Zone 1: Fort Wooden Hand

Fort Wooden Hand

In the very first chamber, near door Out, up to three Marauders will be guarding two minor loot chests and a bedroll at b. At the intersection, the western path is difficult to access unless you have a high Acrobatics skill or an item with a Fortify Acrobatics enchantment.

If you don't have either of those things, proceed south. In the next room, door C will lead you to a smaller area in the next zone, Fort Wooden Hand Stockade, which will eventually lead you back to door D in this zone. When you return to this zone from door D, a Marauder Battlemage will welcome you, so be prepared. Locate the northern tunnel and claim the contents of the locked chest, then jump over the wall and land back at the intersection. Proceed south, past door C, to door E.

If you do have one or both of those things, you can attempt to jump through the open archway at the top of the wall, just east of the western pathway. If you succeed, you will land on a pile of crates on the west side of the wall. Loot the locked chest among the crates and proceed west. You will find a Marauder Battlemage in the next room, so be prepared. Door D will lead you to a smaller area in the next zone, Fort Wooden Hand Stockade, which will eventually lead you back to door C in this zone. When you return to this zone from door C, proceed south to door E.

Exiting through door E first is the most obvious choice, as it leads directly to the boss and the boss-leveled chest in the next zone.

Zone 2: Fort Wooden Hand Stockade
