The Sluice is a linear path with no branching roads, but it's packed with combat encounters. There are no Inns or Hospitals within The Sluice, so you must enter fully prepared. The primary goal is to defeat as many Swine enemies as possible to collect their valuable loot. Road hazards are minimal, but the constant combat will quickly wear down your party. Consider bringing combat items that provide instant healing or damage buffs. Stagecoach items that increase loot drops are highly beneficial for this region. Retreat is always an option if your party becomes too stressed or damaged.
