Walkthrough

    As soon as you enter this area, you'll see a barrel, a wooden crate, and a sack right in front of you. Grab whatever goodies they're holding.
  2. 2
    Head through the west door. Once you reach the top of the stairs, you'll find some chests. Open them up!

    Go north and look for the far left door. Inside, you'll find two more chests to loot.
  5. 5
    Move to the next room over. There's another chest waiting for you there. Don't forget the one in the room after that, either.
  6. 6
    Now, open the east door and proceed east through another doorway. You'll encounter some ranged enemies here, so deal with them.
  7. 7
    After that, enter the south area in the room you just cleared. Be careful, as there are leghold traps scattered around. You'll also face a tough **Genlock Master Assassin** here, so be ready for a fight. Check the three wooden crates in this room for more loot.
  8. 8
    Head south from here. You'll have to fight two Ogres and a Hurlock Emissary. There are six chests and a wooden crate scattered around the sides of this area, packed with useful consumable items for the upcoming final battle.
  9. 9
    Once you've cleared this area, head to the Rooftop to reach the final battle.
