Zone 1: Fort Aurus

Fort Aurus

Fort Aurus is a fairly short dungeon with a good amount of loot and little opposition. Your goal should be to reach the wooden chest at W as it contains some rare Shadowbanish Wine. Begin by proceeding through a short tunnel until you reach the first chamber, which has an inaccessible raised central area. Loot the locked minor loot chest and take care of the nearby enemy. After continuing forward, you will be presented with a choice to head either west or east. Heading east will get you to the last room slightly faster, but there is no major difference between the two paths. If you choose to turn east, you will quickly see a locked gate at E with some food at C and some potions in a chest on the other side of the gate. You will meet a foe shortly before reaching the door to the final room. If you choose to go west, you will be presented with a path containing two foes and a locked minor loot chest near some alchemy equipment.

Once you make it to the last chamber, which appears to be the living quarters of the fort's final Conjurer. Take them out and loot the Shadowbanish Wine from the wooden chest at W. You will also find some alchemy equipment at D and two chests in the western part of the room. Loot the chest and Novice Calcinator behind the locked gate at F and make your way back to the entrance to leave through door Out. It is advisable to leave going through the path you did not use to reach the final room if you do not mind fighting a few more foes. This will allow you to obtain all the loot in the fort before leaving.
