Zone 1: Sinkhole CaveEdit

 
Sinkhole Cave

This zone essentially consists of two large rooms. In the first are two enemies, a minor loot chest, and a bedroll (b). On your way there, beware of the Swinging Log trap at F activated by the Pressure Plate at G. The second room is much larger and contains up to five enemies, with a minor loot chest and some food at E near another bedroll (b). Ignore door C for the moment and head northeast. There are two more enemies in the passages ahead, with a Swinging Mace trap at I before you reach door D to Sinkhole Great Hall.

Zone 2: Sinkhole Great HallEdit

 
Sinkhole Great Hall

This zone consists solely of one large room, with a small L-shaped canyon in the center and a deep chasm (a fatal Abyss) to the north. Entering through door D, you begin on the upper level in the company of three enemies and a minor loot chest. From here you can snipe at the one or two enemies below you, but watch for the four Rotten Plank traps at E. Jump over the chasm to fight another enemy and loot the boss chest (B). Finally, jump down into the canyon, which hosts a minor loot chest and a Falling Logs trap (G), then follow the tunnel to the east past two more enemies to reach door C back to Sinkhole Cave.
