Notes and Extras
  • 1 of 4: There's a black chest in the eastern part of the middle (main) level of the prison. You have to have a Disarm Trap skill of level 5 expert to open it safely, but it's guaranteed to have an artifact item in it. The easiest way to get to the chest is to get a visitor's pass at the front desk and come that way.
  • 2 of 4: There's a room with three regular chests in it in the SW corner of the bottom (bug-infested) floor. Also, there's a secret room near it with two more chests. Click around on the west wall in the room that's north and east of the three-chest room to find the secret door.
  • 3 of 4: There's a stat barrel on each floor of the prison (one near the trap door on the lowest level, one in the kitchen, and one in the smithy on the top level).
  • 4 of 4: Some of the cells in the NW part of the main level have trash piles in them, and there are several more on the lowest level of the prison.
