Notes and Extras
  • 1 of 3: Watch out for Skeleton Warriors and Zombies regenerating. They sometimes do after the first time you kill them.
  • 2 of 3: You can use the water pool in the center of the ruins to more easily get from one section of the area to another, and to avoid some traps. Also, it's a good way to get to some treasure chests.
  • 3 of 3: There's a total of five treasure chests in the ruins, not counting the cool black chest in the western section (the one behind the pentagram door). One of the regular chests is underwater near the NW end of the big watery crevice.
