This zone is very easy to navigate, but the large concentrations of enemies may pose a challenge, especially at higher levels. The first room contains three, along with a minor loot chest.

This zone lives up to its name: you emerge at the bottom of a large canyon, with two minor loot chests and two enemies for company. Six other enemies roam the upper level of the room, split evenly between the two sections. Any number of them may detect you and jump down, so be wary. Follow the tunnel upwards and fight your way across the room, heading for the door at D. A minor loot chest is on either side of the canyon.

Upon entering, head left at the intersection. The next room contains 6 to 7 enemies, so use its size and sneak to avoid fighting all at once. Three minor loot chests are your reward for a hard fight. The next room is cut in half by a canyon. On either side are two enemies and a minor loot chest. There is also an enemy in the canyon, which you can snipe at.

The final room is rather similar to the previous one. On the near side are three enemies, including a boss-level one (A), guarding the boss chest (B) and a minor loot chest. Across the canyon in the middle are two more and another minor loot chest. Once you've dealt with them, jump down into the canyon and kill the enemy guarding a nearby chest. Make your way along the tunnel, passing through the previous room's canyon. Loot the chest there and head back to door D.
