Zone 1:
thumb|right|232px|Kingscrest Cavern
This zone contains four doors: one leads to the wilderness, door C leads to Kingscrest Cavern Chert Galleries, door D leads to Kingscrest Cavern Basin Chambers, and door E leads to Kingcrest Withered Forest. Entering this zone from the wilderness places you in a room with one definite enemy, one possible enemy, and one minor loot chest in the southeast corner. There are three passages in this room: one to the north, one to the south, and one to the east. Both of the passages to the north and to the south of the entrance lead to rooms with one definite enemy and one possible enemy, and then to small rooms containing the door to either Kingscrest Cavern Chert Galleries or Kingscrest Cavern Withered Forest. The room with door E contains a minor loot chest. The passage to the east leads to a room with one enemy and door D to Kingscrest Cavern Basin Chambers.

Occupants:
4-7 Monsters
Treasure:
2 Chests 01 (1 locked)
The following plants will always be found: 16 Cairn Bolete plants and 37 Wisp Stalk plants

Zone 2:
thumb|right|320px|Kingscrest Cavern Chert Galleries
There are two doors in this zone: door C leads to Kingscrest Cavern, and door F leads to Kingscrest Cavern Withered Forest. This zone is a ring with doors on opposite sides of the ring, so neither door is favored over the other to enter from. If you enter this zone from door C, you can turn north, which leads to a room with two enemies and two minor loot chests, or go east, which leads to a room with one enemy and one minor loot chest hidden in a nook to the left of door C. Proceeding down the connecting tunnel attached to this room leads you to one enemy and a room with a minor loot chest in a rut if you continue on further. Taking a right from the previous connector tunnel leads into a large connecting tunnel, and later into a room with 3 minor loot chests and an enemy in it. The next room is quite large, and contains three enemies, a minor loot chest in the far southwest corner, and a passageway leading to door F in the basin at the middle of the room. Proceeding straight from the minor loot chest leads to a large tunnel that intersects another tunnel. At I, there is a trip wire that activates the log trap at H. Do not forget to claim the loot chest behind the logs at H before you move on. The room after the tunnel intersection contains a minor loot chest and an enemy. The next room is the one adjacent to door C, which puts you back near where you began.

Zone 3:
thumb|right|349px|Kingscrest Cavern Basin Chambers
There are two doors in this zone: door G leads to Kingscrest Cavern Withered Forest, while door D leads to Kingscrest Cavern. If you enter this zone from door D, you will come into a small room with a minor loot chest in front of you, and possibly an Orc Adventurer to the south at O. If you go down the path at O, you will come to a slightly larger room with one definite enemy, one possible enemy, and a minor loot chest between rocks at the southeast corner of the room. The passage that contains door G branches off from this room, but entering Kingscrest Cavern Withered Forest from this door is dangerous, because you will have to go through a fairly long underwater passage before reaching the main room of Kingscrest Cavern Withered Forest.

If you take the path from the southeast corner of the room with door D, you will come to another room with one definite enemy, one possible enemy, and a minor loot chest near the east wall, south of the large tunnel leading east to the next room. This room contains two possible enemies, a minor loot chest, and paths leading east and north. The east path is not recommended, as it leads to a room with a definite enemy but no treasure to be gained. The north path leads to a room with a minor loot chest in the northeast corner. There is a small connecting tunnel that leads to an offshoot of the cave, with two definite enemies, one possible enemy, and a minor loot chest.

Zone 4:
thumb|right|364px|Kingscrest Withered Forestthumb|right|The petrified forest
This zone contains three doors: door E leads to Kingscrest Cavern, door F leads to Kingscrest Cavern Chert Galleries, and door G leads to Kingscrest Cavern Basin Chambers. This zone contains extensive underwater areas, including some underwater loot, so water breathing is highly recommended. Both doors G and F are in submerged passageways, so if you don't have water breathing or a high speed, then it is recommended that you enter this zone through door E so you can start on dry land. 

If you enter this zone through door E, you will enter a small room with an enemy in it. Proceeding east leads to the main chamber of Kingscrest Cavern Withered Forest. The main chamber has dead trees interspersed above and below the water line, which can make combat difficult for archers. To the north will be a pool of water containing two minor loot chests as well as the passage to door G. To the south are two definite enemies and two possible enemies, in addition to a minor loot chest in the southwest corner. If you proceed straight east from the corridor from door E, you will enter an offshoot of the main chamber. This room contains two enemies and a possible enemy, and two minor loot chests. Both minor loot chests in this room are above ground, the first being straight ahead from the passage from door E in a puddle, while the other is on the opposite side of the water that divides this room. Below this water is the passageway leading to door F.
