11 – Prison Cell

This prison cell is a secret area. To reach it, you’ll need to enter the cell at the far end of the prison, and then walk through the secret doors connecting all of the cells. Inside the secret area, you’ll find a skeleton with a Copper Plated Belt, Copper Plate Boots, a Copper Grand Axe, and a Hemp Heavy Cloak.

12 – Gate

To open this gate, you’ll need to pull the lever on the western side. That is, this gate will allow you to leave the dungeon more quickly after you’ve explored it.
