    • In the western room along the north corridor, five of the sarcophagi will automatically break and release wights if you don't destroy them at range. However, you will still be able to get both the optional and Ransack even if this happens.
  • Starting with lower east and going counter-clockwise, hidden rooms contain: puddings, wights, wights, wights, cultists, puddings.

  • The ogres are being held in the south-east, north-east, and south-west corners (2 each), with one at the first junction.
