The Dark Escarpment

The Dark Escarpment

Notes

 -should combine the crown and explore notes above so you dont have to run zone twice (I'll do this later, but the following notes should get the explore in the interim)
 -when killing zagamites you wont have a light on. explicitly use "get all corpse" to get the dagger and flask components
 -
 -the chained slaves objective is west from room that has east door to Aur, then all up to 3x3 area at top of ups - kill everything up there and you'll get it
 -the altar objective: in the lake area, go to northwest corner, then go 1e, then hidden north, then all west, then all south to first turn in path and go south (hidden) into altar instead of following turn in path.
