[edit] Zone 1: Fort Homestead

This zone is pretty straightforward, although it contains a side-passage. There is a side-passage in the first corridor in which an enemy is hiding. Then you arrive at a door leading to a room. There are two pressure plates here, although they activate nothing. If you go to the left here, you will arrive in the Fort Homestead Passages.

If you continue on however, the next room has two enemies and a nasty Dart Trap in the right side of the room. Then if you go down the stairs, you should be careful for the Swinging Mace Trap just behind the corner to the left. The last room in this zone is a dead end; You can find an enemy and a treasure chest here.

[edit] Zone 2: Fort Homestead Passages

In this zone you will immediately arrive at an intersection. If you go left, you will only find a Swinging Mace trap below the stairs and one enemy. If you go right you will arrive in a room with pillars with a marauder and a Dart trap at the back of the room.

The next room is equipped with a Dart trap as well and you can choose which way you want to exit it: To the left or straight from the room. Both ways lead to the Fort Homestead Heroes' Hall, the left exit leads to an unguarded treasure room (Door D on the map) and the other way leads to the main entrance (Door E on the map).

[edit] Zone 3: Fort Homestead Heroes' Hall

There are two ways to enter this zone: from the main entrance (Door E in the map) or from a bridge which overlooks the main hall of this area (Door D in the map). The second way gives a good vantage point to attack one of the marauders.

This zone essentially is a large room with a pit in the middle and a bridge across it. The bridge is rigged with some very painful Swinging Mace traps. The best way to cope with them is to alert the enemies one the other side and to let them trigger it. Otherwise you should run with a very high speed across the bridge to avoid the traps. There are three marauders in this room and one of them is a boss, so you should prepare for a difficult fight, especially since you can alert them at the same time easily. Across the bridge is the boss chest and a bedroll; a good way to heal yourself from all the traps.
