Fyrelight Cave is a medium cave between Skingrad and Kvatch containing monsters. [edit] It contains three zones: Fyrelight Cave, Fyrelight - Deep Canyon, and Fyrelight - The Lost Sump.

[edit] Notes

• This cave contains 15 Cairn Bolete plants and 56 Wisp Stalk plants.
• There are two entrances into this cave. The main entrance, which is marked on the map, is on top of the hill. The second entrance is just south of the first and is easily noticeable from the road. The unmarked entrance leads to a dead end whereas the main entrance continues on to the rest of the cave. The only foreseeable reason to take the second entrance is for the treasure and to obtain the Fyre Light Cave Key which unlocks the door to the third zone The Lost Sump, which can be found when taking the main entrance. However, the lock can also be picked.
• For quick access to a boss chest, enter via door C (door D on the exterior map) and then use door E to acess the second zone. Just a few paces away is the unguarded chest (B).

[edit] Zone 1: Fyrelight Cave

If you enter the cave from the door on the hill, you can travel through all of the zones of the cave provided you have some lock picking skill or the Skeleton Key. If you came from the lower entrance you will pass through a long corridor with some rooms until you reach the Deep Canyon section.

When you enter through the main entrance, you first arrive in a very large cave room. There are two enemies above you which can be alerted pretty easily, so be careful. If you go right from the big room and jump down the hole, you'll end up in a dead end. If you go left, you encounter a series of rooms leading to the Deep Canyon section. Watch out for the Swinging Mace Trap at I on the way.

Treasure:

[edit] Zone 2: Fyrelight - Deep Canyon

If you came from the secondary entrance or jumped down the hole in the first zone, you can travel through the bottom of the chasm, which leads to a room containing a chest with the key that unlocks the last zone of this cave. From this room, you must backtrack to reach the rest of the cave. There is also a boss chest to the left as you enter the area (at B).

From the unmarked cave entrance you can reach the upper level of the large room in this zone. If you jump across the gap, you will find two treasure chests and one or two enemies. The door to The Lost Sump is located here as well, but it is locked. You can get the key from the room at the bottom of the chasm.
