Zone 1: Fort Vlastarus

Fort Vlastarus

Due to its Vampire inhabitants, Fort Vlastarus might cause you to contract Porphyric Hemophilia, but the huge amount of valuables makes it worth exploring. Not too far into the fort you will come across a couple of vampire beasts. It is advisable to dispose of them before being noticed by the Vampire lurking around the corner. Loot the two chests and the coffin in this area. You will now face a choice: you can go through the gate to the northeast, or through the hall to the southwest. The most effective and profitable path is heading through the gate to the northeast.

You will end up on one balcony of a room with an altar in the middle and bodies dangling from the ceiling, two of them set on fire. Dispose of the patrolling enemies, loot the coffin and, if you have high enough Acrobatics, jump onto the other balcony above the tunnel for a bit of extra loot. Take the tunnel leading northwest and you will find the Wooden Chest containing Shadowbanish Wine (W) and an occupant guarding it. Past the locked gate is the boss-level chest (B), and a sleeping slab (b). Head through the gate and you will end up in a tomb-like structure with at least two enemies and several coffins; only the coffin next to the tunnel on the northeast side of the room contains minor loot. Proceed forward. Take one of the two tunnels leading back to the first intersection and exit the fort through door Out.
