Zone 1: Vindasel

Vindasel

This ruin is very straightforward and linear, with your ultimate objective being Umbra at U in the final room. Apart from the other, insignificant creatures in the dungeon, there are two traps (C and D) which can be easily avoided. In the final room you will also find a boss chest (B) and a bedroll (b). Umbra isn't initially aggressive, and you are free to loot the chest and use the bedroll.
