Zone 1: Yellow Tick CaveEdit

Yellow Tick Cave

The first zone of Yellow Tick Cave is fairly linear, with a few small passages branching off from the main one. There are two doors (C and D) that lead to the next zone. There is no major distinction between them, except for that door C leads nearly directly into the center of the enemies in that area, while door D takes a more inconspicuous approach.

The first room you enter into is a sort of living area for the cave's conjurers, featuring a minor loot chest, a bedroll (b) and various tables and shelves hosting alchemical equipment (E and F). Note that you will probably end up fighting three to four enemies here as they become alerted to your presence. Directly to the south is the first door (D) to Yellow Tick Hollows, but for full exploration take the western tunnel, which is patrolled by another enemy. The first tunnel branching off to the north leads to two rooms with up to three enemies and a minor loot chest, while the second leads to a single room with an enemy guarding another minor loot chest. The second door to the Hollows is nearby at C.

Zone 2: Yellow Tick HollowsEdit

Yellow Tick Hollows

Depending on which door you came in, you will either face one enemy or several at the same time. The two doors lead back to the first zone, but door D is nearer to the exit in the first zone.

If you enter from C, you will probably have to fight at least three enemies at the same time in the first room. Head west to explore the looping tunnel there, which hosts two enemies and two minor loot chests. After this you can take the eastern tunnel, which leads to door D, with two enemies and a final minor loot chest along the way.
