Floor plan
Where the walkable floor ends, computed from the zone’s own geometry in the game files, with the 18 named mobs whose positions are on record plotted on it. This zone has 3 levels and they overlap when flattened, so the control above isolates one at a time.
Height
Order, not a path. Skeleton L`rodd → A shadowknight (Troll) → Gynok Moltor → Asaka L`Rei → Arisen Thaumaturgist → The Thaumaturgist → Priest Amiaz → A Necro Theurgist → Cmdr Windstream → Footman of V`Zher → An Elf Skeleton → Kahaptra Z`Taj → Boondin Babbinsbort → A shadowknight (DE female) → Korven Nisere → Baron Telyx V`Zher → Soldier of V`Zher → Knight V`Tal. 1,955 units straight-line. Why the line crosses walls →
Lines are floor edges — a wall or a drop. 18 of 18 recorded positions land on drawn floor. What this plan does not mark →
Key to the plan
Where you are
One well, three ways down, and a bottom floor patrolled from the south.
- A tunnel in the southern wall of the West Commonlands
- The entrance. An unholy glow marks it at night; by day it hides behind a sand dune and must be climbed to. Circle of West Commons lands at the doorstep; West Commons Gate is the earlier single-target port. With no druid or wizard, translocate from the Butcherblock dock to East Freeport and run west through the Commonlands
- Four skeletons seen from the entrance stairs
- The first room. Skeleton L`rodd is in its alcove; the well beside it drops to Priest Amiaz, first right
- A room floored with pit traps
- The human shadowknight's room, and the way down without keys. The broken stair also descends, and does significant fall damage
- A ruined stair ending at a locked door
- The bottom floor. Teir`Dal patrols hold its southern half
Befallen runs personal instances, confirmed by a 25 May fix to the facing on entry. Bind at camp: the key chain partly resets on logout.
Five hazards
Cautions
- Everything is in aggro range of everything Four skeletons are usually visible from the entrance stairs, each inside the others' trigger radius. Pull one and you get four. The whole dungeon is built this way.
- Sitting widens your aggro radius Sitting, meditating and looting all do it, and aggressive greens will take a seated player they would otherwise ignore. Stand before looting.
- NPC necromancers do not play by player rules They cast while running, spend no mana and cannot be interrupted. They con lower than they fight and flee early, which starts trains. Kill them first.
- Trains here come back A train's frenzy radius covers most of a zone this small, so when the player being chased zones or dies the whole train walks back down.
- Mummies cause rabies Lesser mummies proc a disease on their melee target. Bring Cure Disease or eat the full duration.
Three doors
The three keys
Every shadowknight drops its own key and every key below it, so the deeper you go the less backtracking is needed.
| Door | Key | Held by | Loc (Y, X) | Where |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | Splintered Wooden Key | A shadowknight, dark elf male | −334, 183 | West of the well, same room as Skeleton L`rodd |
| B | Charred Bone Key | A shadowknight, human female | −552, −54 | The pit-trap room. Opens the door across the hall |
| C | Smoked Glass Key | A shadowknight, ogre | −511, 152 | The final door at the bottom of the ruined stair |
| Any | All three | A shadowknight, troll · the dark elf females on level three | −372, −105 | The escape route from level three, so a fall is never a dead end |
- Two keys are permanent. The third is unresolved
- Splintered Wooden and Charred Bone carry no flags. Smoked Glass lost its Temporary flag on 16 June, but the wiki's item record still shows NO RENT, which classic prose reads as a no-camp item. Different flags, and the patch named only the first. Treat a bottom-floor run as one sitting until someone confirms otherwiseunresolved
- The doors search your bags
- Rogues and bards with enough skill can click lockpicks instead. Both standardised across the zone on 16 June
- Key-holders cannot be charmed
- Since 11 June. No shortcut around the chain
- The doors are not the ones you remember
- The 22 May patch made every door properly pickable and said the layout was changed from classic. Any classic map may be wrong about which doors exist

Two registers
What drops
Weapon lines read damage / delay. All races unless a class line says otherwise.
Items marked new did not exist in classic. Befallen gear gained ornamentation sockets on 16 June, so the set pieces can be transmogrified.

Ordinary mobs are not itemised here. These ordinary mobs backstab: a Teir`Dal rogue. Backstab is a rogue ability, so ordinary mobs here carry class kits. A backstab averages more damage than the same mob’s melee.
What this is and is not. Observations, not rates. A drop seen once is not a drop rate, and nothing here is a probability. Damage is what the mob dealt against the armour it met, so treat the maximum as the shape of the hit rather than a constant. What a log can and cannot tell you →
