01Reading the map

Everything in this zone sees through invisibility. Greater kobolds see hide as well. You cannot sneak past anything and you cannot stealth a corpse run. Every trip is a two-way fight, so the map's real job is showing you where the exits are.

Four areas, in the order you meet them. Kobolds fill the outer caves, with the three royal ledges — champion, priest, king — clustered tightly at the south of that block. Bats and bugs sit between the kobolds and the Efreeti. The Efreeti pool is west, behind the lava guardians. The Fire Giant castle occupies the entire south-east and holds everything above level 47.

03Getting in and out

StepDirections
Reach the zoneFrom Lavastorm Mountains, go to the large lava pit at the north end — confusingly also called Solusek's Eye. Two cave paths sit on its southern edge. Take the western one.
The outer cavesKobolds, and a lot of them. The wiki recommends a group for these alone — they hit hard and take a lot of damage.
The royal ledgesThree ledges hold the champion, priest and king. The priest is behind a painted false wall between the two hallways leading to the king and the champion. Targin the Rock stands left of the throne in the king's room.
Bats and bugsBetween the kobolds and the Efreeti. The death beetle sits in a small room in this stretch.
The Efreeti poolWest, ringed by three lava guardians who double as Djarn's placeholder, with Imp Protectors on the approach. There is no way to flee this area other than evacuating.
The castleSouth-east. Many doors inside are not on any map. The drawbridge room has two levers; the bridge raises itself again after a while, so do not leave it as your only exit.
Getting outSeveral zone lines to Solusek's Eye (Sol A), lettered on the wiki map. They are the standard escape — but they are used the same way from the other side, so you may arrive in someone else's emergency.
The safest hunting is nearest the Sol A lines. You can pull there and zone out if it goes wrong. The wiki's own assessment: a savvy group earns mountains of experience in that stretch in a short time.

04What will kill you

ThreatWhereWhat to do
No stealth at allEverywhereEverything sees invisibility; greater kobolds see hide. No sneaking in, no stealthed corpse runs. Budget a fight for every metre both directions.defining rule
LavaEverywhereFalling in does heavy damage. There is usually an exit nearby — you have to live until you reach it. Plus a pit trap into lava and a block crusher trap, both on the map. Bring fire resistance.
Fire giantsThe castleCannot be mesmerised. Cannot be charmed except by very high level enchanters. They resist every spell cast from outside melee range, and they aggro each other through walls. A feign puller is called essential.
Sonic batsBat cavesTheir melee procs a long-duration stun. The wiki calls them nearly impossible to solo for that alone.
The bugsBats and bugsPoison and disease DoTs, travelling in packs and aggroing easily. The noxious spider's DoT alone does 1200 damage.
King TranixThrone RoomHarm Touches for over 700, and is rumoured to hold 21 in every resist.
Kobold nobleNoble RoomAn enchanter with a pet who charms. The wiki's word for the fight is "nasty".
Getting lostEverywhereThe tunnels are winding and confusing; the wiki lists this as a danger in its own right. The Sol A lines are the escape, but the path to them is twisty.
