Brittleshin Pass (Interior)

Slay a few skeletons in the first sunlit cavern, then scale a ramshackle collection of winding ramps to reach its high central platform. Cross a small footbridge and loot a large chest. Crush a few more skeletons and a powerful mage in the cavern that follows, which features an Arcane Enchanter and Skill Book. Scale some steps to reach the next windy chamber, where a trapped chest sits on a left ledge as you enter. Disable the trap hinge, or stand to one side of the chest and lift its lid from afar to avoid being struck by the mace that swings down when you open it. Keep going to reach some open doors, then back up and use a ranged attack to detonate the rune trap on the floor beyond from a safe distance. Proceed through the nearby exit to complete your journey through the mountain and emerge at South Brittleshin Pass [8.14].
