The Royal Crypts

The Royal Crypts map

The Royal Crypts lay beneath level four of the Cathedral. It's a single levelled dungeon strewn with pots of ashes and sarcophagi. It's a fairly small level and always has the same layout. This is the last area before you encounter your first real boss, The Skeleton King.
