Hythloth Dungeon Chests, by Blackheath

Hythloth is a very challenging dungeon, with many good lockpicking areas. Unless you are a bard or a tamer with a few good pets, it is not a good place to go alone.

There are many traps in this dungeon. Level one and two are full of them. The ones on levels 3 and 4 tend to be in rooms with lots of nasty monsters also.

Level One

Area 1

Chests:	Six level 1 hybrids (see notes)
Local monsters:	Imps and Hell Hounds in the hallway outside.
Notes:	The chests here are not really level 1’s, but more of a hybrid. They require slightly more LP skill than normal level 1’s (56 instead of 52), have poison traps instead of dart traps, and actually carry less gold than normal level 1’s do. Not a terribly demanding area, the only danger is if someone opens the door and lets the imps and hounds in. A good alternative to Vesper bank for beginning lockpickers.
Danger level:	Medium

Area 2

Chests:	Twelve level 1 hybrids (see area 1 notes)
Local monsters:	Imps, Hell Hounds. Smoldering Gargoyles and Blazing Gargoyles in the room to the south.
Notes:	These gargoyles will not open doors, so it is fairly safe in this area unless someone opens the door to the gargoyle room. The chests spawn both in the hallway and in the small room to the North. Some of them will be inside one of the cells that you cannot get into. This area is probably not worth using. With too many floor traps, too many monsters to bother you and not being able to pick all the chests, it is hardly worth the amount of gold you would take out, and beginners would do far better in area 1 of this level or in Vesper bank.
Danger level:	Medium to High

Area 3

Chests:	Level 1 and 2, scattered freely all over the area. As many as 25 at a time.
Local monsters:	Imps, Hell Hounds
Notes:	This is a very large spread out area with a lot of low level chests. The monster spawn is fairly heavy too; they are not too difficult to deal with but the numbers may overwhelm you if you aren’t careful.
Danger level:	Medium

Level Two

Area 1

Chests:	One level 1, two level 2’s
Local monsters:	Imps, Hell Hounds
Notes:	Keep an eye out for gargoyles nearby.
Danger level:	Medium

Area 2

Chests:	One level 1, two level 2’s
Local monsters:	Daemons
Notes:	A very tricky room. As if having a pair of daemons to contend with wasn’t bad enough, there are cots all over the floor of this room which you have to walk around to get at the chests.
Danger level:	High

Area 3

Chests:	One level 2, three level 3’s
Local monsters:	Gazers
Notes:	There are gazers that spawn in the hallway outside this room also. There are usually no more than 2 at a time inside the room.
Danger level:	Medium to High

Area 4

Chests:	One level 2, two level 3’s
Local monsters:	Gargoyles. Hell hounds and imps in the hallway.
Notes:	Regular garoyles can and will open doors to get at you.
Danger level:	Medium to High

Area 5

Chests:	One level 3, two level 4’s
Local monsters:	Gargoyles, Daemons
Notes:	The spawn in here is quite thick. Hell hounds, gazers and imps in the hall outside this room.
Danger level:	High

Level Three

Area 1

Chests:	One level 3, two level 4’s
Local monsters:	Gazers, Gargoyles, Balrons
Notes:	There is one balron at a time here. They are a fairly popular monster to hunt, so you might get lucky and find a party down here after them.
Danger level:	Very high

Area 2

Chests:	One level 3, two level 4’s
Local monsters:	Daemons, Gazers
Notes:	This is a great room if you can handle the spawn. Watch out for gargoyles in the hallway, they will open the doors to get at you if they see you.
Danger level:	High

Area 3

Chests:	One level 2, two level 3’s
Local monsters:	Gazers, Elder Gazers
Notes:	Use the South telepad in the little room to the East of the Balron room to get in here. Careful, the telepad on the North puts you right in the center of the Balron room.
Danger level:	High

Area 4

Chests:	One level 3, two level 4’s
Local monsters:	Gargoyles, Gazers, Daemons
Notes:	Don’t let the lack of spawn in this picture fool you, this room usually has about 9 or 10 monsters at a time.
Danger level:	Very High

Area 5

Chests:	One level 3, two level 4’s
Local monsters:	Gazers, Gargoyles, Stone Gargoyles, Daemons
Notes:	This room tends to be well trapped. Be careful of the telepads you see here. The one on the West takes you to the Pit.
Danger level:	Very high

Area 6 – The Pit

Chests:	One level 3, two level 4’s
Local monsters:	Hell Hounds, Gargoyles, Imps, Daemons
Notes:	Use the West telepad in area 4 to get here. The West telepad in here takes you back. Ignore the staircase, it leads nowhere.
Danger level:	Very high

Level Four

Area 1

Chests:	One level 3, two level 4’s
Local monsters:	Daemons, Balrons. Gargoyles, Imps and Hell Hounds in the hallway.
Notes:	You come straight down the stairs from level 3 into this area, where there are lots of monsters to greet you.
Danger level:	Very high

Area 2

Chests:	One level 3, two level 4’s
Local monsters:	Gargoyles
Notes:	There are a lot of gargoyles in the hallways around here also. If they see you, they will open the door to get at you.
Danger level:	High

Area 3

Chests:	One level 3, two level 4’s
Local monsters:	Gargoyles, Balrons
Notes:	Only one balron spawns at a time, which is a good thing. Otherwise a nice room.
Danger level:	Very high

Area 4

Chests:	One level 2, two level 3’s
Local monsters:	Gargoyles
Notes:	Many gargoyles in the hallways also.
Danger level:	High

Area 5

Chests:	One level 2, two level 3’s
Local monsters:	Smoldering Gargoyles, Sweltering Gargoyles
Notes:	Plenty of regular gargoyles outside this room. This room is very tricky, it is narrow with lots of areas to trap yourself between a wall and a heat-damaging gargoyle.
Danger level:	Very high
