You will walk down a peaceful road for most of your time around in "Three Reeds" iconThree Reeds.

Beside the cart you will see some ruins, going left and following the destroyed houses around will bring you to a Gigas and a couple of Goblins, and a chest with 10x "Sharp Fang" iconSharp Fangs.

Continue further down the road until you are at the path up into town and take a left to find another dilapidated house and some Padfoots, here you will find another chest with 10x "Bloody Hide" iconBloody Hides.

  • The first is located on the deck up the first set of stairs tucked in a corner, it has 10x Chunks of Wyrite.
  • Once you get to the top of town take a right up the stairs, follow the road all the way back and then check the alley on the left side for a chest with the "Forevermore Orchestrion Roll" iconForevermore Orchestrion Roll and a "Goblin Coin" iconGoblin Coin.
