The Caverns Beneath Derceto
From here on, any fall from a real height kills instantly — your remaining health doesn't matter. Treat every ledge and gap with that in mind.

The Plank Bridge Maze
Work your way from the bottom of this maze of wooden bridges toward the top, where a chest and the way forward are waiting. Skull and sword markers scattered through the maze hint at the correct path — trust them over guessing, and use Jump where a gap calls for it.
Top of the plank bridge mazeLarge Gem, bookUse the Pirates' Key on the chest for the Large Gem and a book. Push aside the rock on the same ledge to continue into a pitch-black maze. Save before going in.

The Dark Maze
There's no map here, and the Oil Lamp's fuel is limited, so move with purpose rather than wandering. From the entrance: go as far left as the maze allows, then as far down as it allows, then as far right as it allows. That sequence leads to a gray stone door with a fist-sized hole in it — sized for the Large Gem you're carrying. Put the lamp out once you're at the door.

The Final Chamber
Pregzt (Transformed)
Boss · HardA massive twisted tree dominates the underground pool at the center of this chamber — what's left of Captain Pregzt after Union gunfire destroyed his human body decades ago. Run to the altar despite the fireballs; you'll find the Hook there automatically, searched or not. Set the Talisman down to shut off the fireball barrage, then relight the Oil Lamp and throw it at the tree to end the fight for good.
Attacks- Fireballs from the twisted tree at the center of the chamber (5 damage each)
- Deep Ones rising from the pool, one at a time
Strategy- Push through to the altar — a few fireball hits are survivable, a lot are not
- Place the Talisman at the altar to seal off the fireball attacks
- Relight the Oil Lamp with the Lighter, then throw it at the tree to finish the fight

Escaping the Caverns
The chamber starts collapsing once Pregzt falls — falling rocks damage anyone who lingers, though there's no hard time limit forcing your hand. To the right of where you entered the chamber is another door; the Hook opens it, leading back to an earlier section of the caverns.
The Bridge Is GoneThe rotten bridge from earlier no longer exists, so backtrack that way instead: return to the dock area, then head back toward where you first ran into the Cthonian. Follow the tunnels until you find a small opening — a secret passage leading straight back to the house's cellar.
Save once you're back in the cellar.

Leaving Derceto
With Pregzt destroyed, every threat in the house is gone — nothing left to fight, only the house's own hazards (a bad fall, a bottomless gap) if you're careless. Head to the main doors and walk out of Derceto for good.
