Inside, I fought several creatures and spirits, found a rusty key, and unlocked a hidden gate that led back outside. Though one path was blocked, I collected a needed med kit before letting a creature kill me to restore my health at a nearby save point. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmbSC9UsSDXHVkfau6ZixxxYRRuz1cbudGp7BMeqLAyLiJ/screenshot_1_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmVCY2LccZuURwHttsy1uzL8FZzChZNbApx2saCpjVFoNp/screenshot_2_.png) I found my character beside the grave that he recently created to bury the old man. then I returned to the dark side again to see if I could find any items around and I found some. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmS25XDwRQBGc5XKjiCAV1NdHPVLXkqvXkzi5tva1mT83t/screenshot_3_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmNSb5fhwMjQB3GUKj2Sj95BRnEJCysFoM1EkJaqhwkQaV/screenshot_4_.png) I noticed the old windmill where I had to go next. But before that, I was curious to explore the mine that was mentioned on the wall. So I went for this first. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmezmzCQiRSk3eGyfwtfYjX2Ye6AazTAtFc5yVPyvksdfo/screenshot_5_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmT8mKFYQu6be8EtPwe1uPVfgWH64n1j4wWzjJ5SBHErhy/screenshot_6_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZy754xeWjio9YoH5UZnvC2rrgPhCi2e4aP2S4s2FGHYB/screenshot_7_.png) After getting into the mine, I found two routes of my way and I tried the left one first. On the way I found a creature accompanied by a strong spirit that was hard to take down, but I accomplished it with patience. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmaUhniriJpDW3rTuu8ixg5sDkV31hUMz8JreBAqkCdkpM/screenshot_8_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmQHqve4tAQvqYDJDkYfSrgVWEoSY5oMbAuM4nsQcFUm2M/screenshot_9_.png) I heard strange noise on my way that told me there was something waiting for me. Then I noticed not one, but around 4-5 creatures were on my way. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmXPAvQ2SsovzNmvBSzY7hA2XTDHUzUsGKNndWxvqCkozX/screenshot_10_.png) Yeah, I took all of them down, and I went ahead, but I found an old rustic key on a corpse. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmTbxe7RpWAserb4ZQswyLrcqXmexA3RbEnuDept9fExxm/screenshot_11_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmQpDaAyHx1Dpw8zxLTT6xbqisVYzBip67CD9NLRSHJN2r/screenshot_12_.png) I found more creatures accompanied by spirits on my way, and I took all of them down till I reached this gate that was locked. But I already found the key that I could use to open the gate. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmcVfTkV8QT3ZouhgGNiRGm64oKax3PDTLSshXzDa6Swd9/screenshot_13_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmQeKW7ieu8zHeAS1Z8tvYdZDU1CqEUTLiJG7wWJA3CFW3/screenshot_14_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmYZYJMFqMYAi468pysUhNv4LBst8qjnQ8p5aFyJJ7noEG/screenshot_15_.png) Using of that path lead me out of the cave and noticed I just came out of the ruin that had the information about the mine written on the wall. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmPfKTEDD64GkQiEkmvgBtPPjJGV8d9AmUNhYzx3Rn2MGt/screenshot_16_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmVhsvsqGqA9j3EYjP4NBE37Hnq9dRZp9bk4ToKS6QFEtq/screenshot_17_.png) I was out of the mine, but I didn't explore it properly, as I knew there was a path that I had ignore so I went back and I found it was actually blocked. But the good thing is I found a med kit there which was really needed at this moment. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmYaKy2njqZ3Wh21L6r686N6cBjTVXtB3sq2bAv9Twoy53/screenshot_18_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmXrUhfD6wUJW3zenTB3oeq2RFAXjKDJokMdngHk9qznJ3/screenshot_19_.png) As I had half of the health and there was a saving disk close to me, I went towards this creature to let it kill me. I did nothing but witnessing how the creature and the spirit kills me. We'll continue in another post. --- **Thanks for reading. If you like my post, please follow, comment and upvote me.
