those of the Blood Moor, and it would be wise to exercise caution.

Bishibosh, a powerful Fallen Shaman holds sway over the Cold Plains, together with a large clan of 20 or more Fallen. This vicious pack of monsters will prove to be a challenge for any starting player. Use projectile weapons or ranged skills to take out the Shamen before closing in to melee with the Fallen warriors. Killing Bishibosh usually nets you a magical or unique item and some decent experience rewards.

Before entering the Sisters' Burial Grounds, you might want to pay a visit to the Caves in the Cold Plains to rack up some experience and grab a few items.

Cold Caves [Lv 4]
----------
The Cave in the Cold Plains is split into two levels, a randomly generated first level and a second level that remains unchanged in every game. The
Caves are populated by Dark Rangers, Fallen, Gargantuan Beasts, Skeletons and Hungry Dead.

*Cave Level 1*
The first level is fairly straightforward, and somewhat unremarkable. The only things you have to look out for are the two chambers filled with Fallen
Shamen and Fallen warriors, and the roving boss pack of unique Dark Ranger
Cold Crow. Explore this level in its entirety before proceeding to the tougher second level.

*Cave Level 2*
The map for this level remains the same in every game. It is a small cavern populated by two unique monsters, three Fallen Shamen and their followers, a few Skeletons, Hungry Dead and Dark Rangers. The first three monsters you encounter are three Fallen warriors, followed by either a unique boss pack down the steps or in the narrow passage to the left.

I suggest clearing out the left section of this map before proceeding to the right, picking up the gold and treasure on the floor as you go along. When you are prepared, head down the first passage to the right of the steps, and blast the Fallen Shamen. Advance cautiously, killing Fallen until you reach the Gold Chest and the narrow passage in the corner. Opening the chest nets you either a few magical items, a set item or a unique.

At this point, you might want to take a trip back to town before tackling the Sisters' Burial Grounds.

Sisters' Burial Grounds [Q Lv 5]
-----------------------
This location can be accessed from the Cold Plains, and as its name implies, is populated by a host of undead. Skeletons and Hungry Dead roam freely, and
Blood Raven lurks in the center of this desecrated cemetery.

Take out the undead monsters in the perimeter before entering the cemetery proper. Proceed with caution as Blood Raven is a dangerous adversary with a
Fire Arrow attack and the ability to Raise Undead. If at all possible, make her your primary target, attacking at close range with a melee weapon. If you have a fast weapon, you can stun lock her before she retaliates. Taking her out will dispel the evil in this cemetery and lay all the walking dead to rest.

You may wish to return now to Kashya to gain your first Rogue hireling, or explore the Crypt and Mausoleum within the cemetery. I would advice taking your Rogue hireling with you in your future jaunts, but that is entirely optional at this point.

*The Crypt*
A mini-dungeon where you can gain tons of items and experience, the Crypt is populated by undead monsters. It is a straightforward location with ample opportunities and treasure. Loot the undefiled graves, shatter barrels, grab items from weapon racks, armor stands and chests. There is a Gold Chest in the Crypt guarded by the skeleton BoneBreaker, an extra strong unique with magic resistance. Killing him of course constitutes a nice fat reward.

*The Mausoleum*
Like the Crypt, this mini-dungeon proves an excellent place to level up and pick up items. Populated by the same undead Skeletons and Hungry Dead, the
Mausoleum is an easy location, and you should have no problems whatsoever.
Remember to search the barrels, graves, coffins and chests for random items and supplies.
