Tips
The field holds more than the obvious drops. Rare items and powerups are scattered across it, and players who explore carefully find equipment that noticeably raises their power.
- Search the whole area rather than beelining to skeletons — rare items hide where you least expect them.
- Grab powerups as soon as you spot them.
