Note: Usually go right to find the exit, there is a trial in this zone that you can do later thanks to the waypoint.

Note: More linear, almost 50/50 with advantage for left side, log out after Brutus. We do this because as soon as you kill Brutus, the waypoint is unlocked, when you log out and back in, you log in in the town and you can take the waypoint back (after doing your business in town if needed), this is faster than running out and saves a scroll.
