Level 1 of Dragon's Eye is a large underground "dungeon" level.
Description[]
This level appears to have originated as a natural cave system, but shows many signs of habitation, such as torches on the walls, bridges over streams, and minor fortifications.
Plot[]
During chapter 2 of the game, you need to fight your way through this level in order to reach level 2.
Side-quests[]
- Free the captive villagers (30,000 xp)
Enemies[]
The map has 64 hostile creatures when playing on the Core Rules difficulty level or below, and 88 on Hard and Insane:
| Creature type | Number | Loot | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lizard Man | 26 | (28 on Hard/Insane) | ? |
| Tough Lizard Man | 14 | (24 on Hard/Insane) | ? |
| Lizard Man Shaman | 8 | (14 on Hard/Insane) | ? |
| Lizard King | 1 | ? | |
| Sword Spider | 1 | (6 on Hard/Insane) | ? |

| Wraith Spider | 5 | ? | |

Some of the lizard men and spiders can randomly wander away from their initial positions.
A small number of additional Tough Lizard Men can spawn once per 8 hours, as long as you haven't completed the lower levels of Dragon's Eye yet.
Points of interest[]
Treasure room[]
Just left of the entrance in the top-right corner of the map is a small cave chamber with two treasure chests guarded by a Lizard Man.
South-west tunnels[]
Closed off from the rest of the level, the bottom-left quadrant is only accessible by taking the path down from the entrance. This is where all the spiders and beetles of the level live, and where the body and belongings of Erevain can be found.
Lizard King's room[]
In the top-right corner of the map is the throne room of the Lizard King, who rules over this level.
He initiates dialog when approached, but it ends in battle. Fighting alongside him are 7 Lizard Men, 2 Tough Lizard Men, and 2 Lizard Man Shamans.
A statue of Sseth, the yuan-ti god, adorns this room.
Prisoner pens[]
In the caves south of the Lizard King's rooms are two groups of human villagers that have been taken prisoner by the lizard men.
The lower group is particularly well guarded (5 Lizard Men, 2 Tough Lizard Men, and 2 Lizard Man Shamans inside the chamber).
Exit to level 2[]
The tunnel to the next level is located in the bottom-right corner of the map, behind the lower prisoner pens.
Hazards[]
No traps or ambushes.
