Ironhearth Bastion Map FAQ

You spawn in the main entrance area of the Ironhearth Bastion fortress. Look around this central hub for your first chests containing starter gear before venturing into the corridors.

Secret areas are tucked behind walls and in less obvious corners throughout the stronghold—check for suspicious wall patterns, gaps between blocks, and dead-end hallways that might have hidden entrances. Many secrets reward thorough exploration with better loot.
