Travel down to the bottom wing to find the blue key, then head up again to the upper wing to find the yellow one, but beware, another Crocodilian guards it. The third area is a central hub with a locked door, two wings above and below, is much more difficult, and requires multiple keys.

Either way, a mini-boss will block the way to the third area the Crocodilian. To progress, either move down to find the key or go slightly above where the key is found to bypass the locked door entirely. In the centre is a locked door requiring a red key found elsewhere. The second area is more difficult, taking the form of a circle with the central path cutting through. Beware of Bloodsuckers and traps, but there are no unusual challenges. Keep moving to the right whenever possible to reach the second area. The first area is fairly straightforward, appearing as a somewhat straight path with a few side rooms. The dungeon itself can be split into four distinct areas, with the Baron residing in the final area. It is a truly massive dungeon with nearly a hundred rooms and many locked gates requiring special keys looted elsewhere inside the dungeon and guarded by powerful foes. The greatest challenge faced by the party, oddly enough, is not the boss himself, but the dungeon he resides in. The Baron is the first boss fought in The Courtyard. When he is defeated, he drops a Set Trinket, and the quest 'Served Cold' becomes available afterwards. The Baron is the first Bloodsucker boss in The Courtyard, who is encountered during the 'Morbid Entertainment' quest (LVL 3 Epic).

I could have stopped him, I suppose, but I was a slave to my own appetites, and restraint would have rendered me a hypocrite. Orchestrating the hideous affair was a hunchedbacked fiend who seemed to delight in proportion to the suffering he caused. As intoxication invariably took hold, innocuous frivolities would escalate to ever more disturbing diversions. They would arrive in teeming hordes, adorned in powdered wigs and pretension - seeking to slake their thirst on wine and indecency.
