Cemetery Entrance You emerge from the swamp, only to find yourself before the towering iron gates of a long-forgotten cemetery. A massive padlock hangs from the center, its keyhole wide and hungry. Through rusted bars, you spot something glinting within an open grave. But the gate won't budge, and there's no other way in. There's a winding path nearby that could take you forward, though it leads away from the cemetery entirely. The only way through the gate is with the key or by picking the lock, if you're bold (or foolish) enough to try.
