Sharing the fruits of my exploration

[[GRVTS]Fat Bastard]

Beware ye I will be sharing my finds and where they are. Anyways you were warned and I made everything a spoiler, so don't get mad at me ok. I just wanna share my finds with anyone who want to look.

So, there is a blue axe fairly easy to get SW of the logging camp. There are two bandits guarding it. North of the logging camp through a bunch of water you'll eventually come upon a cave, and this cave leads to a whole upper area which to my knowledge has no other entry point. It's pretty tough getting through everything, but I've found Excalibur and a Epic Axe alongside a host of things in this area. Very high end I was clearly not suppose to be here in act 1, but I did it anyways.

West of the remnant camp are a variety of runes with various treasures to take, and underground areas to explore. I don't recall most of the loot, but nothing really stood out to my knowledge. The bear cave on the road between the Inn and Remnant camp has another blue quality axe, and logically you should be able to just run in loot chest and run. I don't know if this works since I killed the bear, but I think you can do that.

Screenshot of my map. I've ink marked everything I thought was notable that I've found so far. Mostly caves.

North of the logging camp I'm not seeing any way to get to the upper area. If I remember correctly, this is a cave where I saw some random woman kill the large beast, and she paid me some coins because "I saw her."

Beyond that, there is some scree which is a way to get down from the upper area, but I'm not seeing a way up. Any help?

Go through the cave. It has a path going west.

Ok another find, and this is pretty big. In that northern area I talked about around the area with excalibur you should've noticed footprints, and you have to follow those. It leads to an area (which I'm 100% certain is supposed to be found later in the game) with a guy there. If you talk to him three times he turns aggro, and you can beat him if you kite him with ritual daggers and poison daggers. Bring cluster bombs too and so on. Don't even attempt to fight him normally and avoid his attacks at all costs. He drops a legendary twin dagger and epic bow.

Big find for the dagger boys.

For those who really aren't strong enough to face this guy yet, be aware that he NEVER kills you outright, and doesn't seem to heal... so you can cheese it by hitting him, getting KO'd, getting up, hitting him, getting KO'd getting up. Very cheesy, takes a long time.
[edit - update: Cancel that - he eventually heals, maybe he runs out of potions though.. will find out]
