Hidden Area in Act 1?

I don't think I noticed my first time thru, but I see some land to the South East of Burrwitch Estates. If your on the steps where it says "Warden krieg" and you look at the map to the SE there is a road. Across that road and a little further south I can see what is clearly land, but no where to get it and i've been all over the place.

Is there some hidden way to get to this area or is just random land? maybe possible expansion zone?

There is Hallowed Hills : http://grimdawn.wikia.com/wiki/Hallowed_Hill

And East March : http://grimdawn.wikia.com/wiki/East_Marsh (you will need dynamite for that part, but don't worry you will explore it later with a side quest, you don't need to rush it)

Also while this is not what you asked about, another that could very easily be missed is a small island to the West that you can access if you follow the coastline to the west as soon as you leave devil's Crossing and when you see a row boat there, you can click that to get ported to that Island, is lvl 8-10 mobs there, as well as a Lore entry page. Mtself i Accidnetly clikc that rowboat when I was fighting there with my lvl 2 or 3 arcanist i think it was :P, quickly turned around after the first mobs there :P

Why would you turn around? I go there at level 1 and clear the island. Easily gets you to level 5. Lol

Yup I always get level 2-3 then go to the island and clear it. Depending on your build you may need to pull the mobs carefully at first but its completely doable and completely worth it. You should gain 2 levels minimum for clearing it. If you smash the one bookcase in the house and get lucky and get an extra random lore note you will gain 3 levels total from the experience for that.

If you find a weapon other than the starting dagger/club you can go there at level 1 and be fine.

I think it's better to just clear out that first little area around the boat first (including Francis' corpse) and then head in. That way you for sure found (usually) a few items to prep you and gotten a level or 2. Makes it a little less tedious to clear the island.

Need to be Honored reputation with DC to get the quest from the inventor.

Unless you farm for rep you won't get that until Elite difficulty.

does he ever finish the invention? ive done it on multiple characters and multiple playthrus. he just acts like there must be something else in there still. gives you a choice to say, i'm not going back or i think thats all there was.. nothing changes. no progress is made.
