As you begin progressing throughThe First Berserker: Khazan, you will notice that the levels not only get longer but are much more involved as well, having branching paths, multiple Elite Enemies to take down, and a plethora of riches for you to discover and loot. And, of course, they will culminate with a challenging boss encounter to test your might.

The Traitor Revealed mission is no exception. It is one of the longest missions in the game, with many routes leading to various hazards, which can make things a bit overwhelming at times. Still, it could be worse. You could be in another poison swamp. So, there’s that at least!
