Mid-boss The Ashen appears in the first courtyard of Area 1 Path 2.
There are two ore deposits in Area 2. One is behind a burning tree in the NE corner of the third area, (the Southern of the two courtyards along the West edge of the map). One is in the NE corner of the final courtyard where The Red Bearer spawns.
There is one Erg Pot in the final courtyard of Area 2, clearly visible on the awning of a house. Destroy the awning support to break it.
