Disclaimer 
 
These cheat sheets are just a personal collection of zone layouts and small pointers to try to 
speed up my leveling. I got the info from Engineering Eternity’s videos. You can find his 
channel h​ ere​ and the playlist for this specific subject ​here​, or click the title for each act to get 
the link to the videos. I thought some of you might like this to use it as well, so I shared it here 
after asking for permission, thank you for this! 
 
The images provided are all Engineering Eternity’s (except the monstrosity in act 10 for The 
Ravaged Square, that’s my creation), I did not make these as they were readily available 
(thanks for this!) and better than what I could do. Should any info be outdated or wrong, this 
is more than likely all on me as the first videos are almost a year old, so I might have missed 
changes made to the game after the video, or I might have made a personal error. I will read 
constructive criticism to try to get most of this corrected and/or to improve this in general. 
 
There are many pages, but there are many blank spaces as I prefer a clean look with 
uninterrupted tables, but I hope it’s useful. Enjoy this and have fun in the Flashback Event and 
maybe for however long this collection could be relevant. 
 

Explanation 
 

 
 
The notes are mostly just personal notes, these might require some basic understanding of 
the game and/or zones in it to make sure the notes didn’t get too long.
