The woodland mansion has been completely reworked, to include lots of new rooms, better loot, and enchanters. the main reward for the mansion, the locket of learning, is located in the hidden basement section. Keep an eye out for hidden rooms!

The basement also has hidden archaeology rooms with the “Moon”, “Shade”, and “Slumber” resin brick sherds, as well as a map to the creaking crypt. This is also the only place to find the “Vex” armor trim. Look for cracks in the walls!

The entrance to the mansion. That bookshelf on the top left side looks odd…

Two mansion walls, one with an x pattern made out of logs

Hidden rooms have hints such as red candles, cracked walls, and even special wall patterns…

1.1.0Beta 3+

The entire mansion has been generally reworked, instead of just the addition of a basement. Better loot, better rooms, better everything. The rarity of the mansion structure itself has also been slightly decreased, so it’s a tiny bit more common.

However, there’s still a basement to the structure with very valuable loot… I’ll leave it to you to find the hidden way in. (Here’s a hint, it’s near the entrance of the mansion!)

There are about 20 chests of above-average loot per mansion and 3 chests with powerful enchanted books (lots of mending!) throughout the mansion. There is also a single chest in the basement that contains 3 lockets of learning and tons of bottles o’ experience.
