Lost City is a surface area in Act 2. It is accessed through Far Oasis or through its waypoint.
Lost City belongs to the terror zone Lost City, Valley of Snakes, Claw Viper Temple and Ancient Tunnels. When it is terrorized in Hell, its monsters are 2 levels above your character, up to level 96, and give 25% more experience.
Lost City has super chests in the ruins with three entrances side by side. A super chest looks like a normal chest and always spawns on the same tiles. It ignores treasure classes and magic find: a 16-bit seed picks one of 65,536 fixed drop patterns, with a separate set for locked chests. Drops are all magic (95%) or all rare (5%), and some patterns contain high runes. See Lower Kurast super chests.
