The Upper Prison is an area in The Prison in Act 1. This area has no waypoint and is connected to The Lower Prison in The Prison.

The Upper Prison contains two additional sub-areas: The Warden’s Quarters and The Warden’s Chambers. The door to the Warden’s Quarters is randomly located in the Upper Prison and leads to the player’s first encounter with Piety of Theopolis, an NPC who speaks and then vanishes. Beyond Piety is a trail of blood leading to the Warden’s Chambers and the Brutus, Lord Incarcerator boss fight.
Talk to Tarkleigh to start the quest after entering The Ledge or encountering Brutus in the Upper Prison.
Brutus hits are slow but hard. Pay attention to his movement, when he starts his ground slam attack, do your best to dodge it. He can also pull you in with his chain, and although this ability can hit his allies, it will not damage them. As the fight progresses Brutus starts using spike traps and calls for reinforcements from caged skeletons that are hanging from the ceiling.

Quest Complete – You have killed Brutus and found a way through the Prison. Talk to Tarkleigh in town for a reward.
