See the level maps for exact locations:

Level 1:

• Three Hidden Treasures and one Dwarven Ghost ally.

Level 2:

• Four Hidden Treasures and three Dwarven Ghost allies.

Level 3:

• A Secret Switch found at the second Beacon of Droknar will open a closed door to the north of this level's entrance.
• Four Hidden Treasures and one Dwarven Ghost inside that large chamber opened by the Secret Switch.

[edit] Notes

• Bringing Ward Against Melee should be considered due to great amounts of melee, also bringing an Aegis chain would be effective. Anti-melee skills like Enfeebling Blood and Spiteful Spirit are also very helpful.
• Killing Forge Masters, Tomb Ettins, First Inscribed, as well as Paranoia, Crystal, and the Eldritch Ettin causes their linked Enchanted Shields or Scythes to vanish without ever having to fight them
• Many of the foes are "non-fleshy" enemies, making builds that focus upon using corpses (as minion masters) less effective.
• The Enchanted Scythes use Banishing Strike against minions, which can quickly spike nearby melee characters, so it might be better to avoid minions altogether, or at least to use only Bone Fiends.
• On level 2 there is an area filled with large amount of non-hostile undead. These undead will eventually turn hostile when you attack the patrolling Ettin group in the same room. Be careful when attacking the Ettin to not to be swarmed by enemies.
• After defeating the Dungeon Boss an Eldritch Chest will spawn rewarding players with one item each.
