Interactive ladder.
Deserted cat. You can find Gosha here and she is a pet. Placing Gosha in the pet slot in the main character's inventory will give you +1 to Perception and lower the chances of critical strikes from enemy attacks.
Shielding cage. Animances are hiding inside. You must defeat nearby young panthers first. Talk to Benessa to continue the "Standed" quest and then head over to the entrance to Arena Sub-level (M9). Aloth will be among the people who have left the cage - he's a new potential team member.
The map above depicts the Engwithan Digsite. This is one of the more important areas visited in the early parts of the Pillars of Eternity 2 Deadfire campaign. On the premises of the dig site, there is a huge cage from which you should free people who are trapped inside. You can also take a look around the dig site and use one of several ways to neighboring, underground areas.
