When returning through door C, you will be on the upper level of a room, and able to snipe down at the two enemies below. An alcove to the south contains two more minor loot chests. You can make your way back to exit quickly by keeping to the right and following the corridors. Alternatively, turn left and pass through a series of rooms containing three enemies but no loot.
