Once the entrance of the Underground Passage is found, enter it and complete its two levels. The golden chest can be found at level 2 and sometimes the exit for Dark Wood can be found on the first level, in addition, you could get Diablo 2 runewords.
After exiting the passage, you are now in Dark Wood. There are several new monsters that you will encounter here that are not available in the earlier areas of the game.
