Follow the advice the game gives you at the start of the map about not letting the patrolling guards get an attack off on you; beyond that, try not to use skills that make extremely loud noises (like Explode or Pyro Blast).

The mechanics are explained in greater depth at the start of the map as of version 1.0.02a. :)

Ye, my main problem was that I had too many fighters with explosion like skills. Eventually I got to the cells in time but I have no idea how chests are supposed to be collected there.

The chests open the same way every other chest does. Are you asking how to get into the cells without using explosive skills? I'd recommend lockpicks or using the extra keys the guards drop, but a shadowling with Shadowport can sometimes do in a pinch. 😉

No. I was able to kill the outside group with cavalry charges and then use the door and kill a few guards inside. But there is one medium chest really surrounded by guards. Grabbing that seemed extremely difficult especially without prior knowledge of how many enemies will start spawning. Only way I see of getting close to it is to prepare explosives around entire map, the cell part can be captured.
