Map of Dragon's Throat

Area Name: Dragon's Throat

Dragon's Throat consists of nine rooms arranged roughly in a 3x3 grid. Players start in the northwestern room, and, with the exception of the empty southern room (8), every room is filled with Afflicted, including a boss (or two bosses in the case of the southwestern room 7). The boss in the northeastern room (3) will not spawn until the room is cleared of Afflicted, and the boss in the western room (4) will not spawn until several waves of Afflicted are defeated. These rooms are marked with a "*" in the map image. The monk boss from the southwestern room (7) will appear once Huu and/or several Assassin spawns are defeated, attempting to resurrect Huu if necessary.
