Notes
- To receive credit for the Vanquisher title track in this area you must defeat 178-200 monsters in Hard Mode. For Necromancers, it's best to use any build other than MM as an Apprentice of Verata can quickly take over your minions.
- While vanquishing it is advisable to do this during the quest The Villainy of Galrath, as the number of Verata cultists will be greatly reduced.
- This area accounts for approximately 1.1% of Tyria.
- In the swamps near where you enter, there are one or two places where it is possible to get utterly stuck. The only way out of such a predicament is either Rebirth or waiting for the rest of your party to die so you'll respawn at the zone's single resurrection shrine.
