 * It will take you to Crystal Overlook in Nightfall, but you need to have Nightfall on your account, and the character needs to have been that far in Nightfall to use it. - Tanetris 17:39, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

 * While it's rather late, no, you can't enter the Desolation unless you have completed the NF mission. Ghosst  [[Image:User_Ghosst_Ghosst_Sig.jpg|19px|I Make Dead People]]  •  Talk  •

Monster count
Are there really that many hydras in this region? I don't know what the average is, but I just vanq'd there, and there were a total of 3 hydras. Also, the thing about 88-100 monsters depending on pop-ups seems to be an underestimation... I had around 120 monsters.

I just vanquished this area, and had 117, and the last group was a very fast - entire map patroling pair oh Hydras.. i mean like super extra fast.. Sloh Em Oshun 05:15, 3 April 2009 (UTC)


 * 115 here, I spawned a few popups that could of been avoided in the south west corner, this area could be avoided entirely depending on if there are no above ground spawns there (there wasn't for me). Spax 23:01, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Fallen Monuments
No one has brought up this topic so I may of well start. While searching the area i saw many different broken statues. The main one being the collapsing female warrior, but behind he a large stature of a head and arm are coming out of the desert. If anyone finds any more add them.

--- it falls because there is a wurm near the statue
 * it looks like a female from far away but when you get up close to the "fallen" one it looks like a maleAurenX 00:28, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
 * tits make me sceptical about the possibility it's a male statue
 * It's a Female Warrior wearing Warrior Templar Armour. Spax 23:00, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Glitch?
It's possible to get on the ramps of the building slightly east to the portal to vulture drifts, approach it from the west side and walk in the direction of the east side of the ramps. You will somehow "jump" on the ramps. Will post screens in a bit Nick San  | Talk 18:00, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Hard Mode from Elona
So heres a weird question: if you come over from the Nightfall Campaign in Hard Mode BUT haven't actually beaten Prophecies, will the party still be in hard mode? Or will it revert into normal mode?
