Sealed Entry - how to get in
I today did this the second time in a devourer hm-farm party, and again, the gate was closed (we wanted to vanquish the area). One of us noted that you can get inside if you use dismount near a gate. So we got in and vanquished the rest without devourers. (However, we noted at the end that you can also get the devourer in). That makes 455 Foes in total. I can also confirm this with a screen if you want. —Zerpha The Improver 22:00, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
 * No, that should be fine. You'd only need to provide proof from the # of foes if someone specifically disagrees with you. Keep in mind, the number varys each time you go into the area.-- §  Eloc   §  22:44, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, this varies depending on the quests active in the quest logs of the party members... —Zerpha[[Image:UserZerpha The Improver sig.png|talk]] The Improver 19:30, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * And there a different spawn sets each time. The same number of monsters are not always there. That's why at runs to Droks, people are always complaining about bad spawns and stuff.-- §  Eloc   §  03:08, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

I too encountered closed gates I completed assault a Long time ago (69.137.69.71 21:07, 16 September 2008 (UTC))

The devoured hack still works as of Jan 2010. Got in with a party of 6 humans and vanquished the area.

Pre Searing
This area reminds me so much of pre searing ascalon.

The elementals, the grawl, even the bees! (When you have to carry the honeycomb over the bridge)

It's cool. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:98.204.100.5 (talk).

More points?
Do you get more points for farming this area when Forbidden Fruit and/or Single Ugly Grawl Seeks Same for Mindless Destruction in Ascalon is active? What combination of quest gives the most points? -- Karasu (talk) 18:06, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Missing Quest?
There isn't a quest section? Something is definitely wrong with this, I know of at least 3 quests in this area. Please state any other input here so we can figure this out before adding it in.--MxBadBoy 00:27, 1 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I went ahead and added the quests. I'm not familiar with the current formatting, so someone who is should clean it up. Tedium 07:15, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Forest inferno
From a lore standpoint, is there an explanation to the fire in the forest? Or is the presence of the Burning spirits enough to justify it? -- Large 03:21, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * A great big titan in the forest is the subject of one quest, he is on fire and probably began the forest fire. | 72 User_Seventy_two_Truly_Random.jpg {U|T|C} 23:35, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Weird
Ok so we where vq this area and we killed all, even some quest some1 had active and we find the last foe.we searched for ages. Turns out there is a raven non hostile on top of a rock. We killed it and we where suddenly done. Force
 * cool story. MAFARAXAS 05:11, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Vael
How do i find Vael to get those damn quests from him.... i cant find him anywhere. 96.47.121.175 08:23, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Vanqing
449 effing foes, 2hr 29min (2hr 55min to vanq/map, no idea where 26min was spent just running around the map...) H/h. The burning forest kinda sucks but theres like no healing there and daze owns it easy enough (used fevered dreams). Fozzy and his gang was a whore to kill. Three things to be prepared for. Hard hitting ele (most is slow casting stuff), Healing (fast casting stuff/lots of condition removal) and Melee (alot of hammer warriors). Despite grawls using rediculously effective condition removal I still think Daze/Blind is the way to go. I took Jora as frontline and I didnt regret it one bit. Flag her way out front and set her to Attack and then nuke the foes that gather around her. Justice 04:26, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I h/h VQ'd it on a whim with a half-assed team I threw together. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Key tip here that I used: Use terrain to your advantage in EVERY fight. There are enough outcroppings and hills here your backline should never get hit with anything other than spells and such (assuming the tank is doing his/her job appropriately). As for the grawl boss, save the devourer for his group and he goes down in about 20 seconds without breaking a sweat. The key is to pull out as many melee as you can first and erase them. I just wandered aimlessly, since I was originally there to map anyway, so I don't know the best route to take. Just take my word on it and save the devourer (if you plan to use it) for the grawl boss at least. Happy VQing! Nay the One and Only User Nay_the_One_and_Only_SIG.jpg 02:37, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Do people really go out "just to map" in hard mode? I for one do not as it seems quite silly to do so when you can "just map" faster in nm mode. 174.17.5.167 17:51, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
 * People map in HM because you cannot vanq in NM. If the map is clear then why not explore it at the same time thus killing two titles? Besides, your likely to kill foes even in NM maping and if your r8 or higher why not get a few rep points? I did elite skill caps in HM. Justice 07:58, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Something needed
There needs to be a big bold note somewhere on the page stating that you cannot vanquish the area if someone has those quests or did not finish Assault. I was just in a group where we VQed the whole area and only just realized we were screwed when we faced the stronghold. The person did not own up to their mistake, so we all rage quit. Some people can be extremely selfish sometimes.... -- Lustre Of Havoc 話 19:45, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Agreed... same damn thing just happened to me and my pug

Siege Devourer
I'm in the process of VQ'ing this area, as I headed in to the worm-field from the north-west I noticed a hostile siege devourer heading my way, I dispatched it's rider and left it as a spare. It's the first time I've ever seen it, is this a new spawn? I have the Zaishen VQ for Sacnoth active as well as the Zaishen Bounty for Bogoff Blister-arse or whatever the burny chap is. Is this a new addition? Can anyone confirm? I have screens if needed. Better get on and finish VQ'ing before I get a random DC : /  Spax 22:48, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Been there for a long while. -- Konig / talk 23:04, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Is it an occasional spawn? When I was farming Grawl Necklaces for honeycombs around Christmas it wasn't present despite many instances. Should it be added to the Foes list? Spax 00:02, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
