[edit] Notes

  • Henchmen cannot enter this area, since they are not Ascended. Heroes can enter.
  • FoW is one of only a few locations where Shadow weapons (Shadow Shield, Shadow Blade, Shadow Bow, Shadow Staff, and Chaos Axe) can be found. Other location are the Nightfallen Garden and the Domain of Anguish in Elona.
  • FoW is the only place where Obsidian Shards can be found.
  • With the introduction of Hard Mode, passage scrolls were added to the game that allow a party to travel to FoW without having favor or paying the entry fee. The party must be in one of the entrance outposts though, and all members must still be ascended.
  • All quests in this area are repeatable.
  • It is possible to sell items to the Eternal Forgemaster, once his crafting service is enabled.
  • FoW area does not count towards any Cartographer title.
  • When all 11 quests are completed, the message "Balthazar has acknowledged the great deeds you have performed. Return to the forge in the Temple of War to claim your reward" will appear.
  • If any of the allies die, the party will get thrown out of the Fissure of Woe.
  • You must re-enter the Fissure of Woe in order to repeat the quests.
  • Make sure to clear as many foes as possible to reduce the chance of patrols aggroing and killing any ghostly allies you leave behind!
  • On rare occasions, Globs of Ectoplasm drop.
