Notes

Bugged statue(s) near Eredon Terrace.

• If you come here from Cavalon via Archipelagos, note that there is no priest with bounty at the shrine at the Archipelagos exit.
• Vanquisher runs of this area without active quests requires defeating around 185 foes. Including quest influences, it has been reported to range from 153 to 268.
  • The quest Scouting Maishang Hills spawns Kurzick groups, making it much longer.
  • Enter from one of the three outposts to get the blessing for vanquishing. The shrines nearest the Archipelagos exit have no Kurzick or Luxon Priests.
  • There are 5 hidden Oni groups (each consisting of 3 or 4 of them):
    • The path heading south from Eredon Terrace.
    • The path heading southwest from Eredon Terrace.
    • Southeastern path from the Balthazar shrine.
    • Southwestern path from the Balthazar shrine.
    • The narrow path to the west of the high bridge near the center.
• When vanquishing, remember to visit both areas of sea; the one near Cavalon has 1 group, while the sea area near Gyala Hatchery has 3.
• Exploring this area will contribute approximately 3.1% towards Canthan Cartographer title.

Bug.The resurrection shrine near Eredon Terrace has the statues of Dwayna and Balthazar mixed up. Only the Champion of Balthazar can appear.
