Interactive map Non-interactive maps

The Falls are among the most spectacular sights in the Maguuma Jungle, but travelers seldom have the time for sightseeing with all the skale, trolls, and other unsavory creatures trying to eat them. A lucky or persistent adventurer may come across a Forgotten Fan or Totem Axe here.

Landmarks

• Temple of Balthazar
• The Falls

Getting there

Start from Ventari's Refuge and travel south through Ettin's Back and past Reed Bog. The secondary quest Blood And Smoke given outside Ventari's Refuge will lead here.

Notes

• Complete exploration of this area contributes approximately 1.9% to the Tyrian Cartographer title
• Vanquisher runs of this area without active quests require defeating around 300 foes. Including quest influences, it has been reported to range from 279 to 327.
  • There are usually hidden Life Pods around Root Behemoths. Bring anti-caster or anti-healing skills to counter them; there can be as many as four or five of them.
  • Remember to keep the party spread out when confronting Wind Riders: their AoE interrupts and damage can easily wipe the unprepared.
• The only resurrection shrine in this area is at the portal to Reed Bog, which is also the only entrance to the zone.
• The Redwood Shepherds use Spirit of Primal Echoes, increasing the energy costs of using signets.
• The water in the area imbues you (and allied creatures) with the Fount of Maguuma.
• As with other bridges in the game, there are height issues with the vines that lead across valleys or chasms. In particular, you can attack or be attacked from the main vine (leading to The Falls area of the zone, southeast from Agrippa Stonehands). You can pickup dropped items that are supposedly below (or above) you. Also, creatures can body block each other, even if one is on the ground and the other is on the vine.
