Location of the Buried Treasure

The Ruptured Heart is the area around where Abaddon was defeated in ancient times and banished to the Realm of Torment. The weakened boundary between the world of Tyria and the Realm of Torment have cracked and twisted the terrain, undermining the old city of Morah, and creating ravines that travel outwards into other parts of the Desolation.

[edit] Notes

• A buried treasure lies at the northern part of the map. You'll need a Junundu to get to it.
• The resurrection shrine with the statue of Lyssa in the middle of the northern sandy area does not have a bounty NPC.
• If you are entering from the northeastern exit of the Mouth of Torment, there are two of either Shambling Mesas or Sandstorm Crags extremely close to where your party starts from. A fight could take place immediately after you load.
• These quests affect the spawns in this area:
  • A Tasty Morsel
  • Horde of Darkness
  • Pilgrimage
• Vanquisher runs of this area without active quests yielded roughly 240 foes or so.
  • The central circular area has several closely placed groups of Awakened and Margonites. Watching their patrol routes and careful pulling is recommended.
  • The sandy area to the north can be cleared inside a Junundu wurm, although it is mostly sparsely populated.
• Complete exploration of this area will yield about 2.5% to the Elonian Cartographer title track.
