The Sulfurous Wastes

Locations of all bosses

Collector and bounty locations

Location of Treasure Chest

Reaching the northern plateau
The Sulfurous Wastes forms a deadly natural barrier that separates the lands of Elona from the rest of the continent. Far to the northwest lies the Crystal Desert, of which these sulfurous sands had once been a part. The poisonous fumes emitted by the corrupted sands (Sulfurous Haze) is so lethal that all living creatures will die within seconds of directly inhaling these fumes. Only the Junundu wurms appear immune to the deadly gas, with exception of the colossal Desert Wurms.

[edit] Getting there

Head out the south exit of Remains of Sahlahja or the northwestern exit of the Gate of Desolation.

Most of this explorable area is actually optional, as the required travel through this area is accomplished in the Gate of Desolation mission, however the primary quest Crossing the Desolation requires a short entrance into this area.

[edit] Notes

  • In order to access the small northern plateau on the map, Junundu Smash must be used at the base of a pillar to create a bridge (refer to the fifth map above).
    • The location of the pillar's base is found on the southern side of the narrow east-west Sulfurous Haze path to the north.
    • Junundu Smash requires that you build up adrenaline, which can be done by fighting an undead group to the east or west of that point and using Junundu Tunnel to quickly get to the pillar base without losing adrenaline.
      • An alternative method would be to equip a ranged weapon and build adrenaline by attacking the Margonites on the north plateau from the path below.
    • Infantryman Hareh, who has two secondary quests, is on that northern plateau.
    • If all available foes are killed before knocking down the pillar, it might become impossible to build adrenaline and access the northern area. This will prevent a successful Vanquish, so make sure to knock the pillar as soon as possible when attempting to vanquish the area.
  • This area is an above average location for farming Sunspear and Lightbringer points, especially if the quests A Show of Force and Requiem for a Brain are active for a member of the party.
  • Vanquisher runs of this area without active quests requires defeating around 275 foes. Including quest influences, it has been reported to range from 237 to 421.
    • There are three Margonite groups on a small northern plateau that can only be accessed through the use of Junundu Smash to create a bridge (see the first note above).
    • Bohdabi the Destructive's undead mob in the northwest can be hard to handle on foot. Instead, go to the wurm spoor in the extreme northwest and then aggro as many monsters as you can. About half of the monster group, including most or all of the healers, will come streaming towards you around the bend. After destroying them, leave your Junundu and finish off the rest of the undead.
    • The two quests used for farming the Lightbringer and Sunspear points mentioned above will produce a significantly greater number of creature spawns.
    • There are hidden Mandragors towards the southwest.
