The part of the Echovald Forest known as the Drazach Thicket is different from most of the forest. There's little tree canopy overhead as this area consists of smaller trees and much shrubbery.

Notes

• These quests will affect the spawns in this area:
  • A New Escort (Wardens are replaced by Dragon Mosses near the entrance of Saint Anjeka's Shrine.)
  • Discord Wallow Lyre
  • In the Army Now
  • The Defenders of the Forest
• Due to their different teams, the Wardens and Mantises will fight each other.
• Exploring this area will contribute approximately 2.6% towards Canthan Cartographer title.
• Vanquisher runs of this area without active quests require defeating around 225 foes. Including quest influences, it has been reported to range from 207 to 281 foes.
  • There are 4 hidden Oni groups:
    • Along the northwestern route moving away from the Eternal Grove.
    • Along the western edge, near the center.
    • A short distance south from Saint Anjeka's Shrine.
    • A short distance northwest from Brauer Academy.
  • There are also two Warden spawns.
  • Occasionally, Chkkr Thousand Tail's group doesn't spawn as expected when you enter the bosses range. If this happens, they can instead spawn at Chkkr's location when you spawn either Bezzr Wingstorms or Bazzr Icewings group. If you've been through the whole map while vanquishing and are missing a group, check if this has happened.
