Notes

• These quests will affect the spawns in this area:
  • The False Gods
  • Heirlooms of the Mad King (Halloween quest)

• Complete exploration of this area contributes approximately 1.6% to the Tyrian Cartographer title.
  • There is a ship burial northwest of Liris the Sage, which never took sail.
• Vanquisher runs of this area without active quests require defeating around 230 foes. Including quest influences, it has been reported to range from 207 to 306 foes.
  • Has many hidden foes.

Anomaly.Even though the appearance is the same, certain areas of the bog will inflict a Poison condition, while others will not.

Anomaly.Even though your party is allowed eight spots, you lose your henchmen when map traveling to Temple of the Ages from the Black Curtain with only heroes and henchmen in your party.

Bug.A Locked Chest may spawn behind the portal to Talmark Wilderness, making it reachable only by shadow stepping. Be careful of popup spawns behind the portal to avoid unintended zoning.

Trivia

• A frog can be found in the waters to the south of Temple of the Ages, near the collector Sir Robert. However, as with some other environmental animals, it cannot be interacted with.
