Haiju Lagoon comprises most of the lowlands of northeastern Shing Jea Island, including a somewhat large lagoon in its center that gives this area its name. The locals settled on the slopes to form Jatin Village and Linkei Township. The Crimson Skull has taken over Hanzing Pier in the northeast while an abandoned Daochu Village is along the norther beach, well within Naga territory.

Notes

• These quests will affect the spawns in this area: An Unwelcome Guest, Sentimental Treasures, Skin the Snake, The Bog Beast of Bokku, The Captured Son, The Naga Source, The Thieving Nanny, To the Rescue and To Zen Daijun.
• Complete exploration of this area contributes approximately 3.17% to the Canthan Cartographer title.
• Vanquisher runs of this area without active quests require defeating around 160 foes. Including quest influences, it has been reported to range from 158 to 205 foes.
  • You can reduce to as little as 61 if Cleansing Haiju Lagoon is active or completed. Note that finishing this quest will remove all of the enemies, including the bosses, and replace them with scavengers.
  • There are hidden groups of Naga mobs near the small cave at Daochu Village.
  • Tin Dao Kaineng can be dangerous due to the boss' Spirit Rift. Try to pull the two nearby groups apart. Daze the Naga boss to make it easier to interrupt. Keep spread out. Be prepared to flag heroes and henchmen away to avoid the rifts or to retreat.
