Boss locations[edit]

I've found the following boss locations:

  • Brynn - eastern edge, south of dungeon entrance
  • Morbin - south of center
  • Waray - west of center, southwest corner of marsh

I couldn't find Joffs. I think he may not spawn during Give Peace a Chance. -- Gordon Ecker 23:51, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

I've found Joffs along the southern edge, just west of Bloodstone Caves. --Valshia 00:29, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
Let me amend that by saying I recall running into an ele boss there, but didn't take a screenshot. The screenshot I do have of Joffs' location is in Riven Earth. --Valshia 00:39, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
I can't find Joffs or any other Elementalist boss along the southern edge. Maybe they accidentally gave Joffs two spawn points and fixed it in one of the updates. -- Gordon Ecker 09:14, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
Anyway, I've removed Joffs. -- Gordon Ecker 06:09, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Hayda[edit]

  • Shouldnt she be listed as a NPC?

Horrible, HORRIBLE I say![edit]

Nastiest place in the game to try and vanquish, period. Astralphoenix777 01:00, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

I think Arbor Bay beats it. --83.4.159.22 13:25, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Vanquisher[edit]

Me and a guildie just did this with 315 foes killed so going to change the ammount. Simzy User Truesimzy mysig.jpg 19:43, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

I did it with 314 kills might need to change the amount.Longway 15:21, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
326 foes, 1hr 14min, vanq/maping. PATROLS. Loads of physicals here so take appropriate skills for it. There are some prot spiders & rit healers here along with blood necros that really do deserve shutdown aswell but dont go overboard. This map I was expecting to have to run the entire area several times at the end to find the last group, however it didnt happen and ended unexpectedly on last mob of the map clearing. This may be in part to the fact the dinos move very fast here and you end up getting run over by them somewhere on their long patrols. Justice 23:43, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
322 foes. Did it on 'Talk like Pirate' event and picked up like 5 or 6 bottles of Grog. 2 warriors, Discord-way Necros, Ineptitude / Panic Mesmers, and myself a Smite monk with Ebon Battle Standard of Honor. To those who is new to vanquish this area: kill the Raptor group first once you spot them, or that would contribute to party wipe while you are fighting with another group Grizzly07 15:42, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

Giant head....floating rocks[edit]

anyone know anything about the gigantic head with the waterfall mouth surrounded by floating rocks in the northeast corner?The Alice 16:27, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

No, but I think I will be checking it out tonight. As for vanquishing, I used to absolutely hate the entire Tarnished Coast. But now that I am running Can't Touch This on my imbagon, I don't think I will have the same complaints. Totally negating Twisting Jaws seems like it would reduce the danger quite a bit.

There's another head encaved in the mountain ridge in the east, following you with it's eyes. He dun luke happy. BlazeRick 09:28, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
To clarify the waterfall head is in the NW corner in the ocean and not NE by the dungeon. I was wondering why there was nothing there... Bluespider 01:13, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Tips for VQ'ing SS[edit]

I Vq'd this place, it was easy on my mesmer with good heroes. I did wipe once by the Simians and almost wiped by the ceratadon. Once time I was fighting an argadon group and 2 raptor groups run into us, we took care of them. Here's some tips for the VQ.

Raptors - For these guys just bring an ineptitude mesmer. Anti-Melee spells. Argadon - For these guys just bring single enemy spells, Ebon Vanguard Sin Support, Mistrust. Ceratons - For these guys its not as hard, just bring Enchant Removals and Panic. It still might result in a wipe though unless you bring an Imbagon or Tank.

Also, bring a paragon hero with "Can't Touch This!" for twisting Jaws.

Here's an SS of where I went on the map to find the foes. Might save you some time searching: http://i.imgur.com/2ETPKeR.jpg

Location of Tekks and Giriff[edit]

Just went to do this today, and noticed that the location of Tekks and Giriff are just south of the entrance to Bogroot Growths, rather than outside Gadd's Encampment as all the maps would seem to suggest ClassicKiriyama (talk) 23:57, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

You mistake the caption of the maps with the location marker. The latter is where it should be. Look closer.
But you're right, can be confusing.
You could improve the map by moving the caption to the top of the map, next to the marker. Would be nice, thanks. Steve1 (talk) 06:58, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
