In a few words

Below is the main info of this dungeon:

• Particularly difficult, to do once the first set is endgame
• Main damage Aether, Poison then Fire
• Lots of loot and experience, high density of bosses and creeps
• The perfect place to collect ugdenbloom flower, a component of craft late game
• The maps are as follows: Coven, Ancient Grove, "skeleton key", Feral Thicket, Tainted wood (end)

Ancient grove

Starting from the convent in act 6, go straight to find the Ancient Grove. You will already be able to collect some loot and flowers. If you are there for the dungeon challenge, go directly to the boss located at the bottom of the map, taking care to kill the elites on the road.

Once Ragarroth The Tormented (Manticore Chtonic) is killed, use the Skeleton Key to change zones. This boss is not particularly hard, still think about kit if necessary.

Feral thicket

Serious things begin! Turn left to get the first area which will lead to waves of creep (be careful, it stings), then go to the merchant who sells several blueprints (remember to have some coins aside!). Go through the middle to kill Gulgazor (a crab boss), then go up towards Slathsarr Aethergaze (a beast basilisk boss) specializing in Aether and poison.

Consider taking a detour to the shrine if you have the necessary equipment.

You can then either go directly to the next area (you will be next to it) or clean up the rest of the map.

Tainted wood

Last stage of the dungeon, with a very nice boss at the end. Take to your right to break a secret wall and clean the area. Take the exit of this area to the north and come back to the middle of the map to kill boss Vilgazor (beast boss). You can go to the side to kill Chtonics (beware of chaos damage / vitality), then go up towards the boss.

You will now face Gargabol, Heart of the Wild (Eldritch Plant Boss). The first form is a good joke where it dies very quickly to take its true form. It has three attacks that hurt extremely:

• a melee attack, avoid at all costs if you are not tank
• a fire / physical meteor, she won't get you one shot but force a potion / heal
• a fire / physical volcano, do not stay on it otherwise you will die very quickly

Consider using your buff and kit potions to avoid the volcano which has a really huge DPS. The sparks on the side will also give you a hard time, in short ... good luck!
