Notes[]
- This is a popular Hydra farming area.
- To receive credit for the Vanquisher title track in this area you must defeat 160-176 monsters in Hard Mode; this includes the area directly south from Augury Rock (the outpost).
- Parties vanquishing with a 55 monk should let him/her take care of the hydras while they tackle the few remaining non-hydra monsters.
- See the article on Crystal Desert Hydras for specific tips for farming, vanquishing, or simply staying alive.
