Planning range: 17–24 / Five players / The Barrens. Researched 31 October 2026; beta details may change. Playfulls lists dungeon level 17+; that is a data label, not a verified portal-entry requirement. Current dungeon data.
Find the cave near Lushwater Oasis, southwest of the Crossroads. The approach itself contains enemies.
Kill all four Fang leaders before returning to the entrance for the Disciple of Naralex escort. Include Kresh, Skum and Verdan; check for the rare dragon. Entrance and route reference.

Bosses and tactics
The following tactics are summarized from the Forever guide.
- Lady Anacondra: Interrupt healing and Sleep; isolate nearby patrols.
- Kresh (optional): High armor; armor reduction helps physical damage.
- Lord Cobrahn: Cleave down his snakes; prepare healing for his transformed phase.
- Lord Pythas: Control patrols, interrupt Sleep, and keep ranged outside Thunderclap.
- Skum: Spread to limit Chained Bolt.
- Deviate Faerie Dragon (rare): Control surrounding enemies; prioritize nearby druids' Sleep casts.
- Lord Serpentis: Interrupt Sleep, Lightning Bolt and Healing Touch.
- Verdan the Everliving: Ranged stay beyond Grasping Vines; prepare for heavy tank damage.
- Mutanus the Devourer (escort event): Protect the Disciple through waves. Handle fear and Sleep; ranged avoid close-range lightning.
