Objectives

• Find the poison's source upstream
• Pass the Yuan-ti Barrier
• Pass the second Yuan-ti Barrier
• Pass the third Yuan-ti Barrier
• Discover how the Yuan-ti are poisoning the water
• (optional) Search the Yuan-ti's secret chest (~5% base XP)
• (optional) Heal the Dryad Trees without killing the Dryads (~7% base XP)

Tips and Misc

• The yuan-ti secret chest is in north-eastern dead-end section under the water fall. An alchemists' table nearby contains a remedy that allows you to heal the trees. You must swim through a short underwater passage to find this area.
  • The chest is locked, and the healing elixir to heal the trees is inside it.
  • Looting the 'chest' for the cure will spawn Yuan-ti to attack you.
• Applying the remedy to poisoned trees (click the roots and use the dialog) causes the hostile dryad to switch sides and fight your enemies instead. There are two, one by the shrine and one by the second barrier.
• There are three set of Yuan-ti barrier's. Each is guarded by a boss.
  • At first the boss is an NPC. You must fight off waves of Yuan-ti (three waves on normal) before the boss fights you.
• The green pools of liquid are acid. They aren't very big, so it should be easy to avoid them.
• The final shrine at the end does not spawn until the fight is over. Once you use the last rest shrine, you will have a point of no return. So, once you go to engage the final boss, there are no more shrines until the boss is dead.
