Tangleroot Gorge map *spoilers*

Tangleroot Gorge is accessed via a caravan lead by Wransyl of Vedykar located in the northwest of House Phiarlan. This will take you to the The One-Eared Bugbear Inn, which is the entrance to the Wilderness Adventure Area.

Getting to the quests

The Tangleroot map can be a bit confusing at first, with lots of twists, and jungle and ravines splitting the map.

Stepping out of the inn, take a hard left turn and go up the stonework road. At the top turn left (north), onto a dirt path (the stone road itself leads right to a possible rare (wolf) encounter). Keep north on the path, through some guard posts, then follow it as it slowly turns left (west) and drops down to a hanging bridge (cut back before the bridge to your right for a possible rare spider encounter). Go over that bridge and then immediately turn right over another, fighting some guards.

(From the inn, you can also just drop down into the ravine and head north, fighting trogs and wolves, until you reach a flat stone and a fragment of a wall on your right, and go up that path directly to the two bridges. However, you risk a rare giant encounter on the way, across from the trail.)

At the end of the second bridge, take a left (northwest) and go through a heavier guard outpost, bearing generally left (west then southwest). At the second outpost (which may have a rare bugbear encounter), turn left (south) before entering it, and follow that path to Ungurz and the (one) entrance to all the quests.
