What to Expect

Fire and Ice monsters

Known Traps

• Exploding Constructs, can be laid by Boromar Trappers.

Tips and Misc

Alcorin's Forge port point is the closest if you know the route, but The Village is another option to come from the north. If you find the quest Scavenger Hunt, you can basically just follow the high-up wide north–south road directly towards the Magma Must Flow entrance. Then use the floating transporter platform device to cross the flowing lava directly to the door.

• Fire resistance is almost mandatory as the quest is packed with Hellhounds, Fire Elementals and some Fire Mephits. Ice resistance, is helpful against the Frost Mephits, etc.
• This quest is largely pretty linear, consisting of three miniboss fights against a Fire Reaver, an Ice Flenser and a human wizard respectively, followed by a final fight against a red-named Gnome and a tile puzzle. The only optional requires you to kill every monster in the lava-filled room.
• Be wary of the Trappers and them getting a chance to deploy their Exploding Constructs.
