Objectives

• Find a way into the Druid's Den
• Destroy the Corruption Nodes (2 total)
• Stop the corruption of the forest
• Search the end of the glen for survivors
• (Optional) Find and destroy the Corrupted Seeds — Bonus (20%): Heroic( ♣488 ♦845 ♥877 ♠909 ) Epic( ♣2,311 ♦3,974 ♥4,096 ♠4,218 )

Known Traps

Trap DC

• Dropping floors into spikes. No control panels, but you can search and disable the pits themselves, making the surface solid. (Pit Covers have a high Spot: DC:61; on Heroic Elite. (Bug: the Epic version of the traps erroneously appear within the Heroic version hence those high DCs appearing within Heroic).

Tips and Misc

• There are fewer plant monsters here, but more animals. Animal Bane would be useful.
• You must go east first, then west, then finally north. Dimension Door is faster than running back.
• Randomly either the east or the west shrine will be there, but not both.
• One of the optional druids is in the first glen, one at each corrupted node, one by the shrine (depends on which side it spawns), and one in the final glen with the final corrupted node.
  • Be careful fighting the druids. They drop a small glowing ball that hits you with a snare with a long duration. These persist even when the druid is killed.
• If the final barrier won't break apart, check the pit traps for live mobs that may have fallen down there.
• Speaking to the injured druid at the edge of the glen ends the quest.
