Overview

Overview of the area.

Myconid Minefield

In the south-east area of the grotto, this area contains many dangerous mushrooms such as Timmask, Bibberbang and Torchstalk. Setting off fire spells or torchstalks in this area can cause a chain reaction of explosions.

Giant Bird Nest

South-west of the grotto, this unnamed area is unremarkable save for the empty giant bird nest.

Guardian Gate
