Requires level 60 and progress in the covenant storyline (The Rule # unlock questline) to fully unlock the south part of the map.


  • Perdition Hold and The Altar of Damnation: require Rule 5: Be Audacious
    There is a gate that you can't cross and the gates can be opened if you complete the Prepare for Trouble! Rule 5: Be Audacious
    Need "Tentative" with Ve'nari reputation

  • Beastwarrens, Ravener's Lament, Marrow's Coppice, Desmotaeron
    All 4 areas are full of extremely powerful rares and you get fear from time to time [spell=336972]
    Fear debuff can be removed if you progress with Ve'nari reputation to "Ambivalent"


Basically keep this achievement for later stages of the game and grind reputation by killing rares, weekly quests, Maw events.

It is possible to get this with little to no reputation with Ve'nari, who you otherwise need to unlock the other areas. I got it after some trying and exploring on the 26th of November (but in theory could have done it on the first day).

However, in order to reach the locked off areas, you must survive and / or evade significant amounts of damage. Before you are at Tentative with Ve'nari and want to get to The Altar of Domination, you need a method of flight such as Glide from a Demon Hunter or a Goblin Glider Kit (I have not tested these) as you have to get past a locked gate by using the terrain to your advantage to get atop the battlements (the wall). Outlaw Rogues may be able to hook to it directly and if you get close you may be able to shadowstep to a mob (sap it immediately), but while a Warrior can possibly leap on to the battlements, they will almost immediately die as you take 200% increased damage from higher damage mobs and they have no means of escaping them. Getting to the Altar then is more a test of avoiding enemies and crowd controlling the others, so Rogues should find this easy, and Demon Hunters should find this a test of patience and aggro radius awareness using Imprison. As always, bring a Cypher of Relocation to tele out.

The Beastwarrens and all discoveries inside it are difficult for other reasons. It hits you with a 7-second fear roughly every 40 seconds that either hits for 50% of your life called Otherworldly Screeching. I highly suggest mage food to save on costs, and hijacking Shadehounds from Outriders is extremely helpful as you will be able to move at mount speed through the fear. Other than that, this zone is significantly less dangerous especially if you can heal yourself.

๐Ÿ–• The Beastwarrens and its debuff

I got this today, and it was really painful and a lot of Stygia has been lost.
It IS possible on this patch, but really hard.

TIPS


  • Provide food/healing items for The Beastwarrens, you get a debuff that makes you feared and does a total of 10k damage in DoT. It's applied to the WHOLE area, not only the part that says 'The Beastwarrens'.

  • When in The Beastwarrens, make sure you get to a safe large area with no mobs in it, so you can get Horrified safely, and not run into a pack of mobs.

  • Eat/heal after every fear

  • Riding the rideable maw-mounts that drop from those stealth-detecting seems to negate the fear-part of the debuff. You still take the damage though.

  • Don't heal while riding the mounts, you get demounted and it runs off

  • To enter Perdition Hold, take the south gate, it can open, the north one can not. You can sap one of the guards, stun the other, open the gate and vanish. Don't try to fight them, they do massive damage thanks to a debuff/buff in that zone.

  • Dodge the stealth-detectors... must I say more?

  • Be a rogue :) and/or able to vanish/stealth

  • Altough I didn't use them (by losing too much Stygia ^^), Ve'nari sells an item that gives you a massive speedboost and immunity

Good luck exploring!
