*{{Vanquisher|count = 195|low = 162|high = 220}}
** There are a lot of popups in this area. Hidden [[devourer]]s riddle the area to a point where large swathes of the southern central half are empty except for hidden foes. The small green area in the east also hides [[Moss Scarab]]s amongst the few [[Thorn Stalker Sprout]]s. Consider heading east last.
** A few groups of [[Thorn Stalker]]s [[patrol]] a long route in the center and may be missed. Backtrack in the opposite direction to find them. There are also groups of Maguuma centaurs patrolling large areas to the northwest which can be missed easily.
** North of [[Ventari's Refuge]] are a few groups of centaurs that travel fast, and may be missed.
**[[Area of effect]] opportunities are very limited on this vanquish. For this reason, Elementalists should consider elites like Invoke Lightning, and Mesmers should avoid elites like Panic or Keystone signet.
**It is unnecessary to bring [[List of hex removal skills|hex removal skills]], since a boss with [[Life Siphon]] is the sole hex on this vanquish.
**With great patience, it is possible to bring a party of 8 from the [[Temple of the Ages]].
