Dragon's Gullet is a remote cul-de-sac in the far north of Ascalon. It is a wasteland of tar pits, rugged hills, and scattered ruins. The Charr can be found here, but given the extreme inhospitality of this area, they are few in number. This sparsely populated area is home to wildlife that have managed to adapt to the hostile environment. This is the most dangerous area in the Ascalon region.

The shortest distance to get here is leave from Grendich Courthouse and keep heading northeast, through the Diessa Lowlands and the Charr-controlled Flame Temple Corridor.

Notes

• These quests affect the spawns in this area:
  • The Titan Source
  • Then and Now, Here and There
• The Charr and Hydra are hostile to each other, but they rarely overlap.
• Complete exploration of this area contributes approximately 1.5% to the Tyrian Cartographer title.
  • You can explore most of the zone without the Tar effect during the Special Ops: Dragon's Gullet quest.
• Vanquisher runs of this area without active quests require defeating around 130 foes. Including quest influences, it has been reported to range from 117 to 205 foes.
  • Has hidden Devourers.
  • The fast-moving hydra group in the southwest corner can be easily missed due to its long patrol route. Be careful so that they don't rush your party while you're fighting other hydra.
  • Consider bringing a party of six starting from either Borlis Pass, Yak's Bend or even a party of eight from Temple of the Ages.
  • Vanquishing during The Titan Source drastically increases the number of foes and changes all spawns to either Titans or Charr.
• Party-wide speed boost skills will help counter the effect of walking in the tar.
