Here, things a a little less frantic compared to the Dark Wood due to there being less obstacles (trees) and more open space. Monsters from here on also begin to get a little stronger as well. In the Black Marsh you will find the ruined walls of the Forgotten Tower. The tower itself is gone, but the entrance to its deep cellar remains. Another cave sub-level and a junction to the Tamoe Highlands are also found within the marsh.
The tower's cellar is the biggest crypt-style area (especially in hell difficulty) due to containing five levels. Explore the depths of the tower cellar in order to complete the fourth quest of act 1.
Level Information
- Monster levels are always equal to the area level with exception to uniques (mlvl +3) and champions (mlvl +2).
- A group of Fallen and Fallen Shamen always spawn in a "carver camp" in this area. They are loaded as a special monster variant in this case, but they can also spawn as a normal variant.
