[edit] Notes

• To receive credit for the Vanquisher title track in this area you must defeat 168-202 monsters in Hard Mode.
  • Having Villainy of Galrath reduces the number of cultists (and bosses) by ~20.
  • Minion Master caution: The Apprentices can quickly take over your own spawns, as they cast Verata's Gaze.
• Snares help defeat Tachi, who frequently kites and slows your team with Imagined Burden
• Complete exploration of this area contributes approximately 1.1% to the Tyrian Cartographer title.
• This area has only one resurrection shrine.
• The boss Rage Maulhoof appears just before the exit from The Black Curtain to Kessex Peak. Since morale boosts remain with your party from area to area, it is possible to zone to Kessex Peak and back to kill Rage Maulhoof multiple times to achieve a 10% morale boost to help with the more difficult foes in Kessex Peak.
