BackMONSTER ISLAND
TAINTED HOLLOW
You need a machete (Curved or Iron) and a Swinging Ball (Black ball, Bow String and Waxed Ooze) to enter this place as well as 6 light sources and 120 AP's to spare, and you will need a Small Lock pick and the skill to use it to open the Large Locked Box which these places seems to have a very large supply of. You also have to be able to dish out a lot of damage and be able to take some to defeat the Red Wood Palm, Fire and an Edged weapon should be the best weapons against the Red Wood, I prefer to use Enchant weapon though. Since the main treasure always seems to be a King's Spiked item it is not a place you will raid more than 4-5 times.
A result of the Fallen Ones no doubt, either made on purpose or by some accident. The Palm are living plants, most likely animated to protect this place, it might once have been a treasury of the Fallen looking at all the treasure chests to be found there.
