Navigating the Village of the Lost Dungeon
Village of the Lost can be found in the southeastern part of Coldharbour. To enter the dungeon, look for a large, broken bridge that leads to the entrance.
The dungeon is divided into three main areas, connected by portals:
The Village of the Lost
After entering the dungeon, head straight and then turn left to find the first boss, Gruthaz. Defeat Gruthaz and continue through the village, dealing with groups of enemies as you progress.
The Abandoned Farmstead
Upon reaching a portal, interact with it to be transported to the Abandoned Farmstead. In this area, you will face the second boss, Aez the Collector. Defeat Aez and continue through the farmstead, clearing groups of enemies along the way.
The Forsaken Hamlet
When you reach another portal, interact with it to enter the Forsaken Hamlet. In this area, you will encounter the remaining four bosses:
- Urrai
- Vrendi
- Macius Cento
- Iluzan
Defeat each boss and clear any enemy groups you encounter. After defeating the last boss, Iluzan, a portal will appear that will take you back to the Village of the Lost.
Tips, Tricks, and Secrets

- Enemy Crowd Control: Use crowd control abilities, such as stuns, snares, and roots, to manage large groups of enemies. This will make it easier to defeat them without being overwhelmed.
