bullet80+ level restriction

getting there

bulletrun from town. run is moderately dangerous, but not overly difficult
bulletyou can run directly there -- you will run across a decently large body of water. despite its size and color, it shallow enough to travel

while inside

bulletnothing but tusker assailers
bulletsuggest buff and bane for bludg
bulletas with other high-level tuskers, don't forget the noggin
bulletblack, 700 health
bulletdecently high magicD ... 390-400 i would estimate
bulletbased on my longs strings of resists (a couple strings of 10+ resists to my 402 life), i think they are able to spend exp

bulletdrop is hot
bulletyou're placed at the end of a corridor, no exit portal
bulletnarrow -- room for at most 2 abreast
bulleti had 5-6 lined up to kill me as i portalled in
bulletbasically go WEST and UP
bulletone spot you head WEST, but go DOWN and then UP, much like an inner city freeway underpass
bulletwhen W is a dead end, head NORTH
bulletat the end is a small unremarkable chamber with ~10 assailers on a medium spawn
bulletthese drop the prize - a tusk
bulletdrop rate is high - not 100%, but it seemed to be at least 25% or more
bulletexit portal is near the final chamber

departure

bulletexit portal is hot! monkeys, many new reeds, minions (who will debuff)
bulletif you're so inclined, you might want to buff your feet/legs for pierce -- the new reeds have a decent punch, just like the new carenzi in North ML
bulletturn the tusk into brighteyes in town
bullet5% of exp to next level, just like G's sword
bulletone use portal gem to new isle
bulletlore say that the recall scroll you get from bobo ... brighteyes tells you that he requires a tusker HUSK (not tusk) for it
bulletoptional token -- bestows  "Master of Slaughter" title
bullet3 week timer on turning in tusk
bulletseems as if you can pickup more then one .. but turn in is 3 weeks.
