Neath'uns Dungeon Guide

Quick answer — Neath'uns

• What is it? A mid-game cave dungeon in northeastern Midrath with purple wall runes, Neathcap farms, and two dungeon Agari.
• Who should run it? Players past The Waste Bear who need Neathcap / Wevetwood Sap or want Gourdo and Seachnall on the 30-minute Agari rotation.
• Unlock gate: Complete Brewer of Hues (recruit Verminia) → finish The Waste Bear — entrances open automatically.
• Common mistake: Skipping purple runes at dead ends — almost every blocked gap has a nearby rune to shoot.

What is the Neath'uns?

The Neath'uns is a mid-game cave dungeon in northeastern Midrath, unlocked after completing The Waste Bear fable. It introduces a unique purple rune mechanic and is home to two Agari sub-bosses.

How to Unlock

1. Complete the Brewer of Hues quest and recruit Verminia
2. Complete The Waste Bear fable
3. Dungeon entrances open automatically after the fable concludes

The Waste Bear fable also unlocks the Bromius Pact — three new Arcanic abilities.

Entrances

Four known entrances (community catalog location names — no official portal IDs):

• Wevetwood Entrance — southeast of the Voicing Tree Council
• Sinklands Entrance — eastern Sinkland Depths
• Lake Moray Entrance — south of Moray, west side of the lake
• Central Forest Entrance — southeast of Oro's Well

Amber Deposits — Neathcap & Sap

Glowing Amber Deposits are destructible nodes scattered through the Neath'uns tunnels. Break them on every run for:

| Drop (community catalog) | Notes | |---------------|-------| | Neathcap | Primary ingredient farm | | Wevetwood Sap | Same amber nodes | | Glow Lampyrite | Occasional bonus from deposits |

The Fungal Lord mini-quest needs 1 Neathcap (plus Jaden Drop and Toe of Ode) — not a bulk farm target, but a common reason players search this route.

Purple Rune Mechanic

Purple runes appear on walls throughout the dungeon. Hit them with ranged attacks to:

• Release water flows
• Grow root bridges
• Open blocked paths forward

If you reach a gap you cannot cross, search nearby walls for a purple rune — there is almost always one nearby.

Enemies & Agari

| Enemy | Notes | |-------|-------| | Rotted Sproutfolk | Standard melee enemies | | Rotted Sproutling | Small, fast | | Weaver spiders | Ranged web attacks | | Gourdo (Agari) | Melee-heavy corrupted Sproutfolk — ranged attacks trivialize the fight | | Seachnall The Widower (Agari) | Poison spider — webs on surfaces; avoid trampling webs |

Tips

• Unlock Neath'uns after The Waste Bear before Agari rotation — Gourdo and Seachnall are dungeon Agari (30 min, community catalog)
• Ranged build or spells make Gourdo significantly easier
• Against Seachnall, watch floor webs and keep moving — standing still is fatal

Neath'uns vs Glades — when to run which

| Dungeon | Unlock | Best farm | Agari | |---------|--------|-----------|-------| | Neath'uns | The Waste Bear | Neathcap, Wevetwood Sap, purple-rune exploration | Gourdo, Seachnall | | Glades of Andurin | Torment Stag | Arena Mastery XP, Picktrix mats | Flayed Reaper, Thrice-bound Impidh |

Prep checklist

• Ranged weapon or spells for Gourdo — melee-only builds struggle on the corrupted Sproutfolk
• Break every Amber Deposit on route for Neathcap and occasional Glow Lampyrite
• For The Fungal Lord quest, you need 1 Neathcap (plus Jaden Drop and Toe of Ode) — not a bulk target, but plan one deposit sweep
• Track Agari timers with elite hunting — dungeon Agari share the 30-minute community catalog cadence

FAQ

• Which entrance is fastest? Depends on your overworld position — four community-named entrances (Wevetwood, Sinklands, Lake Moray, Central Forest); verify portal placement in your client.
• Purple rune not working? Must hit with ranged attacks; melee swings do not trigger bridge / water flows.
• Bromius Pact? Waste Bear also unlocks Bromius Pact — three new Arcanic abilities worth respeccing before deep Neath'uns pushes.
