Who can go: As long as someone has a pet or human tank, any other templates can join. I used my Archer bard here before Pub 97.
You have to be on a quest from Heartwood to enter Twisted Weald. The keys are like Medusa, get them and place on an alter.
You go past the slow sand and dodge Changelings.
The keys are harder to get than the encounter. Sometimes Irk or Guile and others will be paragons.
Tonight we went after doing 6 Mels a Medusa and turtle spawn. On our way we met 2 ghosts that were getting keys so they joined us.
Keys are:
Once you get to the island, be ready to get poisoned. Dread horn will pounce on someone when you arrive. This trip it jumped me. I ran away and was down to 10 life. After that all went smooth.
Just sick the pets on it and try to stay further back than I do. It puts out 2 areas. One that drops stats by 20 and another that slows FC and SSI.
This one seems to die a lot faster than the other peerless that we do often. I used to try and bring a Naj here but a non mountable pet is tough to get to the alter.
Our group had 4 Cus (of course, this is LS), a Hiryu, and an archer on a tiger. No pets or players died.
Damages and resists look like this:
It is lowest in Physical resist. The others are high.
The Pawain method of resists works. My non Cu pets look like this:
If you solo it, dont bring a Cu with 45 poison resist, But you can kill it with one.
Theoretically a Giant Beetle would be a good pet to bring. Also a Hiryu would be good. A Naj if you want the 100% poison resist.
This is something that 2 players can do pretty easy. Gathering the keys will teach you how to fight in crowds. Fighting or invising a lot. Not uncommon to die getting the keys.
Dread Horn dies pretty fast.
I want a Pristine Dread Horn head so I can make the trophy.

Keys are:
- Six keys are required: Blighted Cotton, Thorny Briar, Gnaw's Fang, Irk's Brain, Lissith's Silk, and Sabrix's Eye. All the keys spawn with a 7 day countdown timer, which should be plenty of time to collect them all.
- Drop the keys on the small statue called "The Statue of the Fey" in the southeast corner of the Twisted Wealddungeon (i.e. the swamp area past the desert).
- When you have done that, three Essence of the Wind will spawn in your back pack. These keys come with a 10-minute countdown timer, giving you a limited time to prepare your party for the final battle. Double click the master key to send you and your party to Dread Horn's island (located just to the west of the swamp area).
- Once Dread Horn spawns, your party has 2 hours to defeat Dread Horn, after which he will just disappear if you haven't killed him. You can depart the island by walking to the boat on the left-hand side.
Once you get to the island, be ready to get poisoned. Dread horn will pounce on someone when you arrive. This trip it jumped me. I ran away and was down to 10 life. After that all went smooth.
