Tall Grass Means Hidden Enemies

The Raptors in Escavation Site: Wetlands are STEALTHED WHEN IN TALL GRASS. They will patrol and move around the grass completely invisible, so healers and ranged dps need to be very careful not to accidentally pull. In general they should stay very close to the tank to be as safe as possible.

Saltspine

Saltspine is a straight forward fight but its important to STAY OUT OF MELEE if you can. He has an Ability called Dust Storm which does a high amount of AOE damage while also appling a miss chance to players he hits.

Against the tank he just has a simple slow called Tendon Rip, which you don't really need to worry about.

Shadetooth

Very dangerous enemy with an AOE fear that can easily wipe the party if the fight isn't played well. Make sure to drag her AWAY FROM THE TALL GRASS so no one gets feared into it. There's a little clearing next to the lake that is the perfect spot to tank her.

DPS Focus Adds. The adds apply a debuff called Infected Wounds that needs to be dispelled. That needs to be Dispelled.

Shadetooth also ENRAGES AT 30%, so save your CC to reduce her damage once she enrages.

Relic Guardian

To active the Relic Guardian, you'll need to CLICK THE ARCHIVAL PANEL next to the boss.

Relic Guardian is a straight forward fight, although he has a lot of health and damage. He will occasional cast Thunder Clap, dealing AOE damage and slowing movement speed and attack speed. RANGED STAY OUT OF MELEE to avoid being hit by this ability.

Tips and Tricks

Beware the tall grass! Invisible Raptors will patrol and catch unsuspecting players

The Crocodiles in the lake at the entrance of the dungeon make for great skinning training.

All of the normal Mobs are pretty straight forward, so there's not much to worry about. Just make sure you handle Shadetooth correctly and its a pretty easy dungeon!
