Am I alone in thinking this area is about as much fun as a rectal examination?
The only character I have taken into FG has died 4 times more in there than the whole game and both DLCs combined and hasn’t even managed to find an exit (or alter).
Gratz crate on coming up with something much worse than Hargate’s lab and the Immolation. My previous two most hated areas of the game.
Yeah, I like the area and the ‘realism’–if you want to call it that–but sure, the constant damage is annoying and you have to take a death if there are no mobs to kill (to activate lifesteal/heal on hit/that sort of stuff).
Since this will likely be the ~secret area~ thread, what item do you need for the Eldritch Altar?
So I died some more and finally found the altar in the last part of the map I uncovered.
Still die trying to get there again. Dumb mechanic where the more life you have the easier it is to die.
use teleport or fast running abilities and lifeleech with the camels then its easier
Or you have a build with lots of healing, like a Witch Hunter 
That and life leech got me through it, only to be promptly murdered by [redacted].
How to get there anyway?) I was looking for some sort of secret passage from Kairan docks to this secret location for hours, but i found nothing…
You get an item from standing in the portal in Vanguard of the Three for 15 seconds. Not the one that leads to the Edge of Reality, the one with the two mages around it.
You will feel much much worse later.
The whole journey to find the secret is fun, but it turns upside down once I enter the secret area;
not to mention the final boss is totally a troll to melee build.
Overall this is the worst thing I could experience in the entire game.
Don’t know why they make this place a heaven of caster and pet builds.
I could imagine lots of people might consider it’s fun to watch themselves smashed.
What about those people who play hardcore?? Will they accept this fatal surprise gladly??
At least I won’t set foot in this area again.
[QUOTE=Gaildor;721653]You will feel much much worse later.
I got to the final boss without further problem and died pretty quick which was much less annoying than being killed by walking in a sandstorm for 5 seconds.

I concur with you first time in Bonebleach is more than a real pain in the ass.
Totally over exceeded my expectation in a horrible way.
Kill me a dozen times to navigate my path.
Once I know how it’s no big fuss at all, still doesn’t change this is the worst area IMHO.
Later just to enjoy myself being gutted all over again and realize it’s a fool’s errand for me.
Guess I have to feel a sense of joy in this miserable display.
Never know other people might be happy die trying here.
Fuck this game.
Bonebleach Basin is the most annoying piece of crap I have ever experienced in a computer game and I have been playing computer games since they came on cassette tapes.
What the fuck were you thinking?
heya folks
what is all that whining bout , stop complaining.
finally we get an area that kills u if ur not doing things right.
i love this .
just keep up this greatness.
no mechanic in this game works like that. At most you die equally fast regardless of what your maximum health is
I don’t even have FG yet, but from what I’ve understood from OP is that this location has ground damage. To whoever thought about ground damage in the first place, even if it costs me my life on this forum, fuck you. I actually died to ground damage more than I did because of my stupidity/lack of knowledge.
I died about (or over) 20 times in general because I was super tired and fell asleep, about less than 10 times because of my lack of knowledge about the game when I was new to it and most likely over 30 if not even more than that because GROUND DAMAGE.
I hate you, whoever thought of it, and I hate you, whoever added it to the game, even more. I’d also want to say something to Medierra for allowing them to add it to the game, but I don’t know what, therefore I’ll just say that the Big Boss is just lucky.
But at least they also made a mastery I really like, which is Soldier, so I should say “thank you”, but GROUND DAMAGE.
Happy birthday.
The sandstorm damage is percentage of total life based. What you can leech back from the mob in there to stay alive isn’t so the more life you have there the faster you die.
Builds which favour life over damage (you know like for hardcore) get doubly fucked.
12k life is equally viable in Hardcore as 22k life is. If you’re favoring raw health so much so that you cannot adequately sustain it through other means, you have not built your character sufficiently.
Then use a bunch of healing+ and health restored per second pots, in theory they should provide enough sustain to get you across as long as you plot a course that has lots of safe spots. Add in the Mark of Divinity and you’ll be even safer. Although you’ll need to rest a bit after it procs of course.
Wait, you can get there? How?
I see it on the map but found no detour in the Docks, Oasis or otherwise to get there.
You miss the purpose of this area: to kill you! This is Zantai’s trolling ways so if you have been around for some time you know and must have understood this already. Plus its an optional area so if you dont want to die then get out. If someone loses his hc char then be happy cause the area served its purpose. Just mod your toon to resurrection or ask Zantai to resurrect it for you.
Does this require a specific difficulty to pull off? I’ve only gone through the expansion on normal so far and I can’t seem to get the item to appear. I put a timer on my phone and was in the circle for more than 15 seconds, only left before I would actually die and no dice.
