  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Cursed Forest
    is mainly cleared for the Curse Masks. These have 1% dr over the previous BIS gear and apply a curse when the enemy spawns.

    fight.
  • Once cleared 100 times, the Despair Curse is unlocked and will be used against enemies with high health, as it does percentage based damage.

    Magic
    to clear this dungeon
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Cursed Forests's
    final enemy, Lady Darkheart has a passive effect which gives them +500% curse lifesteal. Additionally, they have 3 attacks which will apply curses to you, and another attack which deals double damage if you are cursed. The lifesteal by iteself already makes this boss incredibly annoying, and the double damage requires you to balance survivability and damage output.
