General Notes
- No backspawns. Some spawns are random; sometimes they fire, sometimes not.
- Locathah Depths are a free rest zone, Immortal characters will not fugue or limbo in Locathah Depths.
- One of the chests at the end of the run (only lootable once you have killed the Matriarch) contains a Epode book which grants the legendary form focus I-III feats for the form indicated by the book title assuming your character already has the prerequisite form focus feats.
Spawn Structure
Spawns are not dynamic in that the numbers and types of creatures do not scale with player group size, paragon type creatures do not spawn in this area, however the mix of creatures present in spawns will vary on a per server reset basis.
Transit
Transit with mobs alive No.
Areas
Locathah can be entered through a transition in the northeast of the Boat Ramp area, reachable by following the west road through The Wilderness. Beware of thieving pixies in The Wilderness, use Invisibility, Greater Sanctuary or a preemptive strike to avoid being pick pocketed.
Shoreline Reef
Nothing important in this area. In the spawn can be feys, they can dominate for a short time without any saving throw.

*She re-summons any Locathah from her spawn that were killed. Unless the party has high killing power, it is best to disable her minions through petrification or Bigby 7/9 rather than killing them.

Strategy and Tactics
Death spells can remove most of the mobs in this area, Circle of Death, Finger of Death and Wail of the banshee being very effective, bring a PM they'll have a great time! The Sulfurous Current area has lots of mini volcanoes which give fire and acid damage if you stand too close to them this can cause problems if you're not equipped with appropriate gear.
