Chimeral Wetlands Location Details

Dangerous Beauty

Chimeral Wetlands is an area that can be accessed from Infested Barrens. You'll be led to this place if you're doing the Legacy of the Vaal main quest.

This area has a vast layout with dense, heavy trees and greenery full of enemies such as Prowling Chimerals, Diretusk Boars, and Ill-Fated Explorers. Near a checkpoint, you will encounter an open space called the Deadly Nest, where you will fight Xyclucian, the Chimera. This boss can deal a high AOE cold attack that can freeze you and leave you vulnerable to more damage, so make sure to get out of that spell's range!.
