Sandswept Marsh Map Layout
Sample Map Layout
Sandswept Marsh is automatically unlocked after completing The Trail of Corruption Quest. It is also the first area you encounter in Act 3, and will lead you to Ziggurat Encampment, the Town for Act 3.
Upon entering Sandswept Marsh, the map divides into two main paths. One path will lead you to a Foul Ritual, where you can fight Rootdredge. The other path leads to a Hanging Tree and the Orok Campfire, both dropping additional loot and equipment. The entrance to Ziggurat Encampment can be found on the opposite end of the area's waypoint.

The fight is straightforward and involves dealing with zombie minions and a few spells. Watch out for its homing green projectiles and corpse explosion skill, however, as they can hit multiple times in quick succession and kill you in an instant. Always stay alert for the green glowing effects to avoid taking heavy damage.
