Overview
Inside Excavation Site: Wetlands
An archaeological dig has uncovered dormant Titan machinery. Rogue constructs now threaten the excavation, turning a promising discovery into a crisis for the site.
Strange mist and apparent temporal distortions complicate the disturbance. The story centers on containing what the excavation has stirred up, rather than simply continuing the archaeological work.
Getting there
Head to the Wetlands in the Eastern Kingdoms. The dungeon's dig is above Whelgar's Excavation Site.

- Keep bag space free before starting so you are not sorting inventory between pulls.
