Progression[edit]
The Twilight Highlands, along with the even higher Thornlands and Final Plateau, are awash in a toxic rainstorm when first encountered, making it extremely dangerous to set foot into the mountains. Even a mad dash into the Troll Caves will not offer any protection as the storm seems to suffuse the air itself everywhere, quite unlike a mundane rainstorm. It seems that only be slaying the dangerous Hydra, Ur-Ghast and Snow Queen will the acid rain cease, allowing exploration up onto the plateau.
