History
The Black Mire was farmland once, low fields that fed the Second Kindred's northern holdings. The Sundering didn't burn it — it drowned it, the water table rising overnight with something that was no longer quite water. What grew back grew back wrong: bloated reeds, trees that breathe fog, and the Mire Hydra, a thing with too many necks for anything that used to live in a farming province. Wardens still map its edges every season, because the swamp itself seems to be spreading, a slow inch further into Eldenwood every year.
Boss — the Mire Hydra
Guards this region's dungeon. Beatable once per day in Normal mode and once per day in Corrupted mode (stronger, requires a Corrupted/Ultimate Boss Key). See the Bosses page for the full key/drop system.
