How to Reach
Journey Through Lost Jungle
To reach Toxic Grove, players must first navigate through the Lost Jungle. This journey requires entering a specific cave known as the Toxic Cave. Prepare to face the toxic gases within by purchasing and equipping a Gas Mask to survive the passage.
Entry
Accessing Toxic Grove requires traversing the Toxic Cave, a treacherous passage filled with lethal gases. Players must equip a Gas Mask to survive the journey through this long, winding path that connects Lost Jungle to Toxic Grove.
Toxic Boil
A unique feature of Toxic Grove is the appearance of Toxic Boils, which have a 20% chance of spawning every 30 seconds. These boils transform the water into a neon purple fog-covered area. While active, the chances of catching the rare Rotted Seed are doubled. Players can also use a Catalyst from the Mad Chemist's quest to spawn a more durable boil.
Shipwright
The shipwright in Toxic Grove operates differently than others, allowing only boats with over 150 durability to be spawned. This location also leads to the Living Garden, adding another layer to the exploration. Be cautious, as the toxic water around the shipwright is deadly, and gliders cannot bypass this path.
Toxic Waters
Fishing in Toxic Grove requires rods capable of handling Brine Pool conditions due to the deadly effects of the water. Standard crab cages will corrode instantly here, so only Reinforced or Relic Crab Cages can be used. There is a small chance to acquire the Decayed mutation while fishing in these dangerous waters.
Fish to Catch Here
Toxic Grove is home to a fascinating array of fish, with 19 distinct species available for capture. Among these, the Toxic Jellymass, Bog Skulker, and Spore Lurker stand out as particularly unique to this location. The Blight Pufferfish and the Rotted Seed are also noteworthy for their rarity and the challenge they present to eager anglers.
The presence of such rare species makes Toxic Grove a top destination for players seeking to expand their collection with exclusive catches. Successful fishing here requires careful preparation and the right equipment to handle the toxic conditions.
