How to reach Kindlewastes
The Kindlewastes desert stretches east of the Nomad Highlands. Cross from the Highlands heading east-southeast; the wiki splits it into a Northern and a hotter Southern half divided by the Shroud; the 1.0 files put its enemies mostly at level 21–27.
Raise Flame Level 5 before committing.
Sub-regions
- Northern Kindlewastes — The wiki's gentler entry half — Vukah camps and first Sun Temples.
- Southern Kindlewastes — The wiki's hotter half — richer in lapis and sulfur.
What to do in Kindlewastes
- Upgrade the Flame to level 5, which needs a Fell Monstrosity Head
- Defeat the Fell Sicklescythe: its head is the item for the Flame 5 to 6 upgrade
- Visit the Sun Temples (the wiki places five here)
- Enter the Kindlewastes Hollow Halls with the Kindlewastes Bone Key; the wiki lists the Elite Hollow Set as its armor
Top threat: Fell Sicklescythe — in the 1.0 files it takes Poison, Fire and Shock ×1.2, no Shroud damage (×0), physical hits ×0.9 and magical hits ×0.7. Cutting and Blunt land at full per-type damage.
