The Worm Wood

Back to the Distant Woods

The Worm Wood is an area of The Distant Woods which is only accessible if you are currently under the influence of the Absinthe-Minded effect.

Here you can find:

• The Mouldering Mansion
• The Rogue Windmill
• The Stately Pleasure Dome

Notes

• All enemies in the Worm Wood scale to your buffed stats, to a maximum monster level of 120.
• There are a series of effects to be gained in the various zones of the Worm Wood. Each of these effects allows for a different outcome in one of the adventures in another zone.
• The Worm Wood Done Quickly page will help you get to the prize of your choice, fast.
• Attempting to adventure here without the Absinthe-Minded effect gives the message, "For some reason, you can't find your way back there."

• Wormwood is an ingredient in absinthe containing thujone, which is commonly believed to be a hallucinogen.
• Baz Luhrmann's movie Moulin Rouge! portrayed the "green fairy", slang for absinthe, as an actual green fairy, similar to the mechanism by which this zone is unlocked in the game.
• Virtually all of the adventures in this area refer to visual artists or literary figures strongly associated with mind-altering drugs, or to works by such persons.
