They ruined your grill-out and now it’s time to bring the pain to these slimy invaders… Welcome to the Deep Grotto! This brand-new dungeon is now unlocked in Heroes Cove as a reward for clearing the Invasion from the Deep War. Inside the Deep Grotto you’ll find a challenge designed for end-game players full of level 50 monsters. As if that wasn’t challenging enough, THREE new bosses await, and 16 pieces of level 50 gear to boot! Clearing the Deep Grotto will require good positioning and the ability to prioritize defeating the right monsters. Do you have what it takes to clear the Grotto of the Deep, or will you be lost at sea?
