MapleStory/Towns/Crimsonwood Keep: Difference between revisions

{{Header Nav|game=MapleStory|custom={{MapleStory/TOC}}{{MapleStory/TOC/Towns}}}}

Now, however, the castle is under the influence of a bizarre and evil group referred to as the "Twisted Masters", and the path leading up to it is lined with monstrous counterparts to each of the groups formerly housed here. The Keep itself cannot be entered at this time, however yet another upcoming expansion is on the way, supposedly housing an extremely powerful boss.

'''Level Range:''' 35-110

Phantom forest is a forest located just north west of New Leaf City, it was once referred as Crimsonwood Forest before it became corrupted by the evil from the Twisted Masters that reside in Crimsonwood Keep.

Before reaching the Keep, players must pass through the Phantom Forest, which is connected to the existing Phantom Forest maps at Haunted House. The monsters in the forest are the weakest of the expansion, starting at level 45. Not included in this are some monsters which were already released, such as Jr. Wraiths, which can also be found in the forest. The boss monster Bigfoot is said to roam out here, randomly encountered on several maps, as though it is wandering through the forest. Another species found here are the Elder Wraiths, a monster previously referenced to in the iTCG description of the item Crystal Ilbi. At the edge of the Phantom Forest is the next section, the Crimsonwood Mountains.  

Additionally found in the Phantom Forest is the Raven Ninja Clan's camp at the Dead Man's Gorge. It serves as a resupply area before heading into the deeper, more dangerous parts of the region It is not considered a town, however it is similar to the Excavation Site in [[MapleStory/Towns/Perion|Perion]] in that no monsters appear here and there is a large number of NPCs. After completing quests for the NPCs here to gain their trust, players may buy potions and throwing stars, exchange monster badges, and forge new weapons, in that order.

===Crimsonwood Mountains===

'''Level Range:''' 70-120

This area comes after the difficult, maze-like Phantom Forest. Before accessing the rest of the Mountain, players must pass through the Jump Quest-like area called "Valley of Heroes", where the deadly Totem poles called Menhirs pose a threat to passersby, dealing a whopping 50,000 damage. There is a possiblity for the player to bypass this area safely but the player must be in possession of the Marker of Heroism which is used to teleport via statues around the Valley of Heroes and currently it can only be obtained via a quest through Lukan.

After passing the Valley, players emerge at the cliffs, where Windraiders roam. From here, there are many cave-like areas recessed into the mountain, providing solo dungeons for players. Jack Barricade, brother of NLC's John Barricade, is found in one of these. Typhons, flying, stronger cousins to the Gryphons, appear, and pose a threat as they may knock an explorer into the chasm below, sending them reeling back into the Valley. Finally, one arrives at the keep itself, a colossal structure high upon the mountain. A final obstacle, the Crimson Guardians, spawn in high density, and fast. Currently, this is as far as players can reach, however entrance to the keep has been acknowledged by both Nexon employees and NPCs in game as a future area.

Crimsonwood Keep was originally founded by a legendary warrior called Christopher Crimsonheart who built the keep within the mountains surrounded by the forest. Hence the name of the forest, mountains and the keep was derived from his name.
