In the regular sauna, Mr. Sweatbottom sells the usual items which could be found in any potion shop in Victoria, except a few items which can only be bought here. In the VIP sauna, Mr. Wetbottom's only purpose is to give you a level 40 quest which culminates in the Sauna Robe. The Mysterious Statue leads you to jump quests. A player can walk to Sleepywood from the Six Path Crossway.{{-}}

When you first enter the right portal in Sleepywood, you will end up in the Silent Swamp, which is full of Copper Drakes. You will encounter Ronnie at first, who is involved in Mr. Wetbottom's quest. At the top right of this map is a portal which leads to Root Abyss. As you trek deeper into the Swamp, you will eventually end up in the Drake Cave, where stronger Drakes reside. After the Cave Cliff, where Drakes and Red Drakes are found, the ground darkens, and the maps are referred to as being cold. You will then encounter Ice and Dark Drakes at this point. The last map is pure spawn Dark Drakes, and there are 3 portals moving onward. One leads to a mini-dungeon full of Dark Drakes, another leads to a map where Snack Bar can be found, and the last map leads to the Cursed Temple entrance. Along the way, you will spot several Shaman Rocks, which you must place Shaman Charms on by request of Chrishrama.
The last safe area is the Cursed Temple Entrance, where the path splits in two. The upper route leads to the Cursed Temple, where you will first encounter Wild Kargos. A separate path off of this map leads to 2 maps full of Wild Kargos. After the first map, you will encounter the Tauromacis, which are eventually joined by Taurospears, and culminates in the Cursed Temple, where the legendary Jr. Balrog spawns. The sanctuary was created by the Sharenian, and likely served a special purpose in their society. The lower route leads to the Underground Temple, where one can fight the legendary Giant Balrog.{{-}}

The Ant Tunnel Dungeon is one of the longest dungeons in the game. At the Ant Tunnel park, a last stop potion shop is located near the entrance portal. The initial platform is safe. It is from a map located off of Ant Tunnel Park that the Zombie Mushmom is found. The VIP taxi, found in [[MapleStory/Towns/Lith Harbor|Lith Harbor]] and [[MapleStory/Towns/Ellinia|Ellinia]], will bring a player directly to the park for a cost of 10,000 mesos. In one of those caves lies Francis the puppeteer's lair, which a KoC character is required to defeat him for a quest.[[Image:MS Cursed Sanctuary.jpg|thumb|right|The Jr. Balrog stalks the Cursed Sanctuary at the deepest layer of the Ant Tunnel.]]
After the Drake's Hunting Grounds map, the ground darkens, and the maps are referred to as having "Lost Light". The monsters are instantly stronger at this point. Drakes roam freely, and as one progresses deeper, they are joined by wild Kargo. The last safe area is the Sanctuary Entrance, where the path splits in two. The upper route leads to Drake's Meal table, where a variety of drake species are found, as well as a map of Kargo. The Ice Drakes and Dark Drakes, the two most powerful species, can be found in a new path off of this area. The lower route involves passing through Cold Eyes and 4 maps of Tauromaci, joined by Taurospears, and culminates in the Cursed Sanctuary, where the legendary Jr. Balrog spawns. The sanctuary was created by the Sharenian, and likely served a special purpose in their society.{{-}}
