Dark World Tree is the area which Damien has stolen power from to make him stronger. To find out more about the back story of Damien you can do the Blockbuster on Heroes of Maple. However to enter this area, you do not need to complete the Heroes of Maple Blockbuster (but you will need to clear it to attempt Damien boss).
Map Layout

- Middle Stem: Middle part of the World Tree. Monster ranges from Level 212 to 215.
- Upper Stem: Upper part of the World Tree. Monster ranges from Level 216 to 219.
