This is an area covering more of the map than any other. The areas from Elfheim to the Western Keep, as well as the areas near Mt. Duergar, Matoya's Cave, and even north of Melmond, all share the same encounters. While you will get sick of seeing Ogres with Gigas Worms, the Cobras and Tarantulas are poisonous, so come prepared with Antidotes. Tarantulas can be a particularly annoying encounter due to their high Defense. These encounters are no big deal compared to the ones near the Marsh Cave, and keep in mind that the first leg of your journey west from Elfheim will pass through that area.
