Ahh… the Deep Dark Forest and the Pit. The area can be entered from the Dark Forest. While walking half way across the world of Shilla is possible to get to the DDF, it's best to use the teleport location. The Deep Dark Forest is the area that usually follows the Ogre Cave for training purposes. You quickly move on to the Pit after that. There are a few people who then move on to the Maze, but most just go straight to the Dungeon.
The Deep Dark Forest/Pit requires an Intelligence of 198, 220, or 242 depending on your race to enter.
In the Deep Dark Forest section of this area you will find the following creatures: Griffen, Harpy, Deer, Imp, Archer, and the deadly Azure Golem. In the Pit section you will face, other than Quetzalcoati, Gorgon, Serpentfly, Wyvern, and Basilisk.
Azure Golem is the Azure Diamond dropper and dwells in the 3 southernmost spots of the Deep Dark Forest.
A lot of gameplay occurs in this area. Many guild and specialty quest have parts that require you to return to Deep Dark Forest or the Pit. On top of that it is the entry area for the Elven Village/Yggdrasil and there are many reasons you visit there.
At the southern end of the Deep Dark Forest you can find the entrance to the Baleful Swamp.
