The Dried Lake

The Dried Lake is an area in Act 4. It has no waypoint and is connected to Highgate. It is the first area players will enter after reaching Highgate in order to kill Voll, Emperor of Purity.

The exit to Highgate spawns in the northwest of the map. The player must travel south and east to find the boss's ruined camp and the boss himself. A lore item is available after beating him. Another unique monster, Nightwane, is elsewhere on the map.
