Necromancer's Excavation

Necromancer's Excavation is an Azurite Mine node. It can only spawn in two biomes: Abyssal Depths and Fungal Caverns. It may contain generic loot as stated in the node description, or the more valuable Contains Minion or Aura Items, which gives aura or minion related fossils, uniques, and most importantly, rare rarity items with Delve drop-only modifiers.

The boss of this node is Diabolic Whisperer, a unique necromancer.

The node is identical to Grim Copse, which can be found in Petrified Forest.
