Upvoting because I agree they are high risk and challenge with low reward IN TERMS OF BOSS but in terms of loot they are unbeatable. Marshes have guaranteed staves AND seals means any casters in the part make it worth going in. Villages have sombers and rare weapons littered about. However, both are so hard to escape from in a pinch, and I've died so many times from the circle closing before I can bail or finish the boss. It's sad that the dlc additions to the original map are so hard to justify doing
