• Equipment:
  

Weapons:

       Any Zealous Bow will do his job. A hint is to use a long
       ranged Bow like Longbow.

Armor:

       I prefer a Druids Armor with as much Energy as possible.
       But I think any max. AL Armor will do.

• Usage
  

       You start at Ventari's Refuge passing Reed Bog to
       The Falls. Always keep your running stances up, then it
       should be no problem to run past the Spiders.

       In the Falls there are some important points you should
       watch at:
                   - Avoid being blocked/hit by Trolls
                   - Keep stances up
                   - Always kill one group after another
                   - Don't get to close to Root Behemoths

       At first you have to run in the Area where Root Behemoths
       are common. - see post below -
       There are also some small groups of Skales which casts
       Rotting Flesh. Keep Troll Unguent up and you have enough
       time to take them out. (Hint: If only 2 Skales left,
       disrupt Rotting Flesh on one Skale and use Savage Shot on
       the other to deal more dmg.)
       
       There are two strategies to kill a Root Behemoth:

       1) If you are on a higher elevation than the Behemoth
          use Apply Poison and attack it. If you have a
          long-ranged Bow it shouldn't attack you.

       2) If you are on an equal elevation use Kindle Arrows
          and Escape and attack it. If Kindle Arrows is running
          out, use Dodge while activating Troll Unguent and
          Kindle Arrows.

       To take out Wind Riders use Apply Poison and
       Troll Unguent. Make sure that everyone of the group is
       poisoned, then use a stance to run away.
       - Troll Unguent should be used out of Wind Riders range -

This is the map.
In the marked areas you'll find the Root Behemoths.




Enjoy

Poison Tip Signet could replace apply poison (now that the skill exists) so you don't have two preparations.
