I have arrived at the location for the Forest Apex creature and its an empty cavern. I need to finish the quest to kill and Apex. I travelled back to The Watch and happy to start again, extra essence is always a bonus, just a pity after doing the run through the areas.
Hi there, the Elder Eoten of the Forest Vault presents as a large gnarled tree in the final chamber of the vault, and like many older creatures will conserve its energy. Try striking the tree and maybe it will wake up.
