Players equip the [[Bramble Begone]] [[bundle]] at the start. [[Herbicide Spray]] is used to destroy the vine walls that surround the octovine ('''not''' the octovine itself). Once these vines are removed, build [[Herbicide Turret]]s and {{skill icon|Fire (Herbicide Turret)|size=20}} to remove one slime layer per shot. The turrets are very vulnerable and will be destroyed by a single hit from an enemy. The outer vines periodically regenerate and can also be destroyed once all slime layers have been removed, bypassing the use of Herbicide Spray.<br />
<br />
Each player can remove six layers with a single, fresh turret. [[Alacrity]] and [[quickness]] can allow for an additional shot before the turret expires. The skill works similarly to a [[mortar]] and must have line of sight with the octovine. If used correctly, the skill will leave a damaging area of effect field at the base of the octovine while dropping a slime layer stack. The turret can be placed a little further back to avoid this field.<br />
<br />
[[Enchanted Armor]]s should focus on clearing a path to the octovine by moving the Triggerblossoms away and disabling the [[Mordrem Arrowhead]] and [[Elite Mordrem Crusher]]s by breaking their Defiance bar. Avoid disabling the Arrowhead and allow it to roll away if it is near or on top of the octovine. If not, the next attack after it recovers will down all players and destroy all turrets. Mordrem Crushers can knockdown players and destroy turrets with their conal smash. Defiance bars can be broken in one or two hits using a combination of [[Heavy Weight]], [[Compulsion]], or [[Freezing Blast]], with the first two skills used to reposition enemies.<br />
<br />
This lane can be moderately difficult due to mechanical failure (especially due to the below bug) or poor enemy management. Prioritize killing the [[Mordrem Breacher]] first then the enemies it spawns to prevent premature destruction of turrets. Enemies will respawn indefinitely if the Mordrem Breacher remains alive. If the spawned enemies are not killed before the next Mordrem Breacher spawns, it is possible to have multiple sets of enemies present (e.g. four Elite Mordrem Crushers instead of two).<br />

{{Bug| <br />
* The Herbicide Spray usually has no effect on the vine walls as of an unknown date. This can be bypassed by placing and using the Herbicide Turrets right next to the octovine, making sure the turrets have line of sight. However, this skill works as intended in the [[Help Gammalon Vineripper destroy the brambles and clear a path to the Exalted]] event.<br />
* Although the vine walls are immune to conditions and damage, the fire field from the [[Skyscale]]'s {{skill icon|Blast|size=20}} [[engage]] skill can damage them. Three or four of these fields are enough to destroy the wall.}}<br />
