Walkthrough

Talk to Drysdan to turn into an animal and walk into the nearby cave to pick up Special Plants. There is a chance that when you do so, a Grub or Jungle Wurm Hatchling will spawn and attack you. 15 roots are required to finish the event with one player at the event. While in animal disguise, the ghosts inside will be friendly to you, however they will not aid you if you are attacked. If you attempt to enter the cave while not disguised, you will be killed quickly by the ghosts. If you down while in the cave, you lose transformation and are quickly killed by ghosts.
