Enchanted Valley



The Enchanted Valley (also commonly known as Centaur Valley or Enchanted Forest) is a small, hidden place only accessible by the use of the fairy ring transportation system with code BKQ. When the player appears in the valley, he/she will be standing behind a waterfall. The waterfall has a steep incline which can be walked down into the valley.

It contains the NPCs Wood Dryad and Centaur, alongside attackable rabbits, and the creature unique to the Enchanted Valley, the stag. The trees resemble Arctic pine trees. The entire area is surrounded by what appears to be a very thick concentration of these trees, however, these trees do not have leaves covering the whole trunk and they somewhat resemble maple trees with arctic pine branches. A river, fed by the waterfall, leads to the southeast towards an (as of yet) unexplorable region. The side of the river is covered in thick reeds.

If a player chops a tree here, a Tree Spirit will always attack. In addition, since the random event update on 25 February 2009, the former Rock golem and River troll random events reside here, too. Players can "activate" them by mining or fishing in the respective areas. The Tree spirit is level 14, and the Rock golem and River troll do not have a level, but they still can be attacked. It is confirmed that the trees cannot be cut. At some angles, the tree spirit will not attack you immediately, as the tree is so large (acting like a safespot), a player will always stop cutting the tree after four hacks and cannot receive any logs. The rocks contain an unknown substance, as prospecting them or mining them will yield no message in the text box and a Rock Golem attack. The Rock Golem and River troll have unnaturally high Hitpoints, most likely over 100. They attack with very high accuracy, almost never missing. They alternate between melee and ranged attacks whenever protection prayers activate, making them worthy opponents.

The massive majority of players have no idea that this area even exists. The valley has little use other than those who enjoy the serenity or look for nostalgia fighting retired random event monsters. The mysterious Wood Dryad and Centaurs, along with the Stag, do not exist anywhere else in the game.

Trivia

 * This plane also looks like it was not affected by the high detail graphic updates. For example, when the player speaks to a Centaur, its chat head does not seem to be updated. The Wood Dryad's chat head was upgraded, but this is possibly because the Dryad resembles a human body, meaning that its "twiggy" body is actually clothing.


 * The large rock's examine info are references to rock and roll, being "I guess it's not a rolling stone" and "Rock, but obviously not roll."


 * A unique red and yellow butterfly orbits around the woods, examine info: "These look much better in the wild."


 * Before the advent of the Home teleport system, players who dropped their Dramen staff had no way of getting back to the real world. Many players became trapped in the Enchanted Valley until a player could come to give them teleport runes to get back to Gielinor.
