Dierdre's Steps is a hidden area in Mount Maelstrom. It serves as the stage for the Hidden Garden jumping puzzle.

Getting there[edit]

This area is accessible through a Mysterious Portal created after defeating one of the elemental Keepers. Each is in a different area and opens a gate to a different start in Dierdre's Steps. Each keeper takes roughly 15 minutes to reappear.

Notes[edit]

  • This area is commonly missed when working towards completion of the Maguuma Jungle Explorer Achievement.
  • It is possible to discover this area without using the Mysterious Portal by running into the eastern edge of Zone Violet in the Infinite Coil Reactor, next to the large spherical objects.
