Rotten Vale is a valley full of corpses and bones which the various scavengers of the ecosystem feed on. It is a mystical looking place covered with fungus strands and pools of acid. The ‘Miasma’ bacteria that feed on organic matter is unique to the Vale. The Miasma infested monsters become extra violent and even the Rafinosu, usually docile, will attack the hunter on sight.

The individual Girros also have paralyzing teeth and hunt as a group. Be careful not to be surrounded, as the Miasma has increased their aggressiveness.
