Appearance

The Colossal Rampart is a huge fortress housing many mobs built near the edge of the mountain where the Gale Sanctum was built. The rampart seems to have been damaged over time and some of the land has been converted to farmland for any mobs residing within its walls and nearby. Deep within the rampart are two indoor gardens, various winding stairs and hallways, as well as various wind puzzle rooms that share a general look to the Gauntlet and the Sanctum itself. On the farmland are war machines, such as a catapult and a battering ram in which the hero has to burn to progress into the mission.

Trivia

This mission spawns the widest range of mobs of any location, including the most types of illagers. Every non-boss Illager type is able to spawn here, except for the vindicator chef.
Sometimes a room of minecarts with TNT can spawn, and there you will have to battle an Evoker.^[1]
