iWhat Forgotten Hollow, from CoT2 is
Every other place in this game has fifteen years of guides behind it. This one has none, so there is nothing to remember and the only way to describe it is to read the rows: 13 maps filed under Shallow Passage, 10 monsters between level 24 and 50, and what each of them spawns, where.

CoT2: From Closed Online Test 2 (Beta 2). Not in the Public Release; kept here as a record.Forgotten Hollow is from Closed Online Test 2. The Public Release does not have its maps, so every map and spawn below is the test client’s, kept here as a record rather than somewhere to go today. Its monsters are still in the release’s files, 7 of them with no live map to spawn on. Of the quests that point here, the 3 only the test had are marked CoT2. What the release removed

The EXP ceiling is the same measure the training tables use: spawn points times EXP times 3600 over the respawn timer, at full pool with instant clears. It is an upper bound nobody reaches and it is the right way to compare one of these maps with another. The best of them is Forbidden Entrance.

EXP per HP is what the level band planner ranks on: it stands in for kill speed without inventing a cast time for your class.

What it drops is not known yet

Nothing here has a drop row, and that is a fact about our tables rather than about the area. Our drop data is a set of v83 GMS tables joined by monster name, as data/current/drops.json says of itself - and these monsters did not exist in v83, so there is nothing to join them to. A page that filled the gap from a fan wiki would be guessing with a straight face. They are still monster rows in the Public Release, so if you have seen what one drops, its monster page takes reports.

What is not here

A story. The area was new to Closed Online Test 2, and that client carried its maps, its monsters and its placements, not its telling: what the NPCs say, what the place is for, and how it fits the rest of the world are server-side and are not in any export. Everything above is a reading; anything you have seen in game that contradicts it is worth telling us about.
