The Terror Grows dungeon is the 
 Warlord silver challenge.  The dungeon is a modified version of the 
 Hexx Ruins.  The boss uses the name and sprite of Bleaty the 
 Goat, but his attributes are actually a slightly tweaked version of Stheno the 
 Gorgon.
Preparations
 Thief Den and 
 Mage Tower
Reward
This challenge will grant you the perplexing but powerful 
 Trisword.  This item is one of the most sought-after in the game for players who enjoy playing as 
 Halfling or 
 Gnome characters.
Resources Available
The dungeon will always spawn the 
 HALPMEH, 
 WEYTWUT and 
 IMAWAL glyphs.  As well, you will always find an altar of 
 The Earthmother.  Otherwise, there are normal shops to be found throughout the dungeon.
Revenant Goats
Like the 
 Hexx Ruins, every time you slay a monster an evil 
 Revenant will rise in its place.  However, these revenants take the form of a 
 Goat.  No matter what level the monster is, these revenants will deal 999 damage, and they also have 
 First Strike.  They grant no XP when killed.  There are three ways to deal with these monsters:
- Death Protection: you can survive their attacks with death protection
 - Slow: a slowed monster loses first strike, allowing you to avoid their devastating 999 damage attack.  You can use either 
 WEYTWUT or the Entanglement boon of the Earthmother to do this. - Petrify: using the 
 IMAWAL glyph to turn these monsters into statues will effectively remove them from play 
Death protection is a very expensive way to deal with these goats, so where-ever possible try to stone or slow them.
Boss
The boss uses the name and sprite of Bleaty the 
 Goat, but his attributes are actually a slightly tweaked version of Stheno the 
 Gorgon.  When attacked for the first time, every remaining monster on the dungeon (including goat revenants) will turn to dust and empower Bleaty with additional resistances.  It is in your best interest to remove or petrify all of them before fighting the final boss.  Bleaty has 100% death gaze, but reasonably low damage.  You can either use 
 HALPMEH to fight at full health or 
 CYDSTEPP to fight at 1 HP, whichever makes more sense for your character.  Use 
 Clearance of 
 The Earthmother to restore your mana between attacks.
