So, I ran my scion thorough this map thinking that the Tropical Island map is generally pretty mild.  I didn't have trouble with most of the map, but this map was inhabited by devourers.  The rare devourers brutalized me.  I ran this a month ago.  (I participated in NaNoWriMo, so I tried to avoid PoE in November.)  I don't recall much else except having great difficulty with the rare devourers and being able to everything else without much difficulty.  I believe the map boss was about half dead before I even realized I had reached the boss.

This was the first time I had to use every single portal to finish the map.  That's right, I died five times, but in the end I got a full clear.  That's good enough for me to claim I have a Scion of mapping level.  When the new leagues launch and everything gets a skill tree reset, I'll probably reroll this into a completely different Scion build.  I'm thinking some sort of two handed axe Spectral Throw build.  I'll have to look at the new tree, but I had one in mind that seemed viable for the current tree.
