A forest-filled Overworld region containing the Deep Dark, Little Howl Hamlet and the Woodcutter's Outpost.
The Howling Woods is a forest-filled region of the Overworld. Its sub-areas are the Deep Dark, Little Howl Hamlet and the Woodcutter's Outpost, which Mojang's developers showed first in the Deep Dig after-show.
Xbox Wire describes a Witch boss encounter in the northern part of the woods. The Deep Dark's underground caverns are worth returning to for better loot, and the Twisted Warden guards the Deep Dark portal at the end of that location.
