Wer sich auf dem Liveserver von World of Warcraft den im Dungeonkompendium vorhandenen Eintrag zu dem hoffentlich bald betretbaren neuen Schlachtzug „Antorus, der Brennende Thron“ mal ein wenig genauer anschaut, der wird relativ schnell bemerken, dass diese unter normalen Umständen sehr informative Übersicht bisher allerdings noch keine wirklichen Informationen zu dem als Endboss dieses Raids fungierenden Encounter „Argus, der Zerrütter“ beinhaltet. Durch das absichtliche Weglassen dieser Angaben wollten die Mitarbeiter von Blizzard Entertainment den bereits vor einigen Wochen getroffenen Aussagen von Ion Hazzikostas zufolge sowohl den Hype rund um diese Instanz erhöhen als auch das Geheimnis bezüglich der genauen Hintergrundgeschichte dieser verkörperten Form von Argus noch etwas länger wahren.

Interessanterweise brachte die gestern Abend auf den öffentlichen Testserver von World of Warcraft aufgespielte erste Version von Patch 7.3.2 allerdings eine aktualisierte Version des Dungeonkompendiums mit sich, die unter anderem eine Reihe von äußerst interessanten Informationen zu Argus, der Zerrütter beinhaltet. Dabei handelt es sich beispielsweise um eine auf der Lore basierende Beschreibung dieses Gegners, eine Liste mit der genauen Beutetabelle und eine Aufzählung aller von diesem Encounter verwendeten Fähigkeiten.

Damit ihr euch nun selbst ein genaues Bild von diesem Boss machen könnt, findet ihr weiter unten in diesem Artikel eine umfangreiche Übersicht mit allen bisher bereits in Patch 7.3.2 entdeckten neuen Informationen zu diesem Encounter.
