Dungeons in Shadowlands: Mists of Tirna Scithe

Auch wenn der Ardenwald im Moment noch immer nicht in der Alpha von Shadowlands verfügbar ist, so haben die Entwickler von Blizzard Entertainment einen ihrer letzen Build für diese Testphase aber zumindest dafür genutzt, um den in dieser Zone vorhandenen Dungeon „Mists of Tirna Scithe“ zum Testen freizuschalten. Dieser neue Dungeon ist ebenfalls für die Levelphase in der nächsten Erweiterung bestimmt, weshalb daran interessierte Personen diese Instanz auch bereits ab Stufe 50 betreten dürfen. Wer sich für diese Instanz anmeldet, der trifft an diesem Ort auf drei verschiedene Encounter, deren Optik und Mechaniken jeweils auf den Themen des Ardenwalds basieren und höchstwahrscheinlich einen Teil der Geschichte dieser Zone darstellen.

Während die Hallen der Buße und die Nekrotischen Schneise ziemlich gradlinige Dungeons mit klassischen Mechaniken darstellen, so haben die Entwickler sich für „Mists of Tirna Scithe“ aber einige etwas außergewöhnliche Elemente ausgedacht. Passend zu dem Namen dieser Instanz gibt es an diesem Ort zwischen Boss 1 und 2 nämlich ein kleines Nebellabyrinth, welches mehr von den Spielern erfordert als nur das simple Niederstrecken von anwesenden Trash Mobs. In diesem Teil des Dungeons müssen die Spieler mehrere an Wegkreuzungen angebrachte Symbole miteinander vergleichen und herausfinden, welches Zeichen nicht zu dem Rest passt. Eine richtige Wahl führt die Gruppe zum nächsten Abschnitt und eine falsche Wahl teleportiert die Spieler an den Anfang zurück. Die Mechanik mit dem Vergleichen von Symbolen wird auch beim zweiten Boss eingesetzt, weshalb die Spieler auf jeden Fall verstehen sollten, was genau sie an dieser Stelle tun müssen.

Weitere Informationen zu diesem Dungeon findet ihr sowohl in den folgenden Übersichten für die Mechaniken und die Beute der Bosse als auch in dem folgenden Video von dem bekannten Streamer Towelliee.
