Shadowlands: Der neue Dungeon „De Other Side“

Mit dem neuesten Build für die derzeit laufende geschlossene Alpha von Shadowlands haben die Entwickler von Blizzard Entertainment unter anderem den brandneuen Dungeon „De Other Side“ in dieser Testphase freigeschaltet, der sich ebenfalls im Ardenwald befindet und jetzt von allen eingeladenen Testern besucht werden kann. Während die bisher in der Alpha freigeschalteten Instanzen alle für die Levelphase in diesem Addon bestimmt waren und deshalb bereits ab Stufe 50 zugänglich sind, so gehört der Dungeon „De Other Side“ aber wohl zu den für Spieler auf Level 60 ausgelegten Instanzen der nächsten Erweiterung. Deshalb wäre es auch gut möglich, dass dieser Dungeon in der Zukunft mit einer notwendigen Vorquest oder anderen Anforderungen ausgestattet wird.

Was die in dem Dungeon „De Other Side“ vorhandenen Gegner betrifft, so handelt es sich bei dieser Instanz im Grunde um das persönliche Reich des Loas Bwonsamdi. Aus diesem Grund handelt es sich bei den Trash Mobs in diesem Dungeon auch oft um die sterblichen Überreste von Trollen oder mit diesem Volk zusammenhängenden Wesen. Zusätzlich dazu beinhaltet dieser Dungeon drei Unterbereiche für die ersten drei Bosskämpfe, die optisch jeweils auf einer gnomischen Werkstatt, dem äußeren Bereich des Ardenwalds und Zul’Gurub nachempfunden sind. Wenn diese drei Abschnitte von Spielern bewältigt wurden, dann können sie in der Mitte des Dungeons gegen den Endboss Mueh’zala antreten und den gefangenen Bwonsamdi von seinen Ketten befreien.

Wer jetzt mehr über diese Instanz und die vier vorhandenen Bosse erfahren möchte, der findet folgend sowohl Bildmaterial zu der Optik des Dungeons als auch Übersichten zu den Mechaniken der einzelnen Encounter.
