Prime example: The Dungeons of Dol Guldur

Here in the Dungeons of Dol Guldur you’ll be asked to free nine prisoners. As you scour the dungeons for these captives you’ll have to do your best to avoid the jail guards rather than fight them directly. Getting caught by the guards gets you put in jail and counts as one of your attempts to free prisoners from that guard’s wing. There are three wings in all, each with its own prisoners to free. Do your best to free as many prisoners as you can and you’ll succeed at the challenge mode for the dungeon. Fail too often and you’ll miss out on the extra rewards!

The Sword-hall of Dol Guldur

The Sword-hall of Dol Guldur pits you against various champions of the Enemy and features our most drastic challenge mode of the cluster. In the normal version of the dungeon you’ll face waves of enemies and bosses in turn; in the challenge mode you face all three bosses at once! Rest assured that each boss’ mechanics work in a way that requires awareness of what each one is doing at any given time. Expect many a repair bill as you learn this one. ;)

The Warg-pens of Dol Guldur

The Warg-pens feature a more orthodox design for a three-person instance (but will be no less challenging). Here, the goblins have managed to raise many different breeds of warg each with its own unique ability. Figuring out how to deal with the different breeds will prove to be the difference between an efficient clear and a warg’s next meal! What’s more, the wargs you encounter each time you enter the instance will be chosen randomly so each clear will be different than the last. Learning to deal with proper kill order, crowd control priority, etc. will provide a constant challenge for dungeon explorers.

Sammath Gul

Sammath Gul is our six-person dungeon and will feature a behind the scenes look at the former chambers of the Enemy itself. Players will fight three unique bosses with substantial coordination mechanics as they attempt to discover the mysteries behind the Necromancer’s former abode. Successfully complete the challenge mode and you’ll face off against a fourth boss!

Barad Guldur

No war effort can be sustained indefinitely, and the elves’ efforts here are no exception. The elves are looking for a brave fellowship of adventurers to storm the tower of Dol Guldur and drive out the leadership behind its forces. Are you up to the challenge?
