Brunnen des Lichts - Teil 3 - The River of Blood

x0y1

Brunnen des Lichts - Teil 3 - Der Fluss des Blutes (The River of Blood) ID: NW-DMBTAXHMV is one of the German featured quest this week.
It's the last part of the campaign. It offers 3 difficulty options and 2 maps at 1500/1500 details, one is full custom 3D build dwarven mine inside a mountain and the 2nd one is the river of blood in the nine hells.


The quest is in German but you will have quest markers but don't trust the glowing patch because the 3D breaks it but it's quite simple go down deeper and deeper inside the mine until you reach each location and for 2nd map you have a portal hub until the end stage.


Each map has a difficulty option. Talk to the fist npc to change it.


You can choose between
1. Easy-Medium (Leicht-Mittel) non stacked encounters + sometimes helper npc you can use or not.
2. Medium-Hard (Mittel-Schwer) stacked boss encounters
3. Hard-Diabolic (Schwer-Teuflisch) stacked boss encounters, duo option or very challenging solo

If you have a lvl 50 char or a new 60 without gear play on easy, you have options for extra helper npc as well. 2nd is one I played with my lvl 30 char and option 3, is the one I chose with my 11k GS DC & CW.


Feel free to explore, there is more then one way down for the first map and you can find extra tools that can help your in your fight. For the 2nd map if you free emilia vandel she will help you in the final battle. The dialog options are mostly build around good(1)-neutral(2)-evil(3).


You need on easy ~15m-20m and on hard 25m-30m depending on your choices, atm average time is ~27m. The quest starts in Protector's Enclave, talk to Alrica Fenta like the last 2 parts.


For the first map you can change the brightness in the cave/mine. Use the torch outside. Option 1 is standard, option 2 makes it dark like a human would see it and option 3 turns it off again.



Standard Brightness



Option (2) with post processing on.





I started building this foundry mission last year without the 3D tools we have now. So back then, we used invisible walls and teleporters. I finish about 40-50% and then took a ~6month break from NW. Finish it last month with the new tools including the new dungeon kit.






Spoiler!


After you found out what Lord Masson did in part 2, he was behind the orc attacks and the torturing you found his final destination a old dwarven mine where he expects to find a ancient portal.


The merchant guild will support you and has build a operation base inside the mine. Enter it and talk to the first 2 npcs, this will lead to a attack on the base from a kobold tribe. Defend them and then go deeper and deeper inside the mine until you reach the dungeon area. Feel free to explore the way down.


Take out the kobold guard and talk to the prisoners. You find the woman that did escape from Lord Massons house in part 2 and one of the guards.


Go to the end of one of the dungeon tunnels and open the broken trapdoor. You need to kill the kobold champion and then find the portal in the magma chamber.




Now you are stuck in the nine hells and the guardian doesn't like you. He will give you 5 task to get out but can you trust him?


You need always talk to him and then enter the portal behind him. You can go back through the portal to the center hub but as alway there are more ways. On the ice island you can find a sign on a totem that says only
the brave go forward but will you make a leap of faith or better walk/ride the way back to the portal....
On the graveyard island you see another island nearby, maybe you can find a way down, the roots seem strong enough....


Depanding on your choices the final last part changes a bit from a good to evil ending plus a few neutral ones. You can free the ghost from damnation or make it even worse for them. The center is around the Vandels, a cursed family thanks to a devils deal. Herzog (Duke) Vandel sacrifce a lot of people to save a castle and the king but he killed many inocent people including his own daughter.


If you enter the final chamber you can get support. If you see lights from the sky, run to this position to get help.


I hope you enjoy it.
