First Impressions of Lair of Lostmauth

brandonv516

Keep in mind I've only ran it on Non-Epic. It's a very strange and lag infested dungeon first and foremost, but also:

1. It doesn't feel like a dungeon.
I'm not sure what a dungeon is by definition anymore. This feels too short and easy.

2. The bosses drop loot but you aren't always guaranteed an Epic (or even a Rare).
Maybe because it is Non-Epic? It requires a higher GS than PK but at least PK guarantees Epics.

3. The platform jumping is funny.
Not funny in a good way. The platform jumping is harder than the bosses (mostly because of lag), and that's wrong. Not to mention it's kind of pointless.

4. You fight the entire Cult of the Dragon Army.
Is that an Army? There's more Cult of the Dragon found in daily quests than here.

5. Lostmauth has a long cut scene at the end.
Is there any other dungeon where we have to sit and watch a cut-scene at the end boss? CN maybe (only completed it once)?

6. At 50% HP Lostmauth flees and you play the guessing game.
When the stalactites (had to look that up lol) drop, why is there no red circle to send warning?

7. There's two chests at the end, yay!
But you need a Campaign key for one and you have to be participating in Dungeon Delves for the other. So if neither apply, you can only hope the boss drops something of worth and you win it.

This isn't meant to be a rant thread, more for humor. I had fun overall but I'm still unsure if this "dungeon" is worth it (at least Non-Epic).

1) It's a campaign dungeon. Definitely a little different. (You'll find Shores is a bit different than the usual Skirmish, too)
2) See response to 1. Unlike other dungeons there are two chests at the end instead of one and that's where the real loot comes from. Loot is not guaranteed because it is some of the best loot in the game.
3) Yeah... totally out of place in this game. Not sure what they were thinking!
4) Agreed. Hilarious. Especially the ones you fight after the Scorpion battle.
5) There is a very short cut-scene at the end of Castle Never. It happens after the boss fight, not before, and can sometimes cause issues if people try to pick up loot before it triggers.
6) There are indeed red circles where the rocks fall. Look a little closer, friend.
7) Not true. You can use an Epic Dungeon or Daily Dungeon key to unlock the first chest as well. You can also purchase keys for Zen that work in both Lair and Shores for the second chest. In Shores, the first chest is 100% free (no keys required). Hope this helps you claim your treasure!

Agree with all of the above accept that there is a cut-scene at the end of Castle Never albeit a very short one :P.

OH YEAH! So short I forget about it except that it sometimes screws up loot. I edited my reply for this hehe.

6) Are you talking about when everyone has to circle up in the middle? I don't see any red at all.
7) I have 2 Epic Dungeon Keys and 3 Campaign Keys (2 left over from Zen Market) and the 1st chest has a message that says it is only available during Dungeon Delves. The 2nd chest works though.

6) Yes I am talking about when he hits 50%, takes of into the air, and everyone has to group up in the center (best to have one person standing on each of the 5 corners of the center hexagon). There is red there (it's small because the rocks have a small AoE) and it's entirely dodge-able. Look a little closer next time, I swear I speak the truth.
7) Weird! Most of my information comes from Epic LoL so this maybe different.

2. On Epic LoL bosses drop BLUES the majority of the time. Out of 10x the last 2 day, 30 boss encounters there was 3 purples and one Belt of stregnth

7. To ope the left chest- IF youre doing Standard LoL youll need a Daily or Standard Dungeon Key. IF youre doing EPIC LoL youll need a Daily or an EPIC Dungeon Key.
To open the right chest- Youll need the Arcane Dragon key or you can save AD and resources by trading 300z and buying 5x Legendary Dragon Keys that works in LOL and Shores. IF you check the chest and you have <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> you dont want just leave group to save key.
