Game Design /[world]: Lost Sanctuary Review

Even though I literally have an abandoned lv 72 warrior and lv 40 assassin, I miraculously somehow missed Lost Sanctuary in both playthroughs. So, with a new lv 22 archer, I decided to try it out.

Spoiler: Review

The first stage is a ok, although I think the parkour on the bridge is a bit to easy compared to the next stages

Then stages 2 to 4. This is the part I think doesn't make Lost Sanctuary worth doing. It's just same thing over and over: you kill cowardly creepers while the Gila Lizards bully you with there fire breath (I think). And 60% of the time you are dealing with the lizard guys instead of the creepers

Stage 5 is parkour on a giant tree. Parkour is easy, but the black dino thingies (I forgot their names) are the guys that make it annoying. They just kamikaze you off the platform you are on and spiral into the ground below, along with you. At least the game makes you respawn at the start.

I also almost died at the entrance to the boss room because of some stray lizards, which is embarrassing.

The boss gimick is cool, but the creepers decide to stop spawning sometimes. I also failed the run here because for some reason the game thought I was still holding my W key and made just chest bump Garoth and killed myself.

So on a scale of 1 to 5 stars I would give it 2. The repetivity just sucks and the creeper spawn rate in the boss room is trash. The design and parkour is poggers tho.

So what could be changed? Well first of all, the repetitive stages. Instead of doing the same puzzle over and over, It can alternate. I think it should be creeper puzzle for stage 4, some kind of boss thingy (like in sst stage 1) for stage 5, and some kind of creeper escort for stage 6. Remove the dino guys on the tree parkour, enclose the boss entrance a bit better, and increase the gaps on the bridge in stage 1, and I think the dungeon would be 10x better.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk

 

Salted acknowledges that Lost Sanctuary is terrible currently, and says they have plans to change it when they have time

 

Well thats some good stuff
I actually semi-raged when i died to Garoth, because I was trying to get Mud, the boots there, when I realized I had a morph gold...

 

uh no. Unless wynns ai gets much, MUCH better, I would stray away from escorts for the moment (unless its the tp type, which is just boring)

 

what about how UR/CUR does the escort sections?

 

That was what I meant

 

the person I quoted said that they didn’t want escort sections because of the ai but this uses good ai. The response wasn’t directed at you.

 

I know that I'm just confirming to everyone that was what i in fact meant

 

oh nvm then, that's cool. I thought you meant like this horrible one: https://forums.wynncraft.com/thread...the-canyon-guides-quest-40-supporters.278857/
