World Secret Areas After Ahc

So basically, after completing A Hunter's Calling, multiple secret areas that basically relate to the events in the quest will open up around the world. How to access them is the same way you access the stages in AHC: go to a certain area and stand there until you get teleported. These areas will feature challenging mobs and have a boss you have to defeat at the end. Once you defeat it, you would get a reward, usually a fabled item with a lot of emeralds.

Here are some ideas:

1. Corrupted Wynn
How to access: go to the Forgery and stand in the water pond below it to get teleported.
When you enter, you spawn in a corrupted Ragni, which had been destroyed by the corrupted in the first stage of AHC. This secret area is basically a challenge road, as your supposed to travel from Corrupted Ragni to Corrupted Detlas, all the while getting attacked by powerful enemies. At Detlas, there is a boss called Scourge of Wynn. What's unique about this boss is that it would be the first "worm boss." How it works is that there's a head, and multiple "segments" with the heal ai following it. The goal is to kill the head, while killing the segments as those would weaken the head because all the segments have access to heal. When you kill the scourge, a portal opens at the Almuj exit and you get teleported out of the area. The only places that can be accessed is Ragni, the Emerald Trail, Nivla Forest, Detlas Suburbs and Detlas.

2. Fallen Rodoroc
How to access: stand in front of the door to the barracks in D&D pt. 2
The secret area is basically a ruined version of Rodoroc. Because of the Dwarven civil war, Rodoroc had been left in ruins and abandoned. The only things living there are magma elementals who will kill anything in sight. You are spawned outside Rodoroc, and the boss, the Magma Heart, is located in the armory. The Magma Heart is a large, magma structure which spawns magma elementals and has a ton of health; the same amount as the eye. When defeated, the heart explodes and in it's place is the exit.

3. Dark Almuj
How to access: stand inside the Almuj vault, the area before the labyrinth and in front of the giant golem face.
In this timeline, since Amadel rose to power, and with nobody to stop him from gathering the crystals, Amadel had gotten unlimited power and had covered the world in eternal darkness. You spawn at the entrance to Almuj. Upon entering, you are closed into the marketplace and the only way to escape is by killing the enemies and using tokens dropped by them to exit the area. As you climb up the stairs and into the ruins of the bank, you find a heavily buffed version of Amadel, Final Form; Amadel, Darkness Incarnate. He of course, has rainbow defense, and has much more health, with all 3 phases combined amounting to 1.5million health. He is also faster and stronger too! After defeating him, the northern exit turns into a portal and you can exit.

 

bump. :D

 

Would improve endgame content a lot, with new challenges and lore and builds. Only problem is that it would require a good length of time (it's mostly built, but "corrupting" an area is akin to detailing, which both take a lot of time), so it might have to be rolled out over several updates.

 

good idea, +1

 

for the scourge of wynn, even though the body segments are able to heal the head, are the body segments able to heal themselves?

 

No, maybe the devs can give the segments heal immunity?

 

The Ragni to Detlas is an amazing idea, seeing as the main challenge in the early game is trying to get to detlas from ragni.
If you try to use the tunnel here you should just get to a short cave with a sign letting you know that Drale has been killed.
The boss should just be the version of yourself from AHC though, basically like Novalescent's Plateau of reflection boss. While you fight, Bak'al watches you, then you fight him once you defeat yourself.

that's my idea.
