Dungeons A Wild New Dungeon Idea Appeared!

alright, alright, i know, there's already a new dungeon being added in the form of mortal mountain, gavel's first full-on dungeon. however...i and my two chiefs aren't exactly a fan of the way the current dungeons work. they rely basically on your ability to kill stuff. it's that simple.

so i have the solution to our problem, and anyone else who may be looking for more of an intellectual challenge for a change, in the form of a new dungeon:

timeless timeline
it doesn't take a genius to figure out where this dungeon will be centered at. since the door of time, and by extension time valley as a whole, hasn't been given a proper use, i figured it was only necessary to give the valley at least some meaning, and what better way than by allowing it to be the access to a dungeon? in time valley, there would be a small tunnel beneath the ground would lead to a separate little area where there's really no rhyme or reason to the landscape aside from a small, sparse black path that leads to the area with the dungeon merchant and potion merchant. it would be suggested that a level 108 (if assuming the corkus update will bring a level cap increase; 99+ otherwise) take on the dungeon, as it would be filled with dangerous creatures of the void and a few mind games.

yes, mind games. this thing actually relies mainly on one's deductive reasoning and problem solving skills and has far more than just a simple token gimmick, although that may be what it seems at first.

first section
the first section of the dungeon is fairly straightforward, to stick with the idea of the first stage of a dungeon being centered around killing things. some of the enemies might include:
- timelost adventurer [lv. 104, lv. 110] [drops tokens]
- continuum rift [lv. 106] [doesn't drop tokens]
- sentient timer [lv. 107, lv. 111] [drops tokens]

upon obtaining anywhere from 21 to 34 tokens and slinging them into the hopper, the door opens and congrats, you're past the first act. but the play is just beginning, and now the stage is set...

second section a.k.a. where things become anything other than incredibly simple
i won't lie, this is the part that's going to get flak. the second section - rooms 2-4 - will be filled with puzzles that are randomly shuffled (if such a thing is possible; otherwise, boldfaced puzzles are what i suggest to be the puzzles to use otherwise) every time you run the dungeon. some of the puzzles that may need to be solved include:
- the test of patience: three levers are on three separate platforms that are connected by fragmented platforms. in order to solve the puzzle, you must use the hint you receive to flip the switches in order and be prepared to fall. bonus points if you have to use wooden buttons to switch the direction that the platforms are heading towards as you make your way to each button.
- the test of intelligence: you are given a set of 4 questions selected from a variety of many regarding your knowledge of wynn and its creators. some potential questions might include:

- where are you when you first start a new class?
- what was salted originally going to pick for his username?
- what's the approximate chance of a perfect-ids morph-stardust?
- what's the chance of a mythic dropping from a mob?
- which piece of the morph set gives reflection?
- which of these is not one of the three items needed for ??? to enter the area under yahya's house?
- etc., etc.
- the test of interpretation: you are placed before 8 consecutive sets of 5 doors, with a hint pertaining to the solution nailed to the wall on a sign. you must correctly interpret the sign in order to advance to the next puzzle or section of the dungeon.
- the test of control: refrain from attacking the level 125 earth mage in front of you, regardless of how close he is to destroying you in one or two shots, for 30 seconds. failure to do so will result in having to start over. simple as that.
- the test of recall: for 3 consecutive 9x9 void gaps, you are shown a path that goes from where you are to the next door. you have 20 seconds to go through this path without any barrier blocks to guide you. barrier blocks will be in place while the solution is being displayed to prevent you from going along it.
- the test of deduction: you are given a set of 5 to 8 items and must drop them into the hopper in the correct order using the hint specified. must be successfully completed 3 separate times.

third section
upon completing the three previous puzzles given to you, you are given a text:
in a far-away future
where infinitely bright lights are seen
the ornaments of wynnterfest
are red, blue, yellow, and _____.

simple enough to figure out, except you must follow the resulting pattern all the way through a complex parkour-oriented fragmented bridge that leads to the boss door. if you mess up the pattern at any point or go back, the platform you land on will break very shortly after landing on it and you will be shunted back to the start. unlike the previous puzzles, this does not change at all. always stay ready to dodge along the way as plenty of borderline-unkillable level 115 timelost archers will make their full attempt to throw their arrows' weight around enough to knock you off the platforms, and they've got decent knockback. upon completing the parkour, you come to...

boss: time master breihr
(pronounced brye-er, change name if more fitting one can be found)
agitated that you are messing with the fabric of time without consulting him first, breihr decides to fight you one-on-one to prove that time and its lord are not to be trifled with.
stats:

level: 130
health: 250k, but does not regen
attack: ~3k normal, 80% air
defense: tanks 20% of all damage including neutral, takes only 10% damage from water and thunder
spells: heal ii, charge ii, attract ii, teleport iii
gimmick: in order to damage him, you must first scale the four giant clocks around the room and turn them on to grant the arena with a steady time flow, as breihr is invincible otherwise and will take no damage. for 10 seconds after the final clock is powered, breihr will be able to take damage and plenty of it if you're well-equipped enough.

le rewards
beating the dungeon will reward you with [1 Breihr's Clock] and [3 Timeless Timeline Fragment]. being a clock and a broken key, respectively, these will be able to net you some powerful items at the dungeon merchant:
- 1 weapon for each class
- a mega-powerful legendary wand
- a powerful set of accessories - 2 rings, a bracelet, and a necklace
- level 95-ish elemental potions for dungeon fragments, as well as wisdom potions for level 95-ish.

is this good?
simple as that. if it isn't, tell me what needs to be changed and just how horrible it is. i won't be surprised.

Nu mate this wouldnt work. The dungeon would be in a lvl 20 area but you would have a lvl like 100 dungeon? It would have to be corrupted but there is no "TimeLoss" regular dungeon. With these words being said I will now stop talking :P

I do like the idea. However, if you are gonna make a dungeon, there ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS has to be a key guardian. And it would only make sense to put the guardian in tie valley. That wouldn't work anyways because there would be a bunch of low levels raging because the stupid key guardian keeps on killing them. I mean, it might make sense to put them in some place where a high amount of magic power is present, perhaps in the sky islands, near the castle in 'the fortuneteller, or maybe even all the way up in the sky, where you need to plant the beanstalk, y'know? Setting this whole key guardian aside, I like the idea despite other people seem to hate it.

who said the guardians had to be in time valley? :p

although you're not wrong about the issue of where the key guardian would go --- even including gavel and the soon-to-be-released corkus, i can't really think of many places a key guardian would fit...
...then again, it's possible to find ice barrows and undergrowth ruins key guardians in the earlier areas of gavel, so i suppose it shouldn't be too surprising if the place picked (such as the area not too far outside of rodoroc, or maybe the islands near ahmsord) makes little-to-no sense.
you could always add a new area, but i doubt that's going to happen anytime soon, so... :/

i'm going to update the original post a bit, and will do so more thoroughly later on tonight.
