Dungeons [lv. 95] Molten Monastery

Molten Monastery is a dungeon idea that I have made up. It is a level 95 recommended dungeon, and can be located here on the map: https://map.wynncraft.com/#/1502/64/-5787/max/Wynncraft - overworld/Wynncraft World

Lore: For centuries, a dragon known as the Crimson Tarragon has taken refuge in the Molten Heights after escaping from deep underneath Rodoroc in the caves thousands of meters below the great city. He has claimed the lives of thousands of hero's who challenge it. This mighty beast will reward anyone who defeats it with immense power, but at the potential cost of your life if you fail to defeat it.

only problem i have is that the location is a bit inaccessible but otherwise its pretty cool

 

In my opinion, placing projectile enemies in a parkour section is pretty scummy

 

For the quiz, I am pretty sure the question about the penny is lore breaking.

 

I don't know if the sign part would work, but it's awesome otherwise. More details could be given on the bossfight, maybe. Like which spells the boss uses and how the arena you figth him in.

 

It seems like it's more of a quest than a dungeon to me tbh but that's just my opinion

 

450,000 exp?! You get that much from CSST xD and this dungeon is meant to be 10 levels higher. At this stage levelling up takes around 6 million xp, so anything around 600,000 or 700,000 would be more appropriate.

 

Since it's level 95 I'm pretty sure it would actually give near the same exp as csst because csst gradually loses the amount of xp you get from it as you level farther and farther away from it's recommended level but yeah increasing the exp is probably needed as csst actually gives you 550,000 if you do it at level 86 with no xp bonus (same for FF at level 90)

 

I really like this, I can tell you put a lot of thought into it. But just please don't put enemies in the parkour section, thats just mean.

 

Question about the riddles.

Will it be multiple choice?
cuase there's not really a way they can awnser.

 

Making random noises for no reason, typically asmr.

 

I don’t think that Crimson Tarragon should have dialogue. It’s kinda cheeseball-y and doesn’t add that much to the dungeon. Plus it contradicts what the boss is like. The boss and its minions supposed to be an immortal, fire breathing dragon and lava monsters from the depths of hell, how could they speak? Also the ending makes no sense. Why wouldn’t the dragon want the player dead? It contradicts what it said earlier and just sounds like a cheap cop out for not adding an actual final boss. You can’t just tease the player of fighting the dragon the entire dungeon and then throw it out the last minute.

So I would just cut the dialogue and add an actual boss fight. Everything else is fine except for the parkour, and the riddles were really well done.

 

yes fuck up the entire lore of like the entire fucking world

it is stated multiple times that ozoth is the last dragon, and all others were killed a while back

^ massive problem

Firstly: Dwarves and shit would try and beat him up, considering what dragons did in the dwarves/doguns war
Secondly: If I remember correctly, centuries ago was WHEN THE DWARF DOGUN WAR HAPPENED
every. single. dragon. in. molten. heights. got. killed. in. the. dwarf. dogun. war.

 

Can be a wyvern and not a dragon

Also dialog imo should be just roars and spooky sounds to show you are fighting a beast and not some intelligente being

 

Ok, four rooms, solid, whoa! One parkour, one puzzle, one fighting, and one boss? I mean the dungeon is a neat idea, but I feel like it doesn't do anything innovative, like all the other dungeons, such as climbing up the cogs in FF, or going on that boat ride for UC, or the cannon room in GG, it just doesn't feel... well... new, and fresh. I mean there's a fighting room in every dungeon, parkour in most, and a boss room, the only thing you have is a riddle room, which isn't too good, not to mention it has already been used in a quest, also it would just get a bit boring once you've memorized all of the possible riddles, also the boss fight is a bit underwhelming. So, overall, nice concept, but not really amazing, over the top execution.

 

yes but I just gave a simple solution to that problem

 

then he should fix it to wyvern, not dragon

also no:

wy·vern
ˈwīvərn/
noun
HERALDRY

1. a winged two-legged dragon with a barbed tail.

 

700k xp


Pls no pArkour

I can't climb

 

could still work lore wise
