Supplement WoW, known to all players as Lich King, was introduced a long time ago, but hikes on instagrams of the fabulously beautiful Northrend location have not yet lost their relevance. And this is not surprising, because at that time there were really interesting for the passage of the dungeon and battlefield. One of these places, combining both directions of the game, was Ice Ice Lake, on the territory of which you can find the crypt of Archavon, the entrance to which is not open to everyone. It is about this dungeon that will be discussed in the article.
Game world of WoW in the era of Lich: the realm of ice and winds
How is Northrend different from previous locations? Firstly, Wratch Of The Lich King is one of the most interesting additions to WoW. The crypt of Archavon in it is in the top ten places where all players strive to get. In addition to many new and interesting raid dungeons, the Northrend map has enriched the game world with the first battlefield for the PvP mode, namely Ice Ice Lake. The main difference of this place is that, even while on the servers for the PvE game, the characters who entered the territory of the Lake can fight each other. Secondly, nowhere else in the game world "Warcraft" you will not find the area with such a dense snow cover and such harsh and cold winds. The place where the crypt of Archavon is located is also located in the region of endless snowfalls and snowstorms, namely in the northern part of the Ice Islands.
Icecream Lake and Arcavon's Dungeon - what do you have in common?
Perhaps many players do not yet understand why, in addition to their location, the Lake of Ice Ice and the crypt of Archavon are connected. Of course, there are secrets here too, because the developers of the game applied all their imagination to the creation of this location. The fact is that all the players who want to go through the dungeon are haunted by the question of where the crypt of Archavon is, how to get into it. After all, the entrance to inst opens only to the characters of the faction that won the battle for the lake. Victory in this battle cannot take place with the participation of only one player, therefore, most likely, you will have to queue for it or assemble a raid group that will crush the forces of the opposing faction. How to do it right?
What you need to do to get into the dungeon
The crypt of Archavon opens, as mentioned above, only to those who won in one of the most exciting battlefields with PvP mode. In order to do this, it is important not just to kill the enemy players, but to do something more. Firstly, it is important to take possession of as many special equipment as possible: siege machines, catapults and destroyers. To manage them, you need to capture the goblin workshops located on the territory of the Ice Ice Lake, as well as get the title. If with the seizure of workshops it is more or less clear, then getting the ranks is as follows: The player who killed 5 opponents or guards of the NPC becomes the corporal, the First Lieutenant - who caused the death of 10 characters or guards. After receiving the titles and capturing the workshops, you can saddle the selected combat vehicle and go to destroy the enemy towers. After the team of your faction wins, for 2.5 hours you will have access to one of the most mysterious dungeons of WoW.
Why go to the crypt of Archavon
Probably, many novice players will be surprised: why do so many actions for the sake of going to some kind of inst? The answer is simple - everything that can be obtained in this dungeon can help the player not only make certain achievements, but also get some very original gizmos. Firstly, the crypt of Archavon, the entrance to which opens in such an interesting and difficult way, will help put the character in good things for playing in PvP mode, namely in sets T-7, T-8, T-9 and T-10. A specific item of equipment falls from each boss insta. In addition, having conquered the place where the crypt of Archavon is located, as well as falling into the dungeon, any player with a 1% probability can become the owner of a black war mammoth. This mount is not so easy to obtain, because it costs a lot.
So, we found out what the crypt of Archavon is, how to get into it and what can be obtained there. Finally, we turn to those issues that are likely to interest any gamer - to tactics for bosses in this dungeon.
Tactics on Emalon: how to defeat the elements of the wind
The health reserve of this boss differs depending on the complexity of the raid: 2.8 million units if 10 players are playing against it, and 11 million if 25 players are set. In order to defeat this Emalon, it is necessary to include in the group for 10 people two tanks, three or four heals, and the rest the number to be taken from the fighters. In a group of 25 players, the number of tanks is also equal to two, but a few more heals are needed - 5 or 7.
The main thing in the battle with Emalon is the control of the boss himself and the elementals next to him. One tank controls the boss and the other controls the elementals. The fighters disperse throughout the room, as Emalon’s “chain lightning” ability deals maximum damage to players located close to each other. At the time of the cast by the boss of the “flash of lightning,” all members of the group should move away from him as far as possible. Throughout the battle, it is important to keep track of which elemental Emalon directs “reloading”. This can be recognized by the fact that the assistant boss begins to grow. It is important to prevent the explosion of the elemental, after which Emalon will be completely healed, therefore, after the "reboot" the entire DPS is sent to an increasing in size mob.
Tactics on Coralon: How to Resist Fire
On this game character, as players have noticed, the simplest tactics. The crypt of Archavon, they said, would have been much easier if it consisted of bosses like Coralon. The main point of the battle is the constant control of the boss by the tank, while the second tanker should be nearby so that the damage caused by his meteor ability does not damage one player at a time. Fighters, sending all possible DPS to the boss, must follow the puddles that appear after Coral casts the “blazing smut” spell. Hilam remains to monitor the condition of the tanks and those who fell under the influence of "blazing rage", and in time to restore the health of the group members.
Tactics on Toravona: how to melt ice
The next room, where the crypt of Archavon gives players another opportunity to get good armor, was the refuge of Torawon. This boss is more susceptible to destruction if there is a shaman or paladin in the group who can establish a totem with protection from ice magic. The task of the tankers is to distract the boss from the raid, which is in full force behind him. One of the tanks should be a little off to the point until 5 tanks of “frostbite” accumulate on the tank, after which they change places, and so on throughout the battle.
The task of the DMD and RDD of the fighters is to quickly destroy the “ice ball” that appears from time to time. After the ball, the boss begins to inflict AOE damage on the players with the “blizzard” ability, which insists on the raid participants and increases the damage they deal by 15% for each stack.
Stone boss Archavon: tactics
The last boss of the dungeon, the crypt of Archavon, in fact, Arkavon himself, personifying the durability of the stone, is the last point to gain achievement on passing insta. The tactics of confrontation for the players is that, being behind the Boss held by the tank, the fighters tried to put the most damage into it. When one of the tankers gets under the "piercing", as a result of which he loses control over the character for several seconds, he is replaced by a second tank. Heals at this time should pay special attention to the punctured player, healing him. Fighters can take enormous damage from Arcavon’s “choking cloud” ability, which deals damage over time to all characters in it. To avoid death, it is important to immediately leave the location of this cloud. Also pose a danger to players and "stone fragments."
As you can see, the dungeon on the Lake of Ice Oaks is very interesting from the point of view of tactics and production obtained, therefore, information about its location and the ways to get into it will be useful to all players without exception.
