About 10-15 years ago, the Magic: The Gathering card game was very popular. It was collectible, that is, special decks with creatures and spells that players formed at their own request were issued for her. Then they fought among themselves, won cards from each other, arranged competitions and so on. As a result, it was decided to transfer this game to the computer world. The idea turned out to be quite successful, but still did not receive huge support among gamers who preferred to play card games in real life, and play something else at the computer. However, everything changed with the advent of the Hearthstone project, which was published relatively recently. It was also a card computer game, but it turned out to be much more successful and quickly became incredibly popular all over the world. One of the reasons this project has been successful has been adventures such as Hearthstone: Black Mountain. The passage of this particular episode of the game will be discussed in this article. However, first you need to understand what adventures are. How are they different from Hearthstone’s overall gameplay? The Black Mountain, the passage of which can take you many hours, is one of the most striking examples.
Adventures in Hearthstone
So what are adventures in the Hearthstone card game? The Black Mountain, the passage of which will be discussed in detail in this material, is just one example of many. The main gameplay in this project is a battle between players using decks. As is the case with other similar projects, you fight for cards, for rating, for high ranks. However, adventure mode is something completely different. A separate adventure is a thematic set of bosses, each of which has its own deck, its own abilities, and for each of them you will need your own approach. All bosses are connected by a common story, and for each you will receive certain bonuses, including fairly rare and powerful cards. The most popular and interesting adventure in Hearthstone is Black Mountain. The passage of this adventure will be discussed later.
"Black Mountain"
The Hearthstone game, as mentioned earlier, has a wide variety of adventures, each of which is interesting in its own way. However, most gamers agree that Black Mountain is the most outstanding adventure of all. It tells the story of a trip to the mysterious location of the Black Mountain, where you have to meet incredibly strong opponents to get an impressive reward. The adventure consists of five stages, each of which is called a wing. Three bosses will be waiting for you in the first three wings, while there will be four in the fourth. In the fifth wing of the bosses there will again be three, but they will be followed by the main one, having defeated which, you will complete the adventure and receive a well-deserved reward. But it can take you many hours of time, because some bosses are very strong - so much so that you probably have to start over and over again in order to finally develop a winning tactic. Hearthstone makes you think a lot about how to build your deck, and then how to use it in a particular battle.
First wing
Black Mountain maps are pretty strong, so they are a reward to spend your time completing this adventure. Your first opponent will be Koren Khudovar - his special ability is to put one creature from his own and from your decks onto the game table in each turn. You can defeat him by collecting a deck of strong creatures and diluting it with just a few spells. The next boss is Chief Justice Grimstone. He can, having spent only a unit of mana, cause the Spectator on the field with a unit of attack and defense, as well as the ability to provoke. Here you need to rely only on your patience - the battle will be long, but far from the most difficult. The main boss of the first wing is Emperor Taurissan. He has a spell that does 30 damage to you, which, as you know, is very dangerous. Therefore, you need to monitor your health and gradually reduce the health of the Emperor. Only in this way can you overcome it - you may have to start all over again more than once. When Emperor Taurissan is defeated, you will pass to the second wing.
Second wing
So, after passing the first wing, you will already receive some maps of the Black Mountain, which you can use in the future, including for passing the following wings. The first boss of the second wing is Garr, who with the help of magma deals damage to all creatures. The second boss is Baron Geddon, which will be even more difficult to defeat. Always make sure that after the move you do not have mana left, because if you have it, Geddon will cause you damage. Well, the final boss of this wing, Ragnaros, can cause you a lot of difficulties. He always has at hand the ability that deals eight points of damage to any of your creatures. Therefore, you should not rely on powerful creatures in this battle, since you will simply waste mana. As you can see, Black Mountain Peak is not so easy to pass, but the cards you receive for this are pretty impressive, so you have to try.
Third wing
Ascent to Blackrock Peak continues, and in the third wing you will meet with the Leader Omokk, who is far from the worst enemy in this part. It can simply kill your creatures that have incomplete health, so, again, avoid using those creatures that have a lot of health - one unit of damage to them, and the omokk can already remove them from the table. The next boss is General Drakkisat, who is a very interesting opponent who makes the cost of all cards equal to a unit of mana, but prohibits participants from accumulating more than a unit of mana, that is, each turn each player actually uses only one card. Well, the final boss of the wing is Rand Chernoruk. This is the first really complex opponent that can summon a wide variety of creatures - from three weak little dragons to one powerful dragon. Now you can see how challenging the adventures of Hearthstone can be. Black Mountain, however, has not yet ended - you will find two final wings.
Fourth Wing, Part 1
It's time to complete the passage of the adventure "Black Mountain". Hearthstone, whose heroic mode is being considered now, is quite difficult to master the game, so you need to constantly learn, and adventure is an excellent training field. The first boss of the fourth wing is Razor Death the Indomitable. He can call eggs from which dragons are then born, so your task is to get rid of the eggs in time. The second boss is Valestraz, he constantly overwhelms the hand both at you and at home, so you should consider this feature before the fight with him.
Fourth Wing, Part 2
The fourth wing is the longest of all, and the third boss here is not final. Chromaggus is different in that after each of your moves, Dragon Magic will come into your hand, which can seriously ruin the gameplay, so try to get rid of it carefully. If you manage to cope with this boss, then Lord Victor Nefari will be waiting for you. The problem here is that in the first moves, Nefari will have much more mana than you, so you will need to somehow restrain him, and then deal with him as with a standard boss.
Fifth wing
So the Black Mountain adventure is coming to an end. Hyde has already described the passage of four wings, only the fifth remains, which begins with a boss called the Omnitron System. She can activate special creatures - Tronov, and it will be very difficult to fight them, each of the four will need to look for her own approach. The second boss is Maloriac, who will confuse you with the fact that after each call of the creature on the field his attack and defense will change places, so you will need to monitor this and make a moment for the attack. As for the third boss, Atramed, he is strong only due to his weapon, which you will need to break in the first place. Otherwise, it is pretty standard, and if you destroy the weapon, then to deal with the boss himself will not be difficult.
Nefarian
Well, here is the final boss of the adventure - the true form of Victor Nefarius, the dragon Nefarian. Almost every turn he releases one or two powerful monsters on the field, and also has a very strong attack spell across the territory. You also need to stock up on these, because otherwise you cannot win. Clear the battlefield, wait for the moment when you can release your strongest creatures - and head to the victory over the main boss. Gather mana gradually, protecting yourself from strong attacks as necessary, when there are too many enemy creatures - clear the table. Bone creatures summoned by the ability have a powerful attack, but weak defense, so stripping should be fairly successful. And when you have enough mana, start loading the battlefield with powerful creatures that can win a victory for you both in this battle and in the entire adventure.
