The world’s biggest WoW streamer Asmongold has been showcasing the beta of WoW Classic since its launch. He constantly faces challenges and completes dungeons. Now he has mastered one of the currently hardest available dungeons – with some difficulties.
This dungeon is about: Asmongold has taken on the Scarlet Halls, an instance in the dungeon hub of the Scarlet Monastery. The instance is intended for level 33-40 and is currently one of the hardest achievable instances in the WoW Classic beta.
In the instance, enemies are between level 35 and 37. The final boss of the instance is the scarlet champion Herod.
The instance is a highlight for Asmongold’s stream. Over 73,000 people watched, almost as many as during his run through the famous Deadmines.
Why is the dungeon actually too hard? The dungeon should not be attempted below level 33, as the enemies are quite strong and have significantly higher levels. This allows them to resist abilities and dodge attacks more easily.
The maximum level that can currently be reached in the WoW Classic beta is level 30. The gear that players can obtain is therefore limited and below the recommended gear for the armory.
Asmongold’s group therefore needed almost two hours on his livestream for the passage. In the process, some gear even broke since Asmongold, as a tank, took a lot of damage. Below we have embedded a slightly edited video.
This is how Asmongold managed the armory anyway
How was the group structured? To conquer the dungeon, Asmongold sought the best players he could find. His group consisted of:
- Asmongold himself, a warrior with tank talents
- A hunter
- A warlock
- A retribution paladin
- A priest healer
In Classic, the specializations are not predetermined, allowing players to choose the talents that are useful for the instance. Especially the paladin with his blessings and lay on hands and the warlock with health and soul stones helped them frequently.
These tricks did Asmongold use: To conquer the instance, Asmongold employed tactics and even used a trick in between:
- Through the warlock’s “Fear”, they kept an enemy in groups always in check
- Asmongold used only certain abilities of his warrior that could best manage rage
- In the middle of the dungeon, they sent the hunter to the city to fetch bread, water, and ammunition
- Through the warlock’s summoning, they could bring the hunter back, which also works in instances during the beta
The final boss Herod was approached by the group with a lengthy tactical discussion, in which they thoroughly reviewed each ability. The fight itself then lasted about 15 minutes.
