In the fantasy MMORPG The Lord of the Rings Online, Update 16 brings a new instance group. It takes place in the city of Osgiliath. The Fellowship is searching for Faramir.
The instances are intended to be a love letter to the old Lord of the Rings Online, as stated by the developers in a dev blog. Players requested it to be “nice and tough,” and that is what they aim to deliver.
There are two instances for 3-players and one for a full group. The instances scale from level 50-100, and they are available at levels 1, 2 and as a challenge. The first level should be achievable by all, they believe: “But on the second level, nothing will be given to you for free.” In the instance cluster, the group looting mode returns.
In the dungeons, players are expected to work their way up from the bottom. The first instance “Sunken Labyrinth” begins in the sewers under Osgiliath. In “the ruined city“, the heroes hunt a stranger in Faramir’s tattered cloak. In “Star Dome“, they face a special Nazgûl, surrounded by an army.
Above all, the secret lies in where Faramir, Boromir’s brother, son of Denethor, has gone. The new instance groups and Update 16 are expected to be released soon.
