In the upcoming patch, players of WoW will once again be able to bite their teeth. The bosses in Operation: Mechagon will receive a particularly difficult mode.
Currently, the Patch 8.2 Azshara’s Ascendance is on the PTR of World of Warcraft. Most of the content is already known and has been extensively tested, yet players continue to discover new secrets and clues to puzzles. Now, some players have managed to unlock a particularly difficult “Hardmode” in the upcoming megadungeon “Operation: Mechagon”.
Operation Mechagon is a so-called megadungeon, as it contains more bosses than usual and takes more time to complete. There are a total of 8 bosses to defeat, and a Hardmode has been found for the first 4, which makes the battles harder.
This is how to activate the Hardmode of the first bosses: To activate the harder mode of the first bosses, you must defeat them in a specific order. For this, it is necessary to look at the map and always go to the boss who is currently accompanied by the “Flying Suppression Unit JK-8”. When starting these battles, the suppression unit assists and distributes additional enemies, which gradually envelop the entire combat area with electric fields that deal significant damage.
If you have done this, the 4th boss will be replaced. You will no longer face the Tank Buster MK1 but instead the improved MK2 version. This version has more health points and deals more damage. Additionally, the summoned adds in the fight are now faster, making them a bigger problem.
Things get really tricky in the next phase of the fight. There is a gauntlet where players must pass a path without being detected by robots. Normally, it is sufficient for one player to complete the path and operate the console at the end. In “Hardmode”, however, all players are immediately teleported back to the beginning if even a single player fails.
This video shows how it works correctly:
Hardmodes like in Wrath of the Lich King: Overall, this strongly reminds one of Ulduar. Hardmodes were also hidden for some bosses there. For example, one had to kill the heart of an enemy particularly quickly or activate a special switch that made the fights more difficult. Players suspect that the later bosses in the dungeon also have a Hardmode that has not yet been discovered.
What does the Hardmode bring? What kind of reward is given when defeating all bosses in Hardmode is still not entirely clear. However, in the past, there was a hint that at least one of the new essences of the Heart of Azeroth can only be obtained through Hardmode.
Are you excited about dungeons with an additional Hardmode? Or is it enough that there are different difficulty levels like “heroic” or “mythic”?
