Neverwinter: Elemental Evil will raise the maximum level attainable by players to 70. With this new level cap will come reworked versions of Cragmire Crypts, Grey Wolf Den, and Temple of the Spider that will pose a much bigger threat to adventuring parties. With this in mind, we wanted to clue our community into how best to defeat the horrors that lurk within these dungeons.

Gray Wolf Den

Gray Wolf Den presents an interesting obstacle to adventurers wanting to conquer its umbrous passages. Lycanthropes abound and while they may seem weak in human form, they more than make up for it once they’ve transformed into werewolves.

The first boss you’ll come across is Redgar Thunderfist. Guarded by two lesser lycanthropes, you’ll need to separate them if you are to have any hope of victory. Using your controllers, lure Redgar’s minions away from him. While Redgar is alone, keep your tank focused on him and attack him with your damage dealing party members. Redgar can hit hard, but without his minions to back him up…he’s just a one man wolf pack.

Next, you’ll encounter Packmaster Zayev. Much like the first fight, you’ll want to focus on separating the Packmaster from the minions with your controllers and tank. In this instance though, have your damage-dealing allies alternate between focusing their efforts on the boss’ minions and the boss himself.

Finally, you’ll encounter the lycanthropes’ matriarch herself: Ethraniev Marrowslake. Marrowslake will summon her shadow wolves based on how many players (or companions) she hits with her melee sword swing. For this fight, you will need to always be moving. Between Marrowslake’s melee attacks, her AoE Shadow Hand Spell, and her Shadow Wolves, standing still is a death sentence. Have your damage dealers focus primarily on Marrowslake, but turn and deal with any Shadow Wolves that get summoned. Marrowslake’s powerful shadow hand attack is capable of killing players in one hit, so be sure to avoid placing any AoE buffs in or near them.

The Neverwinter team couldn’t be more excited to release these new, challenging dungeons for our epic-level players. If you have some more dungeon strategies, be sure to let us know on the Neverwinter forums.
