School of Dark Magic
Dungeon, levels 58–60, 3 heroes, 12 bosses: abilities, loot and drop chances of every boss.
On a frozen island in the middle of a plagued lake stands an academy where death is taught on a schedule. Green magical light burns in the vaulted halls, tables creak in the anatomy theatres, and vats of immortality alchemy bubble in the cellars. Young necromancers diligently raise the dead under the supervision of the Dark Master, and skulls on the desks listen intently to the lectures. The bell has already rung—the lesson begins with your arrival.
