Howling Caverns

ReferenceBuilt from the game’s data

Dungeon, levels 15–21, 3 heroes, 6 bosses: abilities, loot and drop chances of every boss.

Beneath the Wildland Steppes breathes a damp labyrinth of caverns, where emerald fungi glow and subterranean waterfalls roar. The sleeping waters have been poisoned by an alien nightmare: the druid-farseer Narallos peered into a wicked dream—and twisted his disciples into hissing serpent-kin. The tunnels wind and tangle, a distant howl echoes through the dark, and the deeper you descend, the thicker the green mist grows. Find the heart of the nightmare, and wake it with your blade.

Enemies between bosses

Before each boss there is a wave of regular enemies. Each of them can drop up to 3 items, 18% per roll; 8% of those are blue. On top of that, every live party member gets materials after each wave by its enemy type — the whole wave is one roll. All the rules — Dungeon materials.
