Basics You Need Know to Beat *LAIR OF THE MAD DRAGON* Dungeon! - Neverwinter Module 29

[@SegiShin-wg7dj]

I wont run advanced and master dugeon without video like this from aragon. :D

[@viziozo7183]

Hi Aragon, i like this game. I always play solo because i dont speak english and i learn mechanics with you for do a better work in dungeons. Thank you for your videos explaining

[@mell.7017]

Loving this new dungeon. Especially since you can get gear that is not just dungeon specific but can be used all around. I like how you dont have to need or greed. If you get a drop its by the campfire. Also, the gear is account bound. So, getting items for my alts as I go along is great too. What do you think about the mini bosses? I think they might do something w them like the mini bosses in vos. Gg ty for the vid.

[@HardRockL1L]

Tyvm, Aragon for this to help folks who are looking for mechanics info, tips and pointers! ❤

[@martinusamsterdam7667]

Thanks, man for posting this. Especially Tank pov Ogguk the Beholder.

[@T2RIllusion]

If that can help any group give the dps the 3 stronger companion debuff (armor break, dulled, vulnerability as the tank wont be attacking the main target on boss 1 and 2 most of the time.

[@bombermn5105]

Great video as always!🥳 Any chance on getting a guide in document form as well, like the one you did for ADoM/MDoM?🤔 Both are wonderful tools to pass along to alliance members before training runs, and save us soooo much time having to explain and reexplain things.🙂

[@pudelinocacalat2951]

Oh this is so much needed since the dungeon will be released for everyone

[@blueskydevil7977]

Hey Aragorn, u forgot to show 1 new mech on last boss.. it's a big green orbe of poison will float in the air and try to catch ppl, if she catch a mate, this mate will drop poison on his steps every sec for like 5s so need to move away from team.. the orb is low opacity so hard to c it sometimes 😉

[@chrisbutler718]

Didn't know that, TY! I've run it a tonne of times, camera zoomed right out and field of view set at max, never seen the orb!!

[@whiskeysummons3182]

Thank you Aragon for the helpful guide :). I do have one question, as a dps what would the best companion and Mount be to use on Second boss? . Thank you kindly.

[@kittywampusdrums4963]

Thanks! Should have rhis unlocked tomorrow 👍

[@Trick_415]

The dungeon is fun (besides the cheat glitches) and the gear is actually decent. I will eat a mud pie because I was talking sht about the gear before Tuesday. The advanced is going to trip a lot of people up. The replayability of the dungeon is low though once you complete and get your gear. The dungeon is lacking any crafting reagents to farm which really sucks.

[@davee3128]

What glitches?

[@chrisbutler718]

Another tip I've learned the hard way OP Pally healers should NOT use Banishment At-Will on second boss. Any Dogs affected by the stun mechanic of Banishment are immune to knockback effects. Not sure if this is intended behavior or not, but yea, took us a couple of wipes to figure out what was going on.

[@Aragon-]

Well, just use banishment before the dogs appear and you won't get any dogs

[@chrisbutler718]

@Aragon Finding the damage mitigation check on last boss challenging in Master as a Cleric healer. What strategies can you suggest to help get through it? How often do they come, is there any warning? Finding with most groups I've run with so far (mostly PUGs as I'm GMT+12) by the time the second one hits it's one shotting DPS. By the 3rd or 4th one it's one shotting me too. If there was some warning or timer, could we get the DPS together in one spot and drop Hallowed ground perhaps? Or is it just a case of making Legendary Dragon Protection Scrolls, and Dragon Protection Overloads a requirement for running Master?

[@gabrielvillanueva6187]

Thanks, Aragon, for your hard efforts (you and your team)

[@Aragon-]

thanks :)

[@whitewolf5369]

I play tank and I have a question Aragon. Is it possible to remove debuff at 3rd boss? It stacks and around last 10% hp boss kills me with oneshot attacks. IDK if this is new after patches.

[@Aragon-]

It is not possible

[@chrisbutler718]

No, can't be cleansed (not with Cleanising Light on Cleric at least). You just have to do your damn best to avoid the breath attacks and red areas on ground to avoid the debuffs. Too many of them and there is no way you'll pass the damage mitigation checks at 10%

[@user-kv1ih9lf5e]

The 2nd boss might just be one of the worst boss designs ever released. Wouldn't mind it as much if they made it so the warlocks didn't buff the summoners so that you wouldn't have to waste mounts dailies or artifacts on them and then wait 60 seconds for those to come back.

[@kittywampusdrums4963]

No worries I'm sure they'll patch it, break it, re-patch it, repeat ...

[@user-kv1ih9lf5e]

@kittywampusdrums4963 exactly gonna be the same thing that happened with mic. "Fix" it then have people complain and revert it a week later. The only people who are complaining about it are those trying to gate keep the dungeon or think they're better than everyone else because they spend an extra 20 min doing it legit. I've ran a lot of it already and idc which way they do it, have completed legit and with people dropping adds off the side. Also it'll be a big f you to those that didn't buy out early access since they'll be going into it without the advantage everyone else had who bought it early.

[@magdalenavalentinastegaru8531]

​@user-kv1ih9lf5e We do not believe we are better because we run legit we are factually better.

[@NytLegend]

​@@user-kv1ih9lf5e relax

[@chrisbutler718]

Actually, as a Cleric Healer I think it's one of the BEST boss fight designs in as long as I can remember (perhaps since last boss VOS). I FINALLY have a reason to slot something other than Divine Glow, Healing Word and Bastion. Swapping in Sunburst and throwing dogs off the side is the MOST fun I've had in game in a LONG time. In advanced I won't even bother taking a Wizard, I'll handle it myself. I've had more than a few comments from PUG players who didn't see it coming saying, like 'WTF did you just do, that was AAWWWESOME?!' xD. In Master, I swap out Healing Word for Sunburst at about 10% and help keep the floor clear for the final push at the end. The mechanics you describe of having it save Artis/CDs for Summoners is the WHOLE POINT of that fight, I personally find it refreshing to have another boss fight that not just a straight DPS zerg while the healer sits there with an itchy trigger finger.

[@ethanwilliams7881]

yo aragon could you possibly make a mod 29 class teir list, i would like to know where my characters lie

[@MrNightfoundered]

Thanks, Aragon

[@Npyla]

Is the succubus with the eye important as the imps?Kill asap style?

[@Aragon-]

depends if you look at it. you can turn away and it has no effect. The heal and buffing imps are the priority

[@chrisbutler718]

In the final phases where the floor is littered with Imps it can be hard to spot and turn away from the Succubus, and if it gets the healer, or the tank when the cone tankbuster is coming then its bad news. In the Master runs I've healed so far most teams are going with a priority of Healer Imp -> Succubus -> Fireball Imp

[@zkrings]

Basics You Need Know: #1 Be very patience with lag! lol

[@kitklayton2198]

Off topic but what's the route people are using to kill the commanders in the new area? Everyone was using a route in Menzabranden.

[@toccandocreacanaleulterior176]

There's no ruote you either want to start from top right or from bottom otherwise you just follow whoever is calling things out

[@T2RIllusion]

I believe they shoiuld fix it and make the warlock debuff 25% instead of 40% lol

[@oldschool5317]

Anyone know what the hell is up with kickbacks for no reason? I tanked as a Barb, had block held down, and was kicked back / killed anyway. WTF!?

[@Aragon-]

Don't go too far away from him

[@oldschool5317]

Hmmm.. I was tanking him, right on his face. I don't think I was too far away, but I'll test it. Is there any audible or visual warning? I was just tanking by the ledge, the *blamo* I'm flung far and dead. 🙄

[@oldschool5317]

Man, I wish the devs could come up with challenges that don't involve heights / falling. Playing Neverwinter with acrophobia really sucks.

[@chrisbutler718]

@@oldschool5317 Have seen it a few times. The Block animation issues are causing Pally tanks a few problems. I've tanked Advanced a few times on my Barb and have had the odd time where it's blown right through block, I switched to using Sentinels Slash instead of Block and have had zero issues since. Healing Master I've also observed that with tanks of all classes, that the tankbuster seems to ignore block as well. The tank is clearly blocking, but the tankbuster eats right through their HP and leaves them with full stamina. Fricken challenging as a healer!

[@Nicomancer001]

Are the summoners in the second boss immune to push effects from the CW? I'm worried I might push them away from the melee DPS

[@xCRIBBZ]

They’re immune to repel but not entangling force

[@Nicomancer001]

@@xCRIBBZ Good to know thanks!

[@NytLegend]

No barrels again? Barrels in a tight arena that explodes is the best mechanic in this game

[@T2RIllusion]

to be honest Mtos remain the best recent dungeons they kept making thing easier and more borring after

[@baldgaming6204]

​@@T2RIllusionif this game is boring you can go play elden ring for a challenge 🤷🤷

[@T2RIllusion]

@@baldgaming6204 nah dont think its that great played a bit of darksouls and its mainly just memory game lost interest after doing one. I rather game with cooperation and mechanics. Destiny raid for example are something I find more fun and entertaining.

[@sydclark5581]

I done this dungeon with a random group and it was ubba easy (on normal), bit long tho

[@TheEighthDayofNight]

Is the loot that drops from the bosses bound?

[@xCRIBBZ]

Gear is bound to account, the artifact set is sellable

[@marshallodom1388]

I guess watching this doesn't officially count as a carry, but I'd rather feel like a burden on players at equal footing with me and learn as I go.

[@Barbariandisks]

Rolling around and only spamming cloud of steel isn't the best idea

[@Aragon-]

I did not say to do that xD

[@Iv3y_Lamar]

Garbage debuff on second boss making it pally healer near unplayable without an aoe cleanse

[@chrisbutler718]

Not at all, I don't run cleanse in Master even as a Cleric Healer. If some idiot DPS can't keep their head up the bosses arse, causing the DoT to be dropped then that's on them. In the odd instance where the CC DPS has to step out to get an angle to push dogs off the side it's up to them to dodge the red. They've recently lengthened the time between the red circle appearing on the ground and the DoT dropping, so it's not so hard to dodge anymore.

[@Iv3y_Lamar]

@@chrisbutler718 yea I noticed that now and now more players stick to the boss. Sometimes if I find myself on pally and get debuffed I either tag myself and shield or just die and scroll if I’m lazy. I don’t run cleanse anymore unless I’m on my bard, soulweaver, cleric(only equip if the dps are clueless)

[@re__ng1806]

Last boss a dragon Sigh

[@scottsoares6481]

Copy and paste,simple but playable

[@SeanBotha]

Ruined good dungeon and made it bis only more good content ruined for no reason 18+ bis only mods in a row 18 + mods the player base collapsed. No prizes for guessing why players are not staying

[@kool9174]

Do you always just make the same comment? Ever thought that you might be insane? It very hard to understand what you write and you always write the same shit. It not sane.

[@Aragon-]

How did they ruin it? There was literally no point in playing it, so they removed it. At least now it has some useful items, even if not everyone can get it right now. Improve your skill and capabilities

[@baldgaming6204]

The dungeon is still fun. Don't need good items for a dungeon to be fun. A lot of the good items are from dungeons I don't like. But if a game has triggered you that bad than just move on to another gamr

[@dominiksiebert8779]
