How Difficult Is Each Wizard101 World?

[@hv1237]

Mirage when it released, right before its nerf, was a really nice challenge. Probably one of the most difficult worlds pre-nerf.

[@trevorbrooks7816]

Really nice challenge, or hellscape of set shields... Guess it's a matter of perspective as I go through mirage for the 6th and final time

[@thewindofsuicune]

The world of Celestia acts kind of like a wall for new players. Critical is suddenly introduced and enemy decks are much more dangerous. Its the first world to require players to put thought into the layout of their deck as they won’t be able to breeze through this world like they were able to in the Arc 1 worlds.

[@NinjaMatt55]

i also think wintertusk provides quite a challenge. because i’m on my first wizard im level 56 and man it’s not like it’s hard but i have to kinda make sure i kill when i’m setting up or else i could die especially when having a small deck when trying to optimize to faster battles I am enjoying the game a lot though. As i’m doing wintertusk to get ahead for celestial.

[@_Gabimaru]

Solo storm in celestia without having done grizzle and tusk is a complete nightmare, some bosses are capapable of killing in the first or second round instantly because of critical

[@lanceb1848]

I personally believe celestia or wintertusk are the hardest worlds in the game (depending on which one you do first). If you do wintertusk first; the power spike from DS is insane and ice enemies hit like trucks with their mutate spells and shields. With celestia it’s similar but when you go in after DS, they hit you with 7 pip AOE’s and critical so it really is just like an ayo moment until WW gear.

[@brandonfunke4554]

I watched the old video two days ago but I need more. Can't wait for part 3!

[@scotu9223]

i soloed waterworks on a lvl 68 ice, It was not as difficult as i expected. More around A tier (Bazzar 58+ Full Ice Celestia gear gives you over 50 universal resist)

[@IgnMatthew8487]

as a solo barkingham palace is an S tier harder than Aquila solo

Kaiser as a new fan of your channel I wanna say thank you for the tips and advice I know from a lot of videos myth is underrated or not the best to solo as but I plan on proving as a new player once my laptop comes in myth is the the legendary hero we need

[@Richarrrg]

Am I the only one who struggled against the Earth School Teacher?

[@KaiserNoah]

He’s rough for newer players. I remember struggling against him when I was a kid. Not too hard if you have semi-decent gear and even easier if you have monstrous tcs.

[@cozinhandonosestates7905]

Nope took me at least 5 tries on my storm

[@skunkooo]

when i got to darkmoor my first time, me and this group of randoms were getting absolutely cooked but after a few tries, we communicated strategies and eventually got it, then continued to just get better and better until all 4 of us got to malistaire. some of the most fun I've ever had in the game, phenomenal dungeon

[@dodo2982]

No but I struggled with Krokotopia more than any other world until dragonspyre. I had to beg for help for the dungeons, so hard. And also I had a bad time in moshu because enemies were balance all the time.

[@hannahbun]

I think this is a good tier list in terms of the experience of a veteran player, but it'd look way way different if it were a tier list based on how difficult of a time a brand new player would have. Marleybone is a total breeze now but when I first started playing things like Big Ben and Kensington Park used to feel like nearly insurmountable challenges. I'd definitely put it above Wizard City and Krokotopia in the context of a new player.

[@TheDoubleFantasy_]

love me some wiz tierlists, great vid

[@mr.dr.kaiser4912]

Part of why I think Marleybone and part of Mooshu is so easy is that the second I hit level 30 (which happens pretty early since I do every single side quest), I drop everything and grind the first Aquila dungeon until I have the full Zeus set. That makes the game fairly easy until Celestia.

[@Dr.Succ0]

You should make videos on low level tutorials, like 1-50 in depth stuff… I see no tutorials online of arc 1 stuff it all seems to just be “known”… anyways thanks for helping me get back in the game after 11 years haha

[@KaiserNoah]

I think i have some beginning guides floating around on my channel that might be a bit helpful.

[@BackyardFullOfPigs]

Imo celestia and azteca act as a very similar obstacle where the difficulty just goes up a ton. Not to the same level as azteca but celestia is still a jump from dragonspyre so it’s definitely A tier for me

[@vikinggeorge7007]

You forgot one small thing... Tower of the Helephant, the first fight. It really starts with a bang. But that aside, yes, Wysteria is F tier. Again, that's a level 60 dungeon, and I find it to be even harder than Waterworks. Especially since not many people are doing it.

[@KaiserNoah]

That is a completely optional side quest. I wouldn't consider something completely optional as reflective on the world. Otherwise any worlds with skeleton key bosses would jump a whole tier. Some of em even two or three.

[@braydencox5914]

Me who does all of the side quests Who doesn’t have a 4 pip aoe by the middle of krock

[@stormsrage5384]

I'd like to add, there have been a few times in Celestia where I've been 1-hit by triton and they get a critical and have a blade or I've fainted the enemy or something. A few times where I'm sitting there like "what the."

[@xboxman5ify]

i think lemuria is a bit high. as a fire wizard i was able to 100% solo lemuria with probably only around 10 deaths. most worlds have 1 or 2 really hard bosses or dungeons that are almost impossible to solo, especially for a fire wizard, but you can actually solo the entirety of lemuria pretty easily.

[@KaiserNoah]

not NECESSARILY against your point, but when I made this video I believe it was before they change the final fight and made it easier. If it wasn't then I certainly forgot they made it easier.

[@xboxman5ify]

@@KaiserNoah yea i just played lemuria a couple weeks ago, i have no idea what the fight was like originally but i suspected it was probably nerfed because it was SO easy.

[@surfe.]

Felt the same as a balance wizard, though, I think I died around 15-20 times total, but strategically and I was lazy to heal so I went in half a lot of the time.

[@pearlsbubbletea576]

kaiser noah should make a tierlist of all instance dungeons or atleast the big ones like olympus ironworks xibalba etc

[@sarahtoll8400]

This may be an unpopular opinion but I feel like Khrysalis is actually harder than Azteca. Or possibly very slightly below, but not a full tier below. You’re coming out of Azteca with their ridiculous bosses, gear already failing and enter a world as long as Khrysalis with almost 300 quests. The fact that you have to do half of that world (or more) with failing gear is insane. Even 150 quests is shorter than a lot of the other worlds. I understand once you get Darkmoore gear it’s easier but I have never struggled in Azteca the way I do in Khrys.

[@grayallen8]

Just did Waterworks on nmy life wiz and I got a really good group in team up which made it super easy :)

[@aaronashcaster5875]

New players don’t understand how hard some of the older worlds were in the 2nd into 3rd arch Aztecs-Mirage playing solo before they did patches each time was rough literally halved the health of all mobs and bosses in those worlds

[@etherealityyy]

krok is hard in the sense that you don't have aoe AND enemies get weakness and later on tower shield which makes things even SLOWER (all relatively speaking because they're not much longer of fights but aoe makes things easier)

Hey, I’m new to your channel and I was wondering if there’s any chance you could do a: So you’re getting back into Wizard101 after 5+ years… here’s what to do. Kind of video. I don’t know much about your channel but I saw your video about Wiz burnout so I hear you on that. If you don’t have an idea on how to do that, do you (or someone in the comments) think you could direct to me a similar guide that’s updated? The ones I’ve been seeing are all from 2018 and I know there’s been quite some development since then haha.

[@KaiserNoah]

I dont know any videos in particular so ill just give you some tips. I dont know when you stopped playing but if its over 5 years ago then that would be pre arc 4 and the game has changed a bit since then. First off, gear choices. Dragoon gear isn't really worth farming anymore (and none of the catacombs is worth doing really). Merciless gear in lemuria is good and aeon in novus is even better. Stuff such as guilds and raids are out of my realm, but they have been added and can be fun to join. Beastmoon and Deckatholon are events that can be fun to get some interesting rewards and enjoy a different aspect of the game. PVP is also unknown but i know this meta has seen quite a few spells being banned. Overall, that would be my overview, but if you want my advice i would recommend just questing through the new worlds and enjoying the game. Obviously certain things you may want to touch up on such as the pet meta, but otherwise nothing is really different.

[@simkec2143]

for me as a newer player (sitting in Karamelle rn) that is soloing the game, I've found that Krokotopia and Dragonspyre were extremely difficult from Arc1, Arc2 is a complete blur but Azteca was the most obnoxious world, and personally I would rank Polaris above Khrysalis just for the fact that I think Baba Yaga and The Rat were much more difficult to solo than Khrysalis. I felt that the only hard dungeon was that one dude that aoe hit you every round (cant remember the name) and the Gallery was fun, but Morganthe was super easy and really underwhelming. Keep in mind, I had no idea what I was doing for the first 40-50 levels, had no pet, no gear (mnt olympus) nor did I use TC dmg enchants or TC's in general so that made Arc1 a nightmare.

[@trevorbrooks7816]

For me it's the power spike in enemies and lack of power spike in gear for chrysalis. It came out before darkmoor too so normally you complete it with waterworks gear

[@simkec2143]

@@trevorbrooks7816 I mean you get Darkmoor gear midway through Khyrsalis, but even the first half is okay, sometimes maybe even easier than Azteca, but is just too long. Even Shadow spells which supposed to be a big thing both in the story and the gameplay feels underwhelming because you never actually generate them and you also do not unlock any good shadow spells before level 108.

[@trevorbrooks7816]

@@simkec2143 depends what your level was inquesting, technically chrysalis is only supposed to take you to level 100 so you're supposed to do darkmoor after it. But also you have to remember that the reason Chrysalis feels easy in the beginning is because they literally give you a 50% damage bonus and 25% resist bonus through dyvim, and tons of other bonuses along the way. The main problem is for random reasons certain fights won't have these companions so the difficulty from fight to fight is super variable in chrysalis depending on if you have a companion or not to give you boosted stats

[@trevorbrooks7816]

@@simkec2143 To me the reason they included followers to boost stats in chrysalis was to make up for the fact that you couldn't get gear upgraded from waterworks until the end of chrysalis. Since it's the final world of an arc, it is actually supposed to be more difficult than the last. Cuz the fact that followers stat boost in Polaris are 10% damage (Ivan) when dyvim gave 50 damage and 25 resist just doesn't make sense until you factor in the darkmoor power up

Progress in azteca will always be extremely slow, but if you want my main tip: get potent trap, double feint bosses, and then 7 pip aoe. That should realistically kill most bosses in a single hit. At level 88 in terms of gear, you’d be using full waterworks, along with the wintertusk level 56 ring and athame. I have plenty of guides on these topics if you need more info.

i didnt mention it in the video, but I probably would have put it higher if they hadnt recently made the final fight much more bearable.

[@voiceoftheknight1939]

I think azteca is nowhere near as bad as it used to be. After the critical change it has gotten a lot easier mobs and bosses have less health making it easier to one shot even with water works gear. I think people associate length with difficutly im not saying azteca is easy by any means its one of the most difficult arc 2 worlds but in terms of bosses i think Avalon was harder. The jabberwock, black anne, the entire white owl tower, young morganthe and even the pendragon imo were more difficult than most azteca bosses. Xibalba isnt really that bad anymore and really neither is belloq. Khrysalis suffers the same fate as azteca its 1. The longest world and 2. Part 1 is rough pre darkmoor gear its actually a challenge but once you do darkmoor you will breeze through it
