Getting ThereEdit

First time visitors will enter this dungeon during primary quest Heart of the Shiverpeaks.

Repeat visitors (who have completed the primary, non-repeatable quest) enter and complete this dungeon without taking a quest.

NotesEdit

• There are 12 Zombie Brute allies lining the path to Jacado the Putrid that turn hostile as soon as you aggro Jacado.
• There are pillar traps spread throughout the dungeon. These include:
  • Ice Darts
  • Ice Jets
  • Poison Darts
  • Poison Jets
• When Magmus is aggroed, many smaller oozes appear around him; when Magmus dies, even more Magma Blisters will spawn. Careful pulling is recommended so your party doesn't get overwhelmed. Note that several oozes use Ooze Division, further increasing the size of the mob.
• With 304 creatures to kill, including multiple bosses, the first level of this dungeon is a good farming ground for Deldrimor points.
• People often farm dungeon drops in the Heart of the Shiverpeaks, because of the way it can be easily run. The goal here is to run to third level and kill only Cyndr the Mountain Heart, or Magmus and his minions, to get the loot from the dungeon chest. This is often called a "HoS chest run." Note: This run still works, but takes slightly longer after the update on September 27th.
• People with ATI graphics cards may experience errors on the third floor.
