[edit] Notes
- 1000 Asuran reputation points are awarded for completing this dungeon for the first time in normal mode, and 100 points are awarded for subsequent completions. 1500 Asuran reputation points are awarded for completing this dungeon in hard mode for the first time, and 150 points are awarded for subsequent completions.
- Interactive object
- Upon entering the dungeon, there is a gate to the first level of Heart of the Shiverpeaks that is only open if you have one of the quests Giriff's War or Tekks's War.
- Most mobs in the dungeon are of the same species and come in large numbers so skills which inflict Disease are a good idea. Edge of Extinction is particularly devastating to the large mobs and can greatly speed up dungeon runs
- There are many corpses in this dungeon so bringing a minion master is a good idea.
- Many of the Ophil and Gokir use melee builds.
- Blooming Nettles are monks and spawn Nettle Spores which turn into Nettle Seedlings. It is much easier to kill Blooming Nettles first to prevent being overrun
- You can repeat this dungeon after clearing it, as long as you wait out the 3 minute clock after killing the Dungeon Boss. It will take you back to the gate entrance in Sparkfly Swamp, where you can pick up either quest again.
- During Giriff's War, Ophil are more common than Gokir, Z'him Monns and Gokir Patriarchs will not spawn and some Gokir are allies.
- During Tekks's War, Gokir are more common than Ophil, Khabuus and Ophil Patriarchs will not spawn and some Ophil are allies.
- Because Z'him Monns uses Channeling Magic including the devastating AoE spike Spirit Rift, which can easily kill bunched up henchmen, taking the quest Giriff's War is often easier than Tekks's War
- Two Dwarven Ghosts and four hidden treasures can be found on the first level.
- A boulder trap can be seen on first level on the upper part of the map but it apparently doesn't trigger.
[edit] Trivia
- This dungeon has many references to the online machinima series Red vs. Blue, [1], which is based around the Red Team fighting the Blue Team. The quest npcs and the dungeon boss names are phonetic derivations from those of the Red vs. Blue universe with Tekks being Tex [2] of the Blue team, Khabuus is Caboose [3], Giriff is Grif [4] and Z'him Monns is Simmons [5].
