Move

Suggest move to The Underworld, as that's what it's referred to as in-game. --Santax 15:19, 22 March 2007 (EDT)

Done, keeping Underworld as viable redirect. — Gares 15:22, 22 March 2007 (EDT)
Thanks for noticing that Santax. I kept seeing it listed as Underworld when I was at work, but forgetting about it when I got home and could double check to make sure the game called it "The Underworld". --Rainith 17:05, 22 March 2007 (EDT)

Sub-regions

Are all the sub-regions of the Underworld named "The ..."? (I.e. The Ice Wastes) On Smite Crawler, I've added a link to Ice Wastes, but on this page The Ice Wastes seems to be used. Anyone know where we can find more information on the correct names? (GWiki uses Ice Wastes too.) -- CoRrRan (CoRrRan / talk) 21:41, 16 May 2007 (EDT)

The reapers use "the" in their names, but omitting "the" would be gramatically incorrect in that context regardless of whether or not "the" is part of their names. The only way to be sure is to see whether "the" is highlighted in Underworld quest dialogue. -- Gordon Ecker 23:49, 16 May 2007 (EDT)

HM research

Most of these foes don't have confirmed levels for Hard Mode yet. We need to get that sorted. --Santax (talk · contribs) 13:16, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Gwen

maybe adding gwen and sarah interaction?

HoM Statue Reference

Maybe we should make a reference to the fact that u get a statue for completing UW? then same as FoW SF UW Deep

Spawning Pools Reaper Bug

When we cleared the red dots in the Spawning Pools (ALL of them), this reaper failed to spawn. The reaper was marked as cleared in "Restore the Monuments", but we were unable to complete the final quest and subsequently were unable to clear the UW for our Monument or the chest. Full human group, no disconnects prior to clearing the pools. Alex Morningstar 08:51, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Disambiguation needed, "the Underworld (explorable area)" ?

I came here when I looked(read: searched) for info about "Underworld", as accessible by the Tomb of Primeval Kings. I suppose it's something entirely different, as it has its own entry ? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:cp (talk).

Done. -- Gordon Ecker 01:21, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Nerfing

UW keeps getting nerfed, I just noticed now there are 2 Dying nightmares in the beginning portion making in nearly impossible to solo this. can somebody please confirm. General Frisk 01:48, 20 April 2008 (UTC)frisk

im pretty sure the only thing that could have been nerfed would be the drop rate. nightmares do spawn, but a good 600/smite team should be able to still farm fine 64.12.117.74 22:00, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
  • I wish it were only 2... You can get upto 4 spawns in the first room, and total of 6-8 if you include the Labytinth statue (KILL MementoMori 13:39, 22 March 2009 (UTC))

Affiliation

Almost all hostile creatures here belong to Dhuum's Forces, but I can think of no offical name for them. Is there a standarised one used in the community? Backsword 15:42, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Each high-end / elite area has its' own army which all hostile creatures exclusive to that area belong to. The current naming convention is <elite area / region / sub-region name> army. -- Gordon Ecker 20:00, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm aware. What I'm wondering is what we'd call it on the wiki, given that it's preferable to use the same nam in all locations. Would you prefer "The Underworld army"? Backsword 20:12, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Yes, Dhuum's minions are split into several armies depending on region, the ones in the Underworld share an army with all Underworld mobs, the ones in the Domain of Anguish share an army with all Domain of Anguish mobs and the ones in the Realm of Torment probably share an army with whichever demon mobs they're based on (generally torment creatures), so there isn't any single "Dhuum's minions" army. -- Gordon Ecker 20:23, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Hmm, while it's true that later campaigns have added forces belonging to Dhuum lorewise, they seem to be more of emissaries, than a force of their own. The problem with your suggestion, as I see it, is that the underworld is supposed to be Grenths realm, yet this makes it seem like it's official army is againt him. ALso, it's not really an army, with rank and command structure, so army sounds wrong to me. Backsword 10:59, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Noticed that the other side has been set to "Servants of Grenth". Would a parallel make sense? Backsword 02:45, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

River of Souls rubbish

I did a quick bit of research to make sure I wasn't just claiming random falsities here, and the information describing the River of Souls is not to be found in any quest dialogue associated with the Domain of Pain. With that being the case, should it not be removed? Gmr Leon 20:04, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Salvaging Problems?

Is anyone else having problems salvaging here? Every time someone in my group tries, we get disconnected and have to reconnect. Without fail. Each time. --81.159.87.49 09:58, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Nope, havn't had this problem. I pulled a four hour 600/smite clear(at least until I forgot SB in the bone pits) and salavged all my blues and whites with no problems.--Masato 21:42, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Maybe worth adding

I was playing one time with my friend and we brought Gwen to res us because we were testing stuff. Well we Gwen died and he died and i was soloing for awhile and all of a sudden Gwen was alive and i was nowhere near her and had no res. I think Sarah rezzed her but i'm not sure. Anyone else experience this? 75.172.33.134 17:59, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Yeah i had her res before but i never had time to check out who or what did it :) i just presumed it was her mother too. T1Cybernetic 22:50, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
I Know this is resurrecting a dead topic. But I have seen this happen in some other areas too. With other heroes. Dunkoro for instance I have left dead in Th realm of torment, gone off to solo only to find him running up to me later on alive somehow. I wonder how this actually happens.

Nerf Speed Clears

Underworld full clears need a nerf. Parties are able to speedclear the underworld in 11 Minutes! Thats fine and all, but the fact that 7 of them were using the same elite, annoys me. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:76.251.1.36 (talk).

Reaper's Death and Completion

A big problem I have had with this is that a lot of quest complete way before they are actually done combined wiht the individual teleportation combined with the Reaper's death after endchest being spawned still wiping the party. 5 out of the last 6 times I have done UW one or more of the members of the party have left to get reward while the rest of us died (doing Ice King), or gotten chest before the rest and then brought aggro to reaper to kill and prevent the rest of party from collecting. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:99.241.100.122 (talk).

Your problem is no more since this area is now exclusively reserved to terras and perma sins. A gimmick chase away another one... Yseron - 90.15.184.106 14:23, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Problem

I am Ascended in NF after doing Hunted! I am a factions char however, I went to the world with the Favour of the Gods in ToA and I am not even asked to pay. Any thoughts on why I can't get in? 92.11.135.85 15:37, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Non-Nightfall characters cannot ascend through the Hunted! quest; see Ascension for more. --User Brains12 Spiral.png Brains12 \ talk 16:04, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
