To her, the waking life is an abomination, the nightmare and its endless disturbed sleep being the natural order. She is corruption incarnate, her mind twisted to the Nightmare’s ideals. To give an example, you begin your journey into the depths of the Nightmare with the dragoness Nythendra, now a consumed husk with a swarm of insects for skin.
Each of them was once a proud defender of Azeroth, now consumed by the corruption and trapped in a personal hell, or aware but incapable of stopping themselves. The Emerald Nightmare is a place of madness and the bosses, the first set for World of Warcraft: Legion, reinforce this idea.
The giant teddy bear, Ursoc, didn’t make it past week one either! The more twisted areas bring out elements commonly associated with the Old Gods, such as faceless abominations, giant tentacles and mutated creatures. From the Emerald Dream’s pathways, which all Druids see on their way to the Order Hall, to various natural areas across Azeroth, the lush green takes on a crimson colour, with dark veins, putrid insects and patches of dead earth. It has a wonderful visual style, showing you a dark reflection of the natural beauty of the world. On Normal mode though, we cleared the entire place-particularly because the challenge difference between the two difficulty modes is massive-though the difficult difference is so staggering that even these two monsters were trivial. Nythendra fell during the first night!Ĭenarius and Xavius are on another level entirely, with Cenarius reportedly being the harder of the two and I say reportedly because we’ve only had one kill attempt on the first of the two. For The Emerald Nightmare though, by the end of the second week we only had the last two of seven to defeat and clear the raid, but their complexity and overall difficulty spike considerably, at least when you compare them to those that stand in the way to them. When we raid, we have a simple goal: 1 new boss downed every week. The expansion itself, in its druid Order Hall showed me the Emerald Dream and this raid gave me the Nightmare. After reading the novel Stormrage and many other pieces of lore, I wanted to see the Emerald Dream for myself, as well as the corruption that taints it. In World of Warcraft: Legion, the first raid is the Emerald Nightmare, a place that I’ve wanted to visit and play in for years. And considering the Raid Season just started, I’m not likely to go back to it anytime soon!Įvery expansion in World of Warcraft has one or more Raid Tiers, with an introductory raid early in the expansion’s lifetime to train newer players in what raiding is like and introduce new and old to some of the new boss mechanics that will surely become a staple of the expansion. I’ve been enjoying the new World of Warcraft Expansion, the main reason I haven’t returned to Overwatch.
