The Mistral Keep

Post by kingpin » Wed Feb 20, 2008 1:54 pm


The Mistral Keep is one of the two end dungeons in first chapter and is located below the cursed church in a village in The Badlands.

The Mistral Keep is focused on give the players a challenge with interesting boss fights and aswell show abit of what to expect in future. While first chapter doesn't include any bosses with complete new ai. you can still make the boss fights interesting by use the most flexibles ai's that blizz coded.

You will find further on in later chapters story focused and progress dungeons.


The Mistral Keep general info
While we wont reveal to much details about The Mistral keep. This is some to expect in it.

* The Mistral Keep is an end dungeon currently balanced around level 25-27.
* The dungeon is 4 levels.
* Each level have boss you need to beat to progress further into the dungeon. The boss drop a key you use to access the next level.
* There is new unique items that is only found inside the dungeon. One of the uniques that you can find inside here is Stone Crusher
* There is new set that you only able to find in this dungeon. One of the new sets you can find is Asylum's Protection set
* There is new runes. One of them is Mi Rune.This rune can only be found inside the dungeon.
* There is new oils that is only dropped inside the mistral keep. Some oils is a help to progress in there as example with Oil of Firefly
* The Dungeon is a progress dungeon. If you doesn't have gears that is good enough for the dungeon. You wont simply progress in it. As, it's difficulty is hard at the level you fight it on.
* New quest chains that involves The Mistral Keep.
* Possible to find a way to get into the secret level (no, it's not MOO FARM we talking about!)
* One of the bosses is a wizard named Archmage Morganus
* Some items is designed to help beat the next boss you up to. An example is Hellstorm's Protector (As a note this ring contain a socket. But, the code to display the socket info is not added yet. So, the ring lack the description for it atm).
* Completely new stat "Reduce sacrifice cost by +X%". An example of an item that use this
* New affixes that is only spawned on items dropped in the dungeon.
* New base item type that only drops inside mistral keep named Mistral Flail

Kingpin, maybe some short 30-sec. video? There is only one that we can watch so far, but I think it wouldn't be a problem to record another one? :mrgreen:

Unless recording a video in Diablo 2 could be potentially troubling I'd rather have the mod then a video of the mod.

and breaks of some months are just "we were developing since project start" ;)
But that Dungeon sounds nice. Why did you decided to just put 2 Dungeons into Chapter 1 and not more?

Thnx :)

To bad game-engine doesn't support that kind of weather to well. Would loved to see a partial water map with that kind of weather.

EDIT:

28/4: Two screenshots added. One that shows one of the set items you can find inside the dungeon and the other a new the mistral keep rune.

Hi Kingpin,

Hope the beta testing is going well. I am slogging away slowly on my 'kitchen sink' mod. I just wish we could go over 255 levels in levels.txt with some stability... :( I am at 230 right now. I would like to TRY to do a WoW size world with more levels and worldspace...

This part is in the preview version. This is the end dungeon of first chapter :)

So, you have access to this already in preview version.
