Dungeon Mechanics

This Dungeon harkens back to base game combat, it is a relatively simple dungeon that is designed to be completed in the early game of the expansion. This means the dungeon does not require advanced tactics, high levels, or complete optimization. Each monster is pulled directly from the associated Slayer Area, and as the player has been forced to fight each of these monsters before, they should be well versed in their dangers.

Intimidation

Just like every other monster in the , each enemy in the Ancient Sanctuary has a passive effect that reduces the player's Damage Reduction. When in combat with Morellia, the player's base damage reduction is reduced by 21%, before any modifiers from the Combat Triangle.

Rewards

Completing this dungeon unlocks Lava Lake and Forsaken Tundra, which unlocks more equipment for Melee and Magic and starts the player's journey through the rest of the expansion.
