Bifrost

[GM-Ciar]

Today, the residents of Splendide reported strange events happening at The Bifrost north of the town, and allowed access to heroes who volunteered to assist in the investigation. After a short journey the heroes reached a maze forest, where they found the guardian of Yggdrasil being tormented by two mysterious beings.

One was revealed to be a shadow of Surtur, attempting to influence the dragon to destroy The Bifrost, and the other being was Kushiel's Will, which had his own plans for the dragon. While still trapped within Yggdrasil's Roots, Kushiel managed to use his powers to reach the dragon and wanted to control it to free himself.

The heroes defeated the two shadows, but the guardian of Yggdrasil had already gone berserk and attacked the heroes. It eventually fled upon defeat, and everything seemed to return to peace again in the new world. However, with the power to appear in Yggdrasil, both Kushiel and Surtur can cause great harm, so they might return to torment the lost dragon at any moment.

There's a new area to explore! Bifrost Fields are now accessible to all players, just head north from Splendide!

The Hazy Maze forest is also accessible from Bifrost Field 01 and 02. It's not an instance for the time being, so any amount of players can enter. Mora village is also accessible from 3 corners of the second bifrost field, or from the Cat Hand NPCs.

The field and dungeon's mobs are best suited for parties of at least 2 averagely geared level 80 players. They are anti-magic and don't respond well to ranged attacks, so melee classes will shine here, provided they carry a wind armor!

The MVP itself is idle, but its followers are aggressive. Kushiel's Will is a ranged attacker and uses mainly magic skills, while Whispers of Surtur is a melee attacker and uses physical skills. Each has a moderately powerful skill that may wipe a party, at the cost of having a slow cast time and being interruptable. Both have many AoE skills casted at random targets so everyone in the battle against the dragon should be adequately geared.

While both slaves are alive, the MVP is completely immune to all attacks. Both slaves must be defeated in order to be able to finish off the boss. The dragon itself doesn't have a huge variety of deadly skills, so once the slaves are dead, the rest of the fight is relatively smoother sailing. However, if the party somehow wipes or the MVP goes idle, the Lost Dragon will attempt to summon its followers and become immune again, so caution is advised!
