Yesterday while questing in Shiverpeak Mountains, I came across a dungeon called Sorrow's Embrace. At the entrance there were some people standing and looking for a group. So I asked them if they were doing story mode, since I still had to do story mode of that dungeon. They said yes and invited me in their group. It took a while since we found our last member but he was worth the wait.
So now a quick background story about the dungeon. Sorrow's Embrace is a dungeon in the Shiverpeak Mountains. Long ago, it was the dwarven foundries of Sorrow's Furnace where many dredge were enslaved. Since then, the dredge moletariat has claimed the cavernous area and named it 'Sorrow's Embrace', turning it into an industrious dredge land. Recently, however, the moletariat was infiltrated, bringing great unrest to the area. A dredge named Karamoleoff stands outside the entrance, informing travelers of the situation.
The dungeon has 2 modes: Story and explorable
And to get there, you can fight your way through Tribulation Rift or can sneak in from Heimdahl's Last Stand hugging the cliff face on your right and making a few jumps down.
Now some background about the story mode:
Zojja, pursuing clues of someone misusing her late master's research, has gone into the depths of Sorrow's Embrace, which is now a center of power for the xenophobic dredge. Caithe has convinced Eir to help rescue her, and has asked that a group of heroes come to help.
The heroes find a great dredge army massing in the depths, aided by the asuran technology of the Inquest, and further discover that the asura behind the research is one of Zojja's old rivals, Kudu. The players also discover why Logan and Rytlock are angry at each other, why Zojja is cruel to Eir, and why Destiny's Edge may never be reunited.
The map of Sorrow's Embrace:
So in the story mode there are 4 bosses.
The first one is really easy.
Just kill all the non-elites first, then the asura veteran, then the golem and at the end the Boss.
The 2nd boss is hard for the melee players so your melee should go ranged for this fight.
The boss will now and then throw a lightning bolt that jumps to nearby allies, if you are not spread he will cast it every 10 seconds. If you are spread he will cast it every minute. When he starts spinning, don't hit him with ranged attacks because you will damage yourselves.
The 3rd boss is the hardest boss in the dungeon in my eyes. You have to defeat 4 golems and some of them are pretty nasty!
The 1st golem will now and then throw a lightning bolt at you which damages everything around you, so don't stand near allies. And avoid conditions because this boss will convert the conditions he has on himself to healing.
The 2nd golem was in my eyes the hardest one, it's the Fire Golem! What you have to do here is taking a lot of spells to clear conditions on yourself, since he will burn you like crazy if you don't know how to dodge well. You will see him casting and when the fireball comes at you, dodge that thing, because otherwise you will get a nasty fire dot on yourself. And don't stand in the fire pools which are created by the fireball when it lands.
The 3rd golem this is the Poison Golem. Don't try to melee him, he will have a poison cloud around him almost all the time. When you see him throwing boulders, start dodging it, or use the stairs to lose line of sight, because if you get grabbed he pulls you to him and you'll get a lot of debuff's and damage from him. that's about it for this one.
The 4th golem is just disappointing, he is really easy and shouldn't be a problem.
The Final Boss.
Here is a video of me doing the final boss with my group.
An interesting fact is, as the final boss descends into the lava he gives the party a thumbs up. This is likely a reference to the movie "Terminator 2", when the T-800 is terminated he gives John Connor the thumbs up.
