Subscribe to the BlogIn the new World of Warcraft content patch, patch 3.2 Call of the Crusade, a new 5-man dungeon and 10- and 25-man raid instance will be introduced. Centered in Northeast Icecrown, these arena-style encounters will represent the next tier of PvE progression in Wrath of the Lich King. The Writer's New Clothes - Tier 9, Here I Come
As you may or may not already be aware, another new major content patch for World of Warcraft, patch 3.2, is on the horizon. Within the next couple of months WoW players the world over will be enjoying a heaping load of new content, gear, achievements, bosses, and more.
This new content stems from the Argent Crusade's Tourmanent Grounds sub-lore that has been developing since 3.1. In an effort to reveal the true champions of the Horde and Alliance, the Argent Crusade organized a tournament in Northeast Icecrown. In 3.1 this area opened as a daily quest zone, where players battled with lances on horseback and completed some ethically questionable quests for a team of unscrupulous goblins. Through the plundering of stone from ancient structures and thieving of wood planks for normally-peaceful tree spirits, the actual Coliseum structure will be completed in patch 3.2. This area will be home to six different versions of dungeon.5-man Dungeon - Trial of the Champion
The first type of dungeon content available come 3.2 will be the Trial of the Crusader. An arena-style event (much like the Ring of Blood or Amphitheater of Anguish) in which players will battle three "bosses" to earn iLvl 200 epics, Champion's Seals, and Emblems of Conquest. The first of these "bosses" is a team of champions of the opposing faction (NPCs, of course) that you battle with a lance on horseback. Much like the Argent Tournament Jousting dailies you have the same abilities while mounted - Attack, Shield-Breaker, Charge, and Defend. You will also be able to trample your dismounted enemies preventing them from obtaining a fresh mount.
Once you defeat these three while mounted, they'll come at you in normal combat - You'll then dismount and defeat them quite easily.
The second boss is actually a representative of the Argent Crusade - Either Argent Confessor Paletress or Eadric the Pure. If you end up battling the Confessor, when she gets low on life she'll summon a "memory" of yours, which can be any significant creature that you may (or may not) have battled at a previous time. Unfortunately these summons all have the same set of abilities and do not mirror their originals in any way but appearance.
The third boss is a bit of a surprise - the Black Knight (wait, isn't he dead). He flies in in a grand fashion, dispatches the Silver Covenant rep running the show, and engages you. Once you kill him, he turns into a ghoul. Once you kill the ghoul he turns into a ghost (he's very persistent). Eventually, you'll actually kill him for good (supposedly)and scoop up some nice loot for your efforts.
As the second incarnation of the Crusaders' Coliseum instance, you can set this to Heroic mode and earn iLvl213 epics (Naxx 25, Uld 10 Equivilent) for your slightly greater effort.12next
