Heracleion

Description

Heracleion is the town of Zodias, it contains some NPC's, a stash, a Leaderboard, and some portals to the main zones. Any level of character can visit Heracleion, though it seems that players cannot fully unlock it until completing a Zodias quest. (Carrying my alt through the 1st map did not work)

Main Zones

Main Zones 1 and 3 can be accessed from Heracleion.

Sunken fleet boss — Sunken Fleet Boss - Taa'Nyn

The Sunken Fleet

This is the most popular zone of the 4 main zones.
Easy compared to the others.

Newland star boss — The Newland Star Boss - Bah'Moth

The Newland Star

Bigger than the first map.
Annoying boss and mini-boss.

Abyssal ordeal boss — An Abyssal Ordeal Boss - Aquareth

An Abyssal Ordeal

Bigger than the final map.
Good if you want to farm mobs.

Sanctuary of Secrets

The best map out of the 4, has the most chests, quite small.
Boss can drop L81 Legendary Helms

Zodias Prayer Vault

The Zodias Prayer Vault contains 3 cyclinical bosses, Elite and normal, as well as the Zodias Gauntlet and Arcane Catacombs.

Mecharydon

Arguably the hardest Zodias boss.
Activating the boss fight is cool.

Ekenta

Easiest boss out of the three cyclinical bosses.
The only boss out of the three that can be instantly killed.

Rahabkor

The most popular boss fight (in the game?).
Offers the most gold and some nice loot (Heroic Thariel).

The Zodias Gauntlet

Hard wave-based game-mode wherein only one of each class may enter.

Arcane Catacombs

Awesome challenging dungeon.
Great loot (Immortal Bracelet).
Only available every other Season.

Honor Arena

The Honor Arena is where Arlorians go to test their skill.
Can only be entered if you wear a full set of Arlorian Honor Gear.

Poseidon's Ring

Domination-Style Honor PvP

Tips

Don't try any of the content alone without a Zaarus Set, you'll struggle, a lot.
A Gold Loot Set is perfect for this expansion.
Bosses from the main Zones drop Re-Rollable Damage Elixirs, so try to use Luck & Gold Loot.

Notes

High-quality expansion.
The hype for this expansion was a lot more than its successor, The Elder Woods.

Trivia

"The next chapter in the Arlorian mythos will take us to the briny depths of the eastern sea, to "Heracleion," the hidden citadel of the Zodias: a domed city beneath the waves.

A new continent is discovered on the far side of the eastern sea. Merchants of Arlor, led by the Wind Consortium, amass an enormous fleet of cargo ships, colony vessels, and exploration craft to take advantage of this new treasure-rich land! Unfortunately, the entire fleet is smashed to matchsticks in a sudden and terrifying event... leaving only a handful of survivors to tell the tale.

And what a tale it is! Filled with fearsome sea monsters, mermen, and mechanical horrors!"

The Sunken Fleet

This underwater zone is filled with deadly swarms of 'shredder' fish, formidable 'giant crabs,' toxic 'sea slimes,' and dead sailors covered in seaweed that have been reanimated by Rahabkor's evil magic.

Sea slimes have congealed into a semi-sentient mass called "Taa'nyn" that guards your exit from this dreadful drowning coralscape... and this creature is rumored to drop the most rare (Level 81) Legendary 'ring' items (swallowed when the Kryzelian Jewel Ship was destroyed).

The Newland Star

At the heart of the immense shipwreck that litters the ocean floor lies the 'Newland Star,' a colony vessel once filled with hopeful settlers.

Dreadful 'starfish' mini-boss monsters infest this area, armed with corrosive chemical beams that fly from their stingers. Starfish also possess a telepathic command of 'seaweed' that can trap you, stun you, and set you up to be roasted by that awful beam!

Atop the wreckage of the Newland Star sits "Bah'Moth," the giant sea worm! His stomach is full of drowned colonists and merchant sailors, their bones now driven by Rahabkor's magic, Beware as Bah'Moth may opt to vomit these skeletal monstrosities at your party in-between area poison sprays and deadly smash attacks!

Bah'Moth is rumored to have swallowed a massive collection of necklace items. Perhaps you shall loot one for yourself?

An Abyssal Ordeal

Ages ago when the Zodian people first embraced the deep, the vast 'sunken' temple and its technology was their exclusive domain. Now, under the deadly influence of Rahabkor this area belongs to the ravenous (Zodian-eating) Mermen! These soldiers of Rahabkor, these 'Deep Ones' were once content to simply dominate the Zodian people and consume them at leisure. Things have changed and they are now collecting an army to raze the sea floor and invade the surface!

The Sunken Temple's exit is guarded by "Aquareth," a deep sea water elemental condemned to serve the Deep Ones. Rahabkor's evil magic has driven this creature utterly insane, making his attacks wild and frantic. Command over water allows Aquareth to summon crushing waves of water, skin-peeling water vortices, and a flash flood that fills the entire temple with drowning sea water!

Aquareth is believed to possess a disturbingly vast collection of 'belt' equipment. An obsession. Likely the result of his crippling insanity.

Sanctuary of Secrets

In the nerve-center of the Sunken Temple the Deep Ones 'secret weapon' awaits deployment against the helpless Zodians: "Zaartarax" the Water Dragon. Captured by Rahabkor and consigned to the army of the Deep Ones.

Zaartarax is capable of a wide range of water-based attacks and defensive maneuvers that make him a most powerful weapon indeed!

Land-dwelling loot hunters suspect that Zaartarax possesses myriad Legendary helmet items.

Mecharydon, Ekenta, & Rahabkor

The campaign also features three (3) major bosses that are available for limited times (based on community goals): Ekenta the Merman, Mecharydon the Summoner, and Rahabkor the massive tentacled 'ruler of the abyss' (known to some landlubbers as "The Kraken" of ancient myth... and most likely the reason the mighty Wind Fleet was sunk in seconds)!

Defeating Taa'nyn, Bah'Moth and monsters in the shipwreck zones (The Sunken Fleet, The Newland Star) will bring Mecharydon out of hiding. This shockingly evil Deep One has been killed and resurrected so many times that he's been forced to commit what remains of his scant living tissue to a massive metallic 'shark' body. Indeed this villain embodies 'shark,' in all the terrifying and upsetting ways (and none of the cool ways).

You'll have a chance to loot weapon items from Mecharydon.

Defeating Mermen, Aquareth and Zaartarax in the Sunken Temple zones (An Abyssal Ordeal, Sanctuary of Secrets) will compel the giant ancient merman Ekenta to avenge his fallen comrades. Ekenta, commander of the Deep Ones, is Rahabkor's most trusted lieutenant. He continuously consumes Zodian "sacrifices" that are lowered into his resting chamber in a horrid display of hunger and hatred.

With respect to loot, Ekenta favors armor items.

Rahabkor the Kraken, Ruler of the Abyss, King of the Deep Ones will only emerge after Ekenta and Mecharydon have been defeated a significant number of times. Battling Rahabkor takes teamwork, skill and careful coordination during the fight to survive, yet alone to prevail!

Rahabkor has a chance to drop any category of Legendary equipment (rings, necklaces, belts, armor, weapons and helmets) as well as special vanity items.
