This run was..Super smooth and pretty damn fast.

6:29-For the first boss, this one isn't that bad really. DON"T kill adds, if you get hit with a red marker kite them as they will go after you, if you have an orange marker stay on the adds since it will then release an AOE that will kill the adds harmlessly. Simple as that.

13:41-Second boss, also not hard. You just need to protect the NPC by walking into the orbs before they reach him. Failure to do so will result in the NPC taking damage and the boss growing bigger/stronger. I imagine only the healer may have issues with this since you probably will have to heal the DPS a lot as the orbs can hurt.

20:59-Last boss, nightmare fuel incarnate. This one also isn't as scary as it looks, you simply dodge all of the AOEs and kill the Grooms To Be/Zombies before they reach the center, failure to do will boost the strength of the boss's next attack, 2=3000 damage for example so letting them slip past is a BAD idea. You need to kill them or else Red Wedding will wipe your party! It's not hard as long as everyone knows what to do though, which we did thanks to our tank!

Wow, this dungeon is a stark contrast to Hullbreaker which was beautiful and upbeat with it's music, this is more of a creepy/tragic dungeon. Why is that exactly? Because it involves the failed adventurers whom the player characters encountered around the first dungeons. Your PC inspired them and....It didn't exactly go well....

Exact plot is:
"When the guiding light of one's life is extinguished, it takes uncommon strength of spirit to clamber out of the black pits of despair. Those who want for resilience may yet be pulled up by a friend's helping hand. But what becomes of a brokenhearted maiden who has neither the strength nor the succor to overcome the darkness that threatens to consume her? The answer shall be revealed through the tragic tale that begins with the arrival of a single letter..."

Sorry I didn't read the notes in the video but, well this was a semi-speed run. Man this place can go real fast if you skip all cutscenes and if everyone already knows what to do. There are no wipes but a certain fight got intense and came down to the wire.

However, if you want to know what the notes say or more about the lore this reddit post is amazing but has spoilers so save it for when you've finished the dungeon:

Love the dungeon though, really atmospheric and well done. It's interesting how these characters weren't just never seen again. Oh and the music is great too! The new dungeons are probably some of the best parts of the 2.3 patch, including that HP bar percentage option too!

Man, even the ending of the questline for this dungeon is...interesting too. I won't spoil it. I may upload it just so you can see, who knows what it means though if there's more to do this plot-line or if that was truly the end...
