With the latest Patch 10.2 Guardians of the Dream PTR build, the 10.2 campaign is now available for testing. We played through the campaign to bring all the details. This post focuses on Chapter 5 of the campaign, Eye of Ysera.
WARNING: Patch 10.2 Guardians of the Dream spoilers ahead!
Chapter 5 stars with a troubling report — The Djaradin are laying siege to the Eye of Ysera, the seat of the former aspect's power in the Dream. We head there to check the situation in Eye of Ysera, joined by three green dragons — Lord Itharius, Somnikus and Gerithus, fully recovered from Fyrakk's attack from the 10.1.7 cinematic. As we arrive there, we see one of Igira's generals attacking the seat.
We start by empowering preservers in A New Brute. After we empower the defenses and cause the Djaradin to flee, we check in on Ysera… who is running into issues channeling into the Eye.
Merithra: Mother? Good news. The Eye is stabilized, but--
Merithra:… Mother?
Ysera: It is not… working. Why does it reject me?
As Ysera gains time on the defenses of the area, we check in with one of the owl scouts of the dream, Bodwin. We scout the djaradin in In and Out Scout and disrupt their operations in Disarm Specialist.
After we scout the area, Merithra has an idea on how she could lure Galok, the Djaradin commander, into being entangled in her territory in Good Counsel, including asking Ysera and her allies.
Ysera: Listen closely, Merithra.
Ysera: You no longer need my counsel, daughter… But you are all correct--it is time to act.
Ysera: We need a way to lure Galok here, and I can think of only one. It is risky...
Ysera: I can dispel the shield over the Eye. That will bring our enemies here, and then we can execute your plan.
Lord Itharius: I have already sounded the horn to bring our flight here.
Lord Itharius: On your command, Merithra, I will have them descent on the Djaradin. We will prevail--together!
Somnikus: Merithra is right. Our enemies has shown they can breach our most well-defended strongholds.
Somnikus: I have ralied the druids here to help us. It is time to be proactive--not reactive.
Gerithus: All the suffering that has been endured here… We must act.
Gerithus: I will busy myself conceiving strategies for Lord Itharius and Somnikus. I believe that is where I am most useful.
We then begin preparations for Merithra's plan, starting with planting seeds that will sprout roots that will stun and poison their enemies and disguise wildlife as cubs to pretend for them to be easy prey in Putting Roots Down.
Preparations ready, we ask Ysera to lower the Eye's defenses in Merithra's Gambit. As the barrier lowers, the Djaradin predictably attack the Eye of Ysera. We slay commander Galok and his lieutenants in Triple Threat
