(basic idea) Viking Temple: Temple to the Norse gods. Found entrenched in the side of the highland slopes, contains frozen chests. (the drawing is crude, just a general idea) Overall view of the biome (basic drawing) Based upon RandomFox's statement, here is ButterBuns' suggestion: Viking raids. They happened IRL, Norsemen would launch raids upon small villages, loot, burn, slaughter. This would fit perfectly in here. Requirement: 1. Player with 400 health on the server 2. No raid in the last week (every week has a base 40% chance of happening) 3. Shrine to Odin has not been destroyed Mobs: Viking Berserker: 150 health 15 armor 60 damage (on contact) Passive skill: Rend: 10% chance to apply on a successful hit, reduces armor value by 15 Skill: Charge!: +25% movement speed, immune to knockback for 10 seconds Drops: (100% chance, 5 silver/100% chance, 1-3 Ice Shards) Viking Hunter: 120 health 15 armor 20 damage (on contact) 30 damage (arrow, cannot be deflected by swords, but be dodged) Passive Skill: Snare: -20% movement speed on hit, 30% chance of applying Drops: (100% chance, 5-10 wooden arrows/100% chance, 5-10 silver/ 100% chance 1-3 ice Shards) Viking Shaman: 100 health 10 armor 40 damage ( iceball, like goblin shamans/fire imps) Skill: Summon wolf: Summons wolf, up to 1 wolf maximum per shaman Drops: (100% chance, 5-10 silver/0.5% chance, Ice Hurl) Wolf stats: 120 health 5 armor 50 damage (on contact) Passive skill: Torn throat: 10 damage every 2 seconds for 10 seconds (ignores armor, 30% chance to apply upon damage) Drops: Nothing Now, you have defeated this raid once. What if you do not want this to happen anymore? Well, you have to raid the viking temple. As seen on page 1, the temple will lie somewhere on the mountain, you have to find it. You can hack 'n' slash your way through hordes of bloodlusty vikings 'til you find the "Shrine to Odin" somewhere in the middle of the viking temple, not too far in though, as these mobs are tough. Then, you have the option to destroy the shrine. If you do so, all mobs in the temple stop spawning. You have seven days to prepare your town for an assault, the vikings strike back. On the seventh dawn, you get a message foretelling the assault. Mobs: Same as on the normal invasion, plus a boss: Berkthgar Berkthgar: 3000 health 15 armor 60 damage ( on contact) 50 damage (He throws his axe, cannot be deflected, only dodged) Skill: Frenzied Charge: +30% fun speed, +10 contact damage, lasts 10 seconds Skill: Cleave: AoE around him that hits 10 tiles around him, 3 seconds induction, he strikes twice, each hit dealing a 5 tile knockback and 50 damage Passive Skill: Frenzy: 20% chance for a 10 tile knockback upon contact damage Drops: (100% chance, 5-10 gold/Crusher (currently named Thor's Hammer)) Berkthgar will be 5 tiles tall, 3 wide. He will spawn when 50 of the 100 mobs of this last invasion are defeated. The reason for his low health is that if he took too long to kill, you'd just get mashed up from fighting other mobs as well as him at a time. Once he is slain the invasion stops, and the rest of the mobs on the screen just charge you, and have 200% damage. Once they are dead the invasion is finished, and the vikings are gone. You still have the option to rebuild the shrine though, once you've rebuilt it mobs start spawning again, and invasions can happen again. Ice Dragon section : All Ice Dragon content is unlocked in hardcore idea by Keirndmo Name:Ice dragonling. HP:200 Damage:35 Armor:20 Drops:1-5 gold. Icy scales.

Some of my favorite ideas people suggested for this thread listed here: Santagria 1)I posted in one of the other "arctic biome" threads, figured I'd throw my idea in here since the highlands biome is similar. (and a cooler sounding name too) I was thinking that during a snowstorm / blizzard, unless you have a fur outfit / fur vanity set (or maybe just a single item "fur pelt" accessory), you would slowly lose health due to the cold. So your character has to actually be properly outfitted to go higher and deeper into the cold. Think of it like the obsidian skull, but for extreme cold. The damage should be slow though, without knockback, but more like a really slow draining of your health. This way, you first priority when enterting the biome would be to hunt some moose or timber wolfs for fur, so you can craft the fur pelt accessory before a snow storm hits.did you know Jake the dog and Marcus from gw have the same voice actor Another idea that sorta goes along with the above; if the player hasn't been lucky enough to hunt a moose or some other furry animals... you can actually craft another new item: the campfire. Using a lot of wood, some torches, and gels, you can craft a camp fire, that lights up a whole lot of the screen, and acts as protection from the cold (so within a certain range, your health doesn't drain). It would also act as protection against enemies too, which would stay out of reach of the fire and heat. (or maybe it would only repel certain ice-based enemies, such as ice bats or ice giants, which obviously don't want to be near heat) This way the highland biome requires a different strategy to play through, with the player setting up multiple camps along the way to act as pockets of safety, warmth and light. I think this adds more depth to the game-play, as well having the new items you need to craft for this biome, not be too difficult to craft or obtain. you could enter unprepared, but unlike other difficult biomes, you could slowly work your way through the very first time. Maybe have the campfires only require 15 wood, 5 torches, 5 gels. And have the fur pelt accessory be crafted from 5 furs. If you're not sold on the idea, 1 screen of pixel art showing your character next to a campfire in the middle of a snowstorm, with great big pine trees in the back, and wolves hanging around the edge of the screen howling in the night might help. ALSO, also: fur pelt could halve ALL damage received from ice magic attacks, making it a worthwhile accessory to keep for end game, and the dungeon (if they happen to add new magic attacks) As for everything already in this thread, just incredible, the mountain look to it, with indoor and outdoor areas is great. Like having another dungeon area, but above ground. Concept for entering the highlands This system would allow more room for future biomes.(idea by Arroz2003) password for server: holopop
they are thinking about adding new biomes, maybe thisll be one of them. this is a great idea. this needs ALOT of attention. its a great idea and i support it.
The frost lance seems a bit too powerful, If you use the flail staying next to someone, you can permanently stun them. =( Blizzard staff seems underpowered
perhaps and how much damage do you think the blizzard staff should do its a spray so it might be over powered if it does to much damage and i may lower the damage of the spear to 30 positive feedback?lol
70,000 is a bit too high. If it were 7000 or 10000 I would agree for it being a boss, as low health enemies really dont make sense with a 70k HP boss...
I think it should snow and double creature spawn rate the boss should look something like that the green stuff is moss im working on a better version i made the 1st prototype for the boss petty cool huh just imagine that attacking you in terraria
