Really glad new areas are opening as the old areas have started to get tiring to replay. This new area in the Island Realms is the first new mission on the island. Since this game can get dull without a challenge, I usually play at a major disadvantage. I also always equip a Totem of Regeneration to keep my health up, Corrupt Beacon for long distant and big monster kills and Harvester for close mass kills.
Minecraft Dungeons Island Realms Gameplay
Dingy Jungle Mission
Looks like regular monsters (zombies and skeletons) are covered in poison clouds while most archers shoot poison at you.
This area is populated with plant monsters that block your way and attack you from a distance. The area also is entirely poison driven. You can be shot with poison or an arrow by 70% of enemies you will face and the poison lasts for 5 seconds or so. I find slaying enemies and ocelots (seems messed up doing it) gives a potion called oakwood brew that protects you for a short period of time with oakwood armor that last about 15 seconds.
On main thing to note is that the vines give tons of souls for you equipped items.
There is a huge beast that reminds me of the elves protector in World of Warcraft, but it does act the same way. This monster will leap and jump at you like an actual beast. The beast is super easy to kill with Corrupt Beacon. There is a mag plant creature that scream summons one of the 2 plants of this area in a targeted attack.
The first secret location is located after you start “explore the vine maze”. It is in the center of the vine maze. To second secret location (dungeon) is located in “follow the pass” part of the mission.
Minecraft Dungeons Secret Location – Dingy Jungle
In the Dingy Jungle keep walking until you find a small lit-up entrance in the level. You may not be able to see this until you purchase the DLC update.
Next is the Overgrown Temple and requires you to play at a high level than Dingy Jungle.
Overgrown Temple Mission
This area has the same monsters as the Dingy Jungle Mission.
There is a trap you face while you are exploring the Temple to the Tangle in the Temple. You Get locked in the cove in the far left in the middle of the temple. Then as you continue forward you face 4 enchanted skeleton horseman that really do not attack you but are easy to kill with a long-distance attack like Corrupt Beacon.
Next you go to Behold the Jewel which triggers an ambush. Make sure you have a way to kill the huge monster plant beasts as they come at you in greater number than usual.
Then there is a Room (side dungeon) that comes with an ambush and a chest once you defeat all of the enemies.
There is the same trap you face while you are going to the Temple’s center. It is a little tougher than the first trap as the ambush includes huge monster beast.
To open secret location (the second room (dungeon)) you need to hit the tabs on the left and right side of the second tunnel statue. Then keep moving the statues on the left and right side until the gold plate points the center. Once inside, there are 2 chest you can get. The first is simply gotten by following the tunnel to the end. Then the 2 second one is acquired by hitting a ambush tab in the back on the left side. Once you defeat the ambush a chest will appear.
Boss Battle with Jungle Abomination
It is a huge version of the Jungle Plant Monster. Its main attacks at first are a fist slam that has shockwaves. You also battle the plant mages and jungle plant monsters. It surprisingly has high defense, so it is a long battle of rolling and swiping at the monster. Its second attack is calling plant stalks that hit you from below.
Afterwards there is a little ambush to escape the dungeon. The next mission is not available unless you find the secret location in Dingy Jungle.
