Tombs of Terror Information and Strategy Guide
Tombs of Terror is the Solo Adventure accompanying the Saviors of Uldum expansion where you get to play as 1 of 4 League of Explorers members with a new fascinating dual class system and 6 brand new treasures for each, in the familiar Dungeon Run style. The Adventure consists of 5 Chapters, the first 4 of which culminate in fighting a dreadful Plague Lord, who has a persistent health pool between fights, leading to the fifth Chapter dubbed The Finale, which is as of yet a "delightful mystery"...

Adventure Overview:
- Each run you can play as 1 of 4 Explorer Heroes: Reno Jackson, Sir Finley Mrrggllton, Elise Starseeker and Brann Bronzebeard. Unlock the Heroes with different chapters.
- Each Hero is dual class meaning they have cards and Treasures available to them that pertain to 2 classes instead of 1.
- Reno is both Mage and Rogue.
- Sir Finley is both Paladin and Shaman.
- Elise is both Druid and Priest.
- Brann is both Hunter and Warrior.
- You can pick a starting Hero, Treasure, Hero Power and Adventure Deck for each run from the things you have unlocked.
- Each Hero has a Treasure available that is a Junior Minion that further upgrades into a Senior Minion when you have defeated the first 4 chapters.
- Each Chapter in the Adventure has a final boss called a Plague Lord.
- These Plague Lords have persistent Health Pools, meaning that if you bring them down to half health and then die, that on your next run the Plague Lord will start the fight at half health (as opposed to back to full health as ususal).
- The Plague Lords have more tricks up their sleeve, as they change tactics and Hero Powers during the fight as their health goes down, becoming even more deadly!
- There are 78 unique bosses in Tombs of Terror.
- The Tavern mechanic is back, and so is Bob!
- Anomalies and Twists are back too.
Players who brave the Tombs of Terror can earn 3 Saviors of Uldum card packs for completing each chapter and the final encounter—15 Saviors of Uldum card packs in total—an additional golden Classic pack for clearing all four chapters, and unique card backs for finishing the entire Adventure in the normal and Heroic modes.

Story Summary:
The League of E.V.I.L. has brought the hijacked floating citadel of Dalaran to Uldum and let loose several plagues upon the land, which in turn unleashed a host of mighty mythical beings, including the terrible Plague Lords. Thankfully for us Elise Starseeker reunited the League of Explorers and with them we are going to fight evil and save Uldum (and the world) from destruction.
The Heroes:
Every Explorer Hero has a Dual Class ability, meaning they get cards, treasures and Hero Powers that play to the strengths of 2 classes. Every Chapter unlocks a new one (except obviously the Finale). Each Hero has a choice of 6 Treasures and 3 Hero Powers as well as 3 starter decks, listed below for your perusal. For the non Hero-Specific Treasures, check our datamining HERE

Hey guys I have question about first chapter, I played that chapter like 1 year ago but I didn't defeat the plague lord and I don't remember if i received the 3 packs so, Do I have to defeat Plague lord to get the 3 packs ? or I already got them and I'm just Pepega

This is the first time I've ever seen a preorder that costs more then what it would be on release, it's very rare that a company actively discourages their customers from preordering.
I'm guessing the pre-order costs more because it includes a card back and a Legendary minion from SoU.
Although, IMHO, $5 seems like quite a bit for those two "extras".
seems much for these extras but that is still a lot better than 5 for 5 packs, if you're not super lucky.
Can't Wait!
Wow this adventure look amazing, there are lots of RNG
God help the poor Plague Lord that faces a Brann who has Brann's Epic Egg, Spread Shot, and something like Blackwald Pixie...
Or a passive power that refreshes your hero power and makes it cost 0 every time you play an even cost card. The egg itself is even.
The treasures are REALLY cool this time. I like how completing all 4 chapters actually unlocks some cooler treasures.
Now all that is left to hope is that the adventure (especially on Heroic) actually is FUN to play and not frustrating af..
Are you telling me you don't unlock Finley on the murloc wing?
lol
I suspect that's replaced by a number when it's actually in the game, and this is just a tiny look at how that works on cards behind the scenes. :)
