Galakrond's Awakening Adventure - Chapter 2 Guide
Today is the release of the Galakrond's Awakening Adventure Chapter 2 and we have gathered all the info you need!
What is Galakrond's Awakening?
Galakrond's Awakening is a solo adventure in the classic Adventure style, where you can play through the story with pre-made decks and unlock collectible cards on normal mode and play through with self made decks on Heroic for some Card Backs. The goal is to defeat the given PvE Encounters in a Chapter. Each Chapter typically has 3 Encounters for the Good side of the League of Explorers and 3 encounters for the E.V.I.L. side with the League of E.V.I.L., with both sides giving collectible cards as rewards with 2 cards for the end fight.
What Time does the Adventure Release?
How do I unlock the Chapters?
The Chapters unlock individually for 700 in-game gold (or €6.99 EUR/$6.99 USD) or all Chapters at once in a €19.99 EUR/$19.99 USD launch bundle. You will still have to wait for Blizzard to release the Chapters to play them however! Chapter 2 opens today.
What are the Rewards?
Playing through the Adventure will allow you to unlock 35 collectible cards, as well as 2 card backs for finishing the Adventure on both sides of the story on Heroic. If you get the Pre-Purchase Bundle, you also get a Golden Classic pack. Today's Chapter 2 will allow you to unlock 8 cards, shown below.
What can you expect?
This second chapter is called "Clash at Wyrmrest" and can be played through on both Good (Explorers) and E.V.I.L. side, where the E.V.I.L. side will grant 4 cards total for completing and Good will grant 4 cards too.
On the E.V.I.L. side there are 3 fights: First against Dragoncaster Askaara, then against United Sr. Explorers and lastly against Nithogg.
On the Good side there are 3 fights: First against Madame Lazul, then against Cultist Dawnshatter and lastly against Hagahtha the Vengeful.

Heroic Decks
You can find Decks to beat specific Heroic bosses uploaded on our site, visible in the widget on the front page or if you search the decks and select "Deck Type" as "PvE Adventure" in the Additional Filters or by using this link!
Creating Decks for Heroic
If you are playing Heroic and have a great deck for a certain Boss, then please, upload it using our Deckbuilder.
Simply make the deck like you normally would, then instead of "Ranked Deck" pick "PvE Adventure" from the drop down and under the "Boss" drop down, select which boss the deck is for. Write a description on how to use the deck for a better chance at those sweet, sweet upvotes. The community thanks you in helping them beat this Adventure and getting the cool Card Backs.
We put some images below to show where the drop downs are!

can you craft these cards without buying the expansion?
No you can’t
You'll be able to craft them after they rotate to Wild. So it'll be a while if you don't want to buy the Adventure.
I’m looking forward to trying my Even Phaoris Shaman in Wild no matter what, maybe even with a Medivh tossed in for good measure.
Nah, you have a point. I kind of forgot that Quest Shaman is still a possible thing with new cards. I haven't seen a non-Galakrond Quest Shaman in ages, but they are still out there, lurking, waiting to pounce again if the meta allows.
I'll be honest I kind of hope it doesn't. Kind of had my fill of Quest Shaman.
Will we get bonus cards this time?
No, the set up for the adventure was 4 cards for each side in each chapter ( so 8 cards total). Do that for 4 Chapters and you have 32 cards. Add 3 bonus cards which we got last week = 35, which is the total number of cards in the adventure.
Alright, thank you.
I like this kind of weekly release. It keeps refreshing the meta. Let's see how the new cards shake the current meta (mainly composed by Wall Druid, Galakrond Rogue and Beast Hunter).
Make or break week for Shaman. They have their class cards after this week.
Not necessarily.
While Shaman gets their other two cards this week, the legendaries interacting with Quests and Lackeys come out later, both could be significant for Shaman, and it is more important of what works when the meta is established after all the cards are released, and not what works for now.
For example, Fist of Raiden might be pretty terrible right now because it's too greedy, but if, for some reason, greedy decks would be better once all cards are released (unlikely, but for the sake of the argument), then Shaman could find itself in a better position even without new cards.
Yes, I'm pedantic. ;)
