Blizzard has given us more information on the Saviors of Uldum solo content, the Tombs of Terror!
- A pre-order is available which gives you a the League of Explorers card back and a random Uldum legendary.
- The first chapter is free with additional chapters coming in at 700 Gold or $7 USD each.
- Buy everything for $15 (after launch) without the pre-order goodies.
- There are four chapters, each with a "Plague Lord" final boss. Those bosses have large amounts of Health.
- Defeating all the chapters unlocks "the finale". No word on what that is... yet.
- Each of the explorers are dual-class heroes, building decks with cards from both classes.
- You'll be able to unlock hero-specific signature treasures as you play through the adventure.
- A favourite from Dalaran Heist, the tavern for deck modifications has returned.
- Twists have also returned.
- You'll earn card packs by completing wings in the adventure (15 packs) and a card back & Golden Classic Pack at the end of Normal.
- Earn a special card back for completing the adventure on Heroic!
- The solo content releases on September 17.
Tombs of Terror Chapter Release Schedule & Pricing
Here is the release schedule for Tombs of Terror.
- September 17 - Chapter 1 & 2
- September 24 - Chapter 3
- October 1 - Chapter 4 & Finale
The pre-order is available for $20 USD which includes all the content. It will be available for less (not sure how much) after it has been released but it will not include the card back or random Uldum legendary card.
Individual chapters can be purchased for 700 gold each or $7 USD. Buying the whole adventure after the pre-order period is only $15 but you don't get the pre-order extras.
Explorer Class Combinations
Each explorer is dual-classed for the Tombs of Terror which means you get to build a deck with both of their classes!
- Reno Jackson - Mage & Rogue
- Elise Starseeker - Druid & Priest
- Brann Bronzebeard - Hunter & Warrior
- Sir Finley - Paladin & Shaman
Plague Lords
Plague Lords are the final bosses of each chapter.
- A high health pool makes them a larger than normal challenge. (Example in video was 300)
- If you aren't able to kill a plague lord, their health will stay the same the next time you fight them, allowing progression over multiple runs.
- The Plague Lords are made up of the Plagues of Uldum. A boss made out of murlocs!
Signature Treasures
In addition to choosing a starting deck and hero power, you'll also get to choose a Signature Treasure.
- Each explorer has their own signature treasure.
- The treasures are unlocked by playing the new content.
- It looks like every hero has 6 signature treasures, with Reno starting off with Reno's Lucky Hat.

My favorite moment is when i won the leroy jenkins tournament
Does the final wing 'unlock' for free then? If so that's pretty good for us who are planning on buying it with Gold. 700G less than expecated.
Five plague spells but only four plague lords...interesting.
There are 4 chapters and these are the 4 final bosses. And then there is the Finale (rogue maybe!?)!
I'm sad that Warlock isn't here. I wanted to do Quest Warlock in solo adventure :/
I already have all the legendaries so will I still get a random one?
Yeah
Yes
Yes. 1 Legendary rule applies as long as you have blanks in your collection. Then, it just gives you random ones from the set. No matter if it's packs or a reward.
Oh, so that explains why Warlock received two meme sets in a row.
That normal mode card back is amazing!
I agree. Imo it looks better than heroic one
So it's 20 dollars for the adventure, a card back and a random legendary. But only 15 dollars for the adventure? You are basically paying 5 dollars for a RANDOM legendary and a card back ?
Why don't they just give 1600 dust so you can choose a legendary yourself? I think that will increase sales because I'm not buying the pre order.
I was thinking the same. I don't complain much about prices having spent way more money on YuGiOh! back in the days than I am spending on HS right now. But still, that sounds expensive...
Warlock be like ''I don't need the League to explore the Tombs of Terror, its the League that needs me!''
Alternatively, Dark Pharaoh Tekahn's flavor text reads :
'' He'll get that League of Explorers and their little murloc too! ''
I really hope that the last expansion this year is blackrock mountain, people meme all the time that: "ItS ThE yEaR oF dRaGoN wHeRe ArE DuH dRaGoNs"
And i know that's just the theme and not the actually roadmap or promise of the expansions but i hope we get dragons.
i wonder if warlock being missing and it being rafaam's class could be related to the fact the last wing is still a secret?
Could be the Lazul betrayal people have been speculating on. Really do hope they do something cool like that, would love to see some more from the Old Gods
Nice, I already have over 2100 gold saved up so I can't wait!
