With Runes of Magic's second chapter 'The Elven Prophecy,' publisher Frogster is creating additional dungeons for groups of up to six players in the newly discovered reaches of Taborea. The first challenge is a journey into the secret underwater world. The 'Heart of the Ocean' instance leads adventurers to the bottom of the ocean and into action against sea monsters and the mysterious Naga people.

Located off of the 'Weeping Coast,' the eastern sea reveals its dangerous flora and fauna to players. Fish-like beings have already settled the coastal region and live in harmony with the Naga - powerful reptilian creatures which play a pivotal role in the story of Runes of Magic's second chapter. Giant luminescent jellyfish light up the caves and canyons and players should watch out for their extremely long and highly poisonous tentacles.

Only characters at or above level 50 can make the underwater journey and accept the challenge of 'Heart of the Ocean'. Numerous quests lead through the dungeon, which is ruled by powerful bosses. While a diminutive Naga Queen keeps player groups on the go with her extensive spells, a gigantic crab deals out its own variety of close combat. It is an arduous path right up until the end boss. Once he has been summoned, the end boss has some particularly nasty tricks in his repertoire - the petrified stone statues of past adventurers bear witness to those who have gone up against him unprepared.
