Mount Kreth is a desolate, windswept mountain located on the Island of the Utraeans in Dungeon Siege: Legends of Aranna. It serves as the penultimate area in the expansion's main storyline, leading to the Great Clock, a powerful Utraean artifact capable of controlling the island's weather.
Geography[]
The mountain is characterized by its barren, rocky terrain, with sparse vegetation consisting mainly of dead trees and bushes. Goblin-engineered metal bridges crisscross the landscape, creating a labyrinthine path to the summit. The air is thick with pollution from metal pipes emitting strange gases, and the weather is highly volatile, shifting rapidly between blizzards and lightning storms.
Inhabitants[]
Mount Kreth is teeming with hostile creatures, including:
- Mountain Trolls: Massive, brutish beings that attack with overwhelming strength.
- Mountain Phraks: Swarming insect-like creatures that overwhelm with numbers.
- Troll Mashers: Larger and more formidable trolls that pose significant threats to adventurers.
Notable Locations[]
- Great Clock: An ancient Utraean device capable of manipulating the island's climate. It is the final destination in the main questline, where players confront the antagonist, the Shadowjumper.
Quests[]
- Crystal Guardians: Players must defeat four elemental guardians to gain access to Mount Kreth.
- The Countdown: The final quest where players confront the Shadowjumper at the Great Clock to prevent the island's destruction.
Trivia[]
- The volatile weather on Mount Kreth is a direct result of the Shadowjumper's tampering with the Great Clock.
- The goblin structures and machinery indicate a significant goblin presence and their attempts to harness the mountain's power.
