Dive in and dominate this iconic dungeon on mobile!
In Dire Maul, you’ll face down three familiar faces from the classic World of Warcraft dungeon: Stomper Kreeg, Immol’thar, and King Gordok. Each of these bosses has their own gimmick, and you’ll need a slightly different strategy for each of them. Thankfully, we’re here to help.
In this Warcraft Rumble guide, we’ll show you how to beat the Dire Maul dungeon and offer some advice on each of the dungeon’s three bosses.
How to beat Stomper Kreeg in Warcraft Rumble
To beat Stomper Kreeg in Warcraft Rumble’s Dire Maul dungeon, focus on using ranged units to engage his forces from a distance. Kreeg’s minis will enter a berserk state and attack anything nearby, including their own allies, when damaged below 70% health. By strategically wounding his units, you can cause them to fight each other, weakening his army. Start by quickly capturing one tower, usually the right lane, then push towards the boss while controlling the other tower. Utilize spells like Execute to trigger the berserk effect and area damage to maximize chaos among his forces. Building a strong, concentrated push with your army in one location helps overwhelm Kreeg’s troops and secure victory efficiently.
Stomper Kreeg is a simple two-lane fight with a boss that does serious area damage. The strategy here is to run your units right and take that tower as quickly as possible. Then you want to run your units left to take the second tower. Clear out Stomper Kreeg’s troops with area damage or aerial units while you’re getting set up. Once you have both turrets, Kreeg is toast. Just use an even split of tanks supported with damage on either side and you’ll burn him down fast.
Horde tips: During Horde week, you should try and take advantage of Bat Rider’s burning and aerial damage. Paired with a beefy tank like the Stonehoof Tauren, you can take out most of Kreeg’s army quickly. The Execute spell is also excellent here.
How to beat Immol’thar in Warcraft Rumble
To beat Immol’thar in Warcraft Rumble’s Dire Maul dungeon, a few effective strategies stand out. One approach is to send a Plague Farmer with the Splashing Pumpkins talent up the left lane to attack from range, allowing it to potentially solo Immol’thar if left uncontested. Alternatively, deploying one or two Fire Elementals to the left lane and protecting them can tank and defeat Immol’thar efficiently. Supporting these tactics with Defias Bandits to summon Eye bombs helps defend against Immol’thar’s Eyes of the Void. Additionally, using resistant tanks like Quilboar or Frostwolf Shaman alongside ranged damage dealers such as Harpies can distract and chip away at the boss. Positioning and managing your units to handle the Eyes’ explosions is crucial, as they can damage both friend and foe. Overall, combining ranged DPS, tanking units, and strategic use of summoned bombs provides a reliable way to overcome Immol’thar.
Immol’thar is quite a bit more interesting than Kreeg. This dog-beast scatters little eye bombs around the arena, which can explode on your units and deal damage. You can try to avoid these by going different routes, or you can just send a sacrificial unit to take the damage before the rest of your army. You can take advantage of the Summoning Stone on the left for some quick hits on Immol’thar, but we recommend you take out the tower to the right first and spawn from there, as it’s easy to lose a Summoning Stone to Immol’thar’s speedy and cheap Beast units.
Horde tips: Immol’thar uses Banshees, which means it can turn one of your units against you on occasion. This means you need to send larger groups to attack instead of single units, so tanks are either forced to go against multiple damage dealers or fight another tank. Because of the large groups of Beast minions, Execute is excellent for this fight as well.
How to beat King Gordok in Warcraft Rumble
To beat King Gordok in Warcraft Rumble’s Dire Maul dungeon, start by capturing the middle Siege Tower to gain a strategic advantage. Then, send a Fire Elemental to the right lane to recruit Lethtendris to your army, supported by ranged DPS units. Optionally, deploy a lone Plague Farmer to the left lane to bring Kromcrush into your forces, ensuring the right lane push reaches the boss first. During the fight, slow King Gordok so the Fire Elemental can tank him effectively while Plague Farmers deal poison damage to counter his healing. You can also target the healer with Executes and support with pushes from the left or Whelp Eggs to finish the fight efficiently.
King Gordok is the most fun fight in the bunch. There are three lanes in the Gordok fight: a middle lane with a tower, a left lane with an ogre boss, and a right lane with a mage boss. If you defeat these boss lieutenants, they’ll take a brief break and then regain their health to join you in the fight against King Gordok. However, if Gordok beats these allies back into submission, they’ll turn on you again. Because you can never kill these enemies, this fight is a constant state of push and pull – unless you ignore the lieutenants and run it up the middle, which is doable at lower levels. Finally, if you let King Gordok return to his starting position and stop dealing damage to him, he’ll start to regain all his health, so you have to keep up the pressure no matter what.
Start by taking on the ogre to your left and then take on the mage to your right. While Gordok is distracted with defending himself, take the turret in the middle. Once you have the turret, the fight is basically over. Just keep sending units down the middle and even if the lieutenants die you’ll knock them out again and they’ll swap sides.
Horde tips: Just like the previous fights, the Stonehoof Tauren and Bat Rider are going to do wonders here. Both are capable of taking the lieutenants out as a pair, allowing you to focus your more powerful units on the central lane.
What secret strategies can help me conquer Dire Maul easily
To conquer Dire Maul easily in Warcraft Rumble, consider these secret strategies:
-
Use strong ranged attackers like Huntress, Frostwolf Shaman, or Darkspear Troll in your army for the first two wings to maximize damage output from a distance.
-
Prioritize recruiting one of King Gordok’s lieutenants by reducing them to 10% health. They will regenerate and join your army, providing crucial support to help secure victory.
-
After recruiting a lieutenant, make a hard push to capture the opposing tower in the center lane to establish a forward deploy point, then reinforce your army from there.
-
Select relics that synergize broadly with your minis, especially those affecting multiple units or situations, to get the most value from your build.
-
For the first map, use environmental tactics such as damaging whelp eggs to make them kill each other and manipulate harpies with Quillboar to control enemy positioning.
-
Employ reset spots and strategic positioning to avoid unnecessary aggro, such as using ledges or invisibility potions to bypass or reset patrols, saving time and resources.
These strategies combine tactical unit choices, smart recruitment, and map control to simplify the dungeon’s challenges and improve your chances of success.
How can I use environmental resets to my advantage in Dire Maul
In Dire Maul, environmental resets can be leveraged to your advantage by using specific map features and enemy behaviors to avoid unnecessary fights and regain control. For example, you can use ledges or terrain chokepoints to pull enemies away or reset their aggro, allowing you to retreat and heal or reposition safely. Additionally, invisibility potions or stealth abilities can help bypass patrols or reset enemy engagement, preventing prolonged battles that drain your resources. These tactics let you conserve your army’s strength and strategically pick your fights, making the dungeon easier to manage and increasing your chances of success.
