On Epic it can get pretty challenging but it is doable even with current level 28 capped characters. They included a level 7-9 version along with the epic level version that runs from 30-32 even though cap, when it gets raised, will stop at 30. There is a nice variety to the dungeon mobs, but if you’ve spent any amount of time in DDO over the last few years you’ll have seen every mob you come across at least once. You can speed run it a bit and cut this down dramatically, but if you have the time, going through this massive two-part quest is definitely worth the time. Temple of Elemental Evil is very much an old school dungeon crawl even within DDO and can run up to as much as six hours over the course of the two parts they’ve split the Temple into. The current edition’s Prince of the Apocalypse is taking place in the Forgotten Realms and the Neverwinter MMO is tackling their own version to tie into Princes of the Apocalypse, but Dungeons and Dragons Online got put in the place where the original temple takes place in a plane Eberron doesn’t have access to directly in the game, so to expedite things, they decided to open a portal directly to the Temple itself and forgo the town that leads up to it along with a swamp crawl. The original Temple of Elemental Evil is situated in Greyhawk.
It’s definitely a classic module, and while there’s a whole town and explorable area to go along with it, we were only really getting the dungeon crawl from the module in the game, but it’s one hell of a crawl. This is one of those modules that we’ve run a number of times with different dungeon masters at the table over the years and had adapted it to run in D&D 3.5 when it was designed to run in Second Edition. So when they announced that Temple of Elemental Evil was coming to Dungeons and Dragons Online I was excited. They also got Ed Greenwood, one of the architects of the Realms, the big one rather, to not only guest DM, but to add in commentary about the Haunted Halls module, but also the creation of the Forgotten Realms in general. Haunted Halls of Eveningstar was one of the big ones and Turbine has already adapted that quite beautifully to work with what they already had out in their corner of the Forgotten Realms with Haunted Halls as an epic level dungeon crawl that can take hours or can be speed-run a bit to get through a faster. There are a lot of classic modules for Dungeons & Dragons.
