World of Warcraft players have discovered a secret boss tucked away on a hidden island in Dragonflight. Though the boss is not involved in any quests or achievements, players are still delighted to discover this secret in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight.
Lev’al Rock Isle is a remote location found south of the Azure Span zone in Dragonflight. This secret island is nearly off the edge of the map and can only be seen on the clearest of days. Players can easily reach the hidden island with their Dragonriding mounts.
The secret island is littered with bones, discarded weapons, and dead plants, and it was recently shown in a YouTube video uploaded by Partier WoW Quests. Tree stumps and bushes burn from rogue fire elementals and Magma Slugs, and crabs wearing dragon skulls and vertebrae wander the island in lines, giving the appearance of skeletal serpents when viewed from above. Crustosteo, a giant enemy crab wearing a dragon skull with burning eyes, waits within the isle’s largest cavern. Though not particularly difficult, the tanky Elite World of Warcraft boss has a fair amount of hitpoints and defensive abilities.
Unfortunately, Crustosteo does not drop anything of note beyond vendorable junk, cooking reagents, and the occasional green weapon. Hunter players interested in taming these bone-wearing crustaceans will be sorely disappointed–Crustosteo is not tamable, and the Lev’al Skulltlers and Spineshells lose their dragon bones when they are tamed. Lev’al Rock Isle is not connected to any achievements, quests, or collectibles, so it appears to be little more than an explorable secret for World of Warcraft players to stumble upon.
That isn't necessarily a bad thing, as adding little secrets around the world is how World of Warcraft breathes life into its zones. Though World of Warcraft had hit a rocky point in its history between Battle for Azeroth, Shadowlands, and Blizzard’s recent controversies, many players have good things to say about Dragonflight. It is far from the perfect World of Warcraft expansion, but little secrets like Lev’al Rock and Crustosteo prove Dragonflight is creating an experience that harkens back to what made players fall in love with WoW in the first place.
That said, players are a little disappointed this particular World of Warcraft secret didn’t have anything more significant with it. Players would have enjoyed the opportunity to collect a special battle pet, cosmetic item, or even a toy from Crustosteo and his hidden lair. Additionally, pet-collecting Hunter players in World of Warcraft would have loved to get a crab with a dragon skull on its head. If Hunter players are lucky, perhaps World of Warcraft might reuse Crustosteo’s model in the future on a collectible pet.
World of Warcraft is available now on PC.
