Welcome to our guide to complete the Wrath of the Wastes set dungeon for Barbarians,a required step to complete the Masters of the Universe Conquest.

Take the Pandemonium Fortress Level 1 waypoint in Act V, and walk backwards(not through the teleport, but towards the entrance to the zone). Once you walkup the first flight of stairs leading to The Siege Outpost, the Set Dungeonportal should appear if you have the Wrath of the Wastes 6-piece.

The Wrath of the Wastes Set Dungeon's two unique Primary Objectives are to: 1) Rend 10 different enemies at once 5 times; and 2) Do not take anyphysical damage for the duration of the dungeon.

The Wrath of the Wastes Set Dungeon is set in a Sescheron-like map, with astarting corridor leading into a courtyard that splits in two directions. Eitherof them features a dual lane corridor with swinging axe traps, and they connecton the other end in semi-open ruins. A proven tactic is to do a simplecounter-clockwise run, doubling up on each trapped corridor slowly and carefullyto clear it from enemies.

The Wastes Set Dungeon is populated by three kinds of enemies:

• Fallen Peons — these tiny, swarming critters will be the backbone ofyour Rend objective. They pose next to no threat, but still inflictphysical damage (and can thus cause you to fail the 2nd Objective if you're notcareful).
• Pain Mongers — fewer and further between, these lumbering brutes havea powerful but slow and nicely telegraphed melee attack. Keep in mind that evenif you can survive their hits, they count as physical damage for the 2ndObjective.
• Wrath Dealer — the unique enemies of the map. They resemble Act 1'sPain Mongers, but also have Plagued and Waller affixes. Plagued will pose nothreat to your survival and your objectives, but the Waller can be annoyingwhen setting up a Rend pull; you will ideally be using Illusory Boots to counter this.

As with most Set Dungeons, a follower is not necessary and might get in theway more than help the situation. Do not be afraid to dismiss your companion.

The biggest stumbling block of this dungeon is the first Primary Objective,setting up 5 10-man Rends. To accomplish this, take your time with biggertrash packs. Once you notice a lot of enemies on the minimap, Sprintthrough to scout and pull aggro. As a good number of Fallen walk towards you,do a quick Ground Stomp Wrenching Smash — your key to success. Oncegrouped up and stunned, Rend them with the biggest AoE rune, Ravage. If executed correctly, this will net you 10+ enemy hits.

Refrain from the usual Wastes set gameplay — do not Whirlwindmindlessly around, since any properly geared Barb will kill valuable trashoutright. Save Whirlwind once you've made a successful Rend on apull and you want to clean up the area to move on.

Note that our recommended Whirlwind rune, Hurricane, pullsenemies towards you. Use this sparingly and to your advantage — pulling isa hard CC effect and will interrupt enemy attacks, securing the 2ndObjective.

Take your time with swinging axe traps. The map is medium sized and ifyou are properly geared for speed, you will have no trouble making the roundtrip in time. On the flip side, one hit from the axe trap is an automaticfailure of the attempt. Time their movement and walk in between accordingly.
