Secrets of Sharn - Too Hot to Handle Secret Optional(s)/Mechanic(s)

[Magnus_Arcanis]

Greetings,

You may remember my recent rumblings through Isle of Dread's Dark Secret alternate ending on my twitch channel, Arcanaverse a few months back.

Post PAX east, I'm hearing some rumblings about a possible secret option for the Masterminds of Sharn raid, Too Hot To Handle.

I've heard rumors of such things in the past as there were some open ended items/mechanics that were unused or seemingly didn't/don't have a purpose. So, not really sure how much substance there is to these theories, but recently folks have been claiming dev talk, even recent dev talk, about there being something to these rumors.

Not expecting anything on the level of the Dark Secrets, but I'm reaching out for any and all information to see if we can determine that there is indeed something to find. From dev chat sources, lore, odd or unused mechanics, to previously tested mechanics.

To be clear. I'm looking for facts, not guesses or speculation. What did the devs actually say, actual game text, knowledge of game or raid mechanics that do/don't work that may not be well known.

Feel free to post here or join the Discord. Otherwise, join me this Sunday at 4pm est on twitch as we begin the search at twitch.tv/Arcanaverse

Thanks.
