wow Secret Gnomeregan Boss Found!

[Starym 3,779]

Endgineer Omegaplugg drops a Leper Gnome toy.

Endgineer Omegaplug comes out and kills the final boss, drops a toy that makes you a Leper Gnome.

 

With Senior Game designer Jeremy Feasel teasing that there are more secrets left to be found and everyone frantically looking around the Broken Isles for any possible clue it seems almost miraculous that anyone actually went back to Gnomeregan of all places and found a brand new secret boss!

After some electricity-related hints on twitter, redditor Nexeoes discovered a Mimiron-like button, but much much smaller that can be pressed after reaching the final boss and NOT killing him. Endgineer Omegaplugg then comes out, kills Engineer Thermaplugg and can then be fought. Now, this is a level 110 boss and apparently hits VERY hard so you'll need a well geared team if you want to get his only piece of loot, Vial of Green Goo, which everyone in the party gets. As mentioned above, the boss is pretty tricky, so check out the full rundown of abilities and mini-guide Nexeos shared in the reddit thread for more info.

The button is located on the first pillar to the left as you enter the room.

Now, as secrets go, this is a pretty solid one and was probably added to the game when the Hunter pet was placed in Gnomeregan, but it doesn't sound like the one previously alluded to by Jeremy Feasel since it doesn't have much of anything to do with "the opposite of the ocean". So I think it's safe to say we still have a major secret floating around and I for one can't wait to find out what it is!

I found something what can lead to secret, but I'm not sure... During WQ in Black Rook Hold arena, there is torch holder on the central pillar with raven statue. Torch holder (with torch attached) can be clicked and it moves, like you see in movies, when you open secret passage with it. Unfortunately, torch is there only during WQ, a there isn't much to time to explore what happens after you click it.

Man, I Hope Blizzard does that to other old dungeons as well. This increases the replay value. Imagine finding a secret boss or event in ICC (like something related to Bolvar) or Ulduar (which plays a role in the Legion storyline with Magni and the Pillars of Light).

Is this the thing that leads to the stairs to exit the arena?

Would be a nice addition for dungeons that include timewalking, since people will stumble across it.

I love that they have done this for Gnomergan.  I also agree with the other posters here and would like to see more of this in the older dungoens or if they wanted to make it timewalking only content.  I think it would be awesome to do this so we can get more people to see some of the older content that really was and still is great.

No idea. I wanna try that again with full party, so I don't get attacked all the time. But arena WQ isn't there for almost a week now.

Let us know what you find when it does come up again!

I tried. I really tried. I spent half hour in that meatgrinder... and nothing. :-(

I'd like to see a hidden boss in the Stockades. In a room behind Hogger, there will be a hidden chest with a key. Use this key to open a secret passage which lead you to the secret boss.

Would be awesome to see a figure from a quest that was a "bad guy" appear, as Hogger did, and they ended up being behind the revolt.
