It has been some time since the previous edition of the Time Machine, but today we're once again taking you on a journey through the history of Rookgaard.

This time, things will be a little different than before. For some of you, this edition may prove to be less interesting - it will be darker, gloomier, and, above all, we will travel back to very old versions of Tibia that most of us never had the chance to experience.

For fans of Tibia's history and its old versions, however, the opposite may be true - this edition could prove to be particularly interesting.

Let's move on to one of Rookgaard's iconic locations - Minotaur Hell.

This is where many Rookstayers spent their first moments fighting minotaurs. Over the course of subsequent Tibia versions, this place changed mainly in terms of its graphics, although its distinctive layout remained easily recognizable.
Let's also take a look at the area behind it, where we can assume that the minotaurs prepared their meals. Today, it is difficult to say exactly what purpose this place served, but it certainly remains an interesting element of Rookgaard's undergrounds.
One level above, we find more groups of orcs and minotaurs, who were usually not very friendly towards travelers passing through these areas. It is also worth paying attention to the characteristic rock formations - rocks, stones, and rocky spikes protruding from the ground, forming something resembling a circle.
Since we're already in one hell, let's move on to another - Orc Hell, a place where the orcs spent their time.
Just like in the case of Minotaur Hell, the main change over the years was the graphics. It is worth noting, however, something that has remained practically unchanged despite the passage of time - the layout of the rooms.

This allows us to see just how much Tibia has changed visually while still preserving the familiar locations and their distinctive layouts known to players.

Finally, let's brighten up our journey a little, as ahead of us lies the entrance to the Copper Shield Quest - the path leading all the way to the dragon itself.

A dead one, admittedly, but it's still a dragon.
Best regards,
Rookie Team
