Trivia[]

  • Ravagers, Rampart Captains and the Tempest Golem are the only Howling Peaks mobs not included within this free mission.
  • Gauntlet of Gales uses the two unused soundtracks in the Howling Peaks soundtrack, Gale Sanctum and Scud.
  • The Gauntlet of Gales allows players to get artifacts from the Howling Peaks DLC without owning the it.
  • In the Minecraft Dungeons Diaries episode for the Echoing Void DLC, it was revealed that it was actually originally intended to be a small part of the Gale Sanctum, but the developers thought it would fit better as a secret level on its own.[1]
