The Tome of Knowledge in Dota 2 constituted a purchasable item that would grant users a great deal of experience. Valve removed the item from the game, essentially replacing it with the Wisdom Runes that arrived in update 7.33. Notably, these runes grant experience boosts and can prevent games from becoming too one-sided. Interestingly enough, it seems Dota 2\u2019s Tome of Knowledge days were hiding something far more intriguing than XP gains. Dota 2 fan finds unused Windranger Arcana voice lines In a recent Reddit thread, a user named Abyssal_D2 shared a screenshot featuring 31 unused voice lines for Windranger\u2019s Arcana. The post claims the lines were originally written as responses centered around the Tome of Knowledge item. Some of the dialogue reads pretty cut and dry. \u201cSweet tome,\u201d reads one such line. \u201cSome radical ideas in here,\u201d Windranger would\u2019ve said in another piece of dialogue. However, the long list of unused responses includes a few noteworthy pieces of lore-related information, too. In one line, she comments on a \u201cbig disaster in Dark Reef.\u201d Other bits of dialogue boast references to the Isle of Jidi, secret tunnels buried beneath Roshan\u2019s Lair, and the Solar Throne\u2019s influence. Of course, Dota 2 players are nothing short of intrigued by the find. But most seem especially interested in the detail regarding tunnels beneath Roshan\u2019s lair. \u201cWhy didn\u2019t [Valve] use [secret tunnels] instead of Roshan walking to a portal?\u201d one person pondered. Another user asked a similar question, to which someone else responded with the explanation given in the unused voice lines \u2013 \u201cbecause the entrance caved in.\u201d Suffice it to say, Windranger Arcana\u2019s canned Dota 2 lines are packed with lore that players probably wouldn\u2019t mind seeing resurface in some capacity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dota 2 player uncovers over 30 unused Windranger voice lines ValveA Dota 2 player uncovered dozens of unused lines for Windranger\u2019s arcana voice dating back to before Valve removed the Tome of Knowledge.
