Denson Larika is a former Content Designer. I'm researching some of his work and am very positively surprised. He is responsible for certain places/quests that have special meaning for me.

So I would like to know what places, quests, or NPCs he created or was co-responsible for creating. It would be nice if someone could create such a content list.

If anyone is interested, my question is very similar to the following questions:

What are places known to be created or designed by Chayenne?
What are places known to be created or mapped by Knightmare?

I just spent over an hour researching and realized you already made an article on Tibia Secrets about this here- https://tibiasecrets.com/nomads-people-of-the-desert/ LOL :( However, I'm a little confused about the Yalahar location  I'm so sorry I don't know where that's mentioned

Denson made the alchemist Quarter. He was also Yalahar's lead 'map artist'. This is mentioned by Chayene in one of her interviews. I think you can add that to your answer.  Here is the source:  https://forum.portaltibia.com.br/topic/11420-entrevista-com-chayenne/?tab=comments#comment-142246

Best answer

What content was created by Denson Larika?

  • The three dead bureaucrats,
  • The dream sequence (The Dreamer's Challenge)
  • The Nomads Hideout
  • The 'Troll Sabotage'-Quest
  • Buddel (who once was called Beorn)
  • Klaus' tavern because it is part of the 'Pirate Treasure'-Quest

  • Helped with Zao, he mentions particularly, Dragonblaze Peaks - from ground level to the top, level after level, hollowed out the caves for the dragons
  • "Dens is really great at designing awesome areas with a high detail level and writing fun quests stuffed with complex scripts like everything in and around Beregar or the Treasure Hunt."

  • "His main task for this update was to revamp old areas but he has also developed new exciting quests and scripted the needed NPCs and quest logs for them"

  • Alchemist quarter in Yalahar
Source: PortalTibia
  • "My first task was to place grass tussocks all around the world... It was the PoI update"
  • Possibly Demon Oak- In the interview near his other creations and where he took others to show what he was proud of it says, "Dens making fun of us, because Rohade lured some Tarantulas and we were pwned... it was the most hilarious moment of the interview xD"

Keep in mind Denson Larika is a game content designer and he started on November 14th, 2007 according to my (Source - TibiaWiki) which is backed by this news ticker (Source - Tibia) or maybe even 2006 (Source - Tibia). There's probably a lot of things he's worked on that we're not aware of, I only listed what was pinpointed at my sources. Interestingly enough an article was already written and research was done at this supported fansite: Tibia Secrets: Nomads – people of the desert about the creations of Dens-

But this is probably not all that Dens created. Unfortunately, there is not much information about him. The only and at the same time the last interview with him comes from 2009. The creator himself is certainly as mysterious as his works. Unfortunately, Dens no longer works at Cipsoft.
