So far each extreme unlock has been linked to a location. Any guesses for Haka? I am leaning towards final wasteland, but it could be a number of places.

OOH Realm of Dischord

Savage Mana + Imbue Vitality.

"Have more than 50 hero cards, villain cards, and environment cards (total) under savage mana"!

I wonder if it will have to do with redirecting damage to Haka and then Healing…

I've always speculated that it would be Final Wasteland or Magmaria.  I could also see Silver Gulch being it, bizarrely.

 

The environments have been extremes related to the core factors that drive the hero.  Argent Adept had the extremes of nature in Insula Primalis.  Captain Cosmic went to the extreme ends of the universe ending up in the Enclave of the Endlings.  Tempest's extreme is a representation of his refugee status, with Dok'thorath being the homeworld of the tyrant that destroyed Tempest's home planet.  Fanatic in the Court of Blood is, of course, an extreme of religion.

 

Thus we need to look into the extremes for Haka, the eternal warrior who wanders the Earth.  The Final Wasteland would be representing the extreme of eternity, but we've already had that environment used for another Haka unlock, so I kind of doubt it.  Magmaria on the other hand, certainly counts as an extreme environment, and this would be representing Haka's exploration of Earth; you don't get much more extreme than the core of the planet.  Silver Gulch would be an extreme of time, but I feel it is certainly the weakest concept of the three.

 

So yeah, I'm rooting for Magmaria.  My guess for the actual effect is something regarding Savage Mana, but I guess we'll see...

You could also see the environments as being linked to each hero's primary nemesis.  Akash'bhuta once protected Insula Primalis and she has some card art there.  Most of the Infinitor encounters take place in space somewhere.  Dok'Thorath and the Court of Blood are obvious.  That would suggest Megalopolis for Haka, since that's the environment most commonly identifiable in Ambuscade's card art.

Magmaria's a good guess too, though.  Xtreme Haka's incap art seems to show a lava environment.

That certainly is an interesting theory too.  Having said that, I hope it's incorrect, as Magalopolis isn't really much of an extreme compared to the other environments we've had.  It would be a bit of a let down.

Even by that theory it could still be Magmaria as there’s Magman in the slaughterhouse six, a team led by Ambuscade.

Though Ambuscade isn't Haka's nemesis then...

Though Desert Eagle is...

Yeah, I'm not sure where to begin with this one. Unless it's Insula Primalis again, jungle and all.

gonna toss this as an idea out there: Rook City. my reasoning is how much Haka is a part of the land, an Island-dweller that worked with his environment more than making it bend to his will. Rook City is the extreme point of humans tkaing over an area, and working towards greed over "environment-friendly" living.

This makes sense, it could be "take X damage for the two citizens"

Well, if it's about redirecting damage to him, and a specific environment, then I would say that Enduring Intercession would be the key card.  The big problem that I see if it's Magmaria is that (aside from the Behemoths) there's not actually that much damage there for him to redirect.

Obviously, I'm just hypothesizing, but if you want environments that deal of ton of damage for him to redirect, I'd lean towards maybe Ruins of Atlantis, or even Rats and Vats.  Though, most of the environments have been thematically driven.
