Usage

Maintain Dark Escape at all times while being attacked on any level.

Level 1

• Run to opposite end of dungeon and lose all aggro past the res shrine near the Brigand. Pull out a bow and pull the Brigand. maintain DE & Wastrel the Brigand to death. A summoning stone is recommended.
• Run to level 2.

Level 2

• Pull the aggro in the water on the wall to the right until all are balled; synchronize the visages to keep their energy at 0 and maintain channeling for constant energy. Wastrels the group.
• At the graveyard, pull the melees and mages into a ball along a wall, use visages again and wastrels them away.
• Light the torches for the next Brigand, pull it with a bow, and then kill as you did on level 1.
• Run to the gate to level 3.

Level 3

• Run with your torch and light all the braziers needed, kill the Brigand group that spawns by using a nearby pillar or table to block any from escaping. Kill as you did the first spawn on level 2. Grab the key and run in to Fendi.
• Fendi is not fun. Wastrel him to death along with using jets, avoid the rangers as much as possible! Once the Soul spawns, run to it and wastrels it + any of the Damned Crewmen. Rinse and repeat this until the Soul is finally dead.

Counters

• Skeleton Wizard spikes if you have no anti-knockdown active. (i.e. Dwarven Stability must be maintained with alcohol.)

Notes

• Personal consumables are highly recommended, and Alcohol is required to avoid knockdowns.
