Dungeon Location & Core Mechanics

Nestled at (-3007,4765) in Vena Fjord's Frost Forge Bay, the dungeon's entrance screams 'danger zone' with its ominous LEA Research Institute symbol. Unlock the nearest waypoint before approaching—but clear those pesky Rosetta Personnel first! You wouldn't wanna start with half health because some trigger-happy guard got lucky. The real headache? Shadow Corrosion. This nasty stacking debuff melts your sanity faster than ice in a furnace, forcing you to hug Glowpoints or toss Glowballs at your feet for the Enduring Lambent buff. Pro tip: Treat every step like hot coals—linger too long without cleansing, and you're toast!

Journey To The First Checkpoint: Orderkeeper

Right after entry, two pillars demand attention. Shoot the floating symbols in sequence to unlock the path—consider this the dungeon's 'warm-up puzzle'. Once through, Shadow Corrosion starts stacking like unpaid bills. Sprint past early mobs; they're just distractions. Two paths lead to the first Glowpoint: the risky right shortcut (one wrong jump = splat!) or safer left route. Choose wisely—your HP thanks you later. At the Orderkeeper arena, park yourself in the Glowpoint's cozy aura. This frosty boss loves freezing players solid, making you mob bait. Focus-fire it while chucking Glowballs when corrosion stacks pile up. Priority target: Orderkeeper itself. Everything else is background noise!

Crossing The Sloping Hall

Activate dormant pillars by lobbing Glowballs (snatched from slain Rainfall Reapers) to reveal Lambent marks. The pillar sequence here's set in stone: middle → left → right. Shoot marks in that exact order to unveil the passage and treasure chest. Easy peasy, right? But hold up—a Mirror Deviant waits mid-path, reflecting bullets like a smug disco ball. Stop shooting when it vanishes into mirrors; resume when it reappears. This ain't a DPS race—it's about patience!

Second Checkpoint: The Scorcher

Four shielded pillars guard this fiery boss, requiring Glowballs (dropped by mini-Scorchers) to activate. Here's the kicker: Marks stay hidden until you interact with the central Round Ward. Once revealed, shoot symbols top-to-bottom clockwise. Miss the order? The Scorcher laughs off your damage behind its sigil shield. Clear this, and loot spills out alongside Deviant spawns—grab goodies before hopping the elevator!

Final Checkpoint Prep

Pillars here need no solving—just manage Shadow Corrosion while sprinting to Secret Servitor's arena. Teammates lagging? No sweat! They'll auto-teleport in 5 seconds after cutscene triggers. Handy for carrying less-geared friends!

The Final Boss Showdown

You'll free-fall into the arena—immediately glide to pillars using spacebar! Getting caught outside Glowpoint range with corrosion stacks? That's a one-way ticket to respawn town. The boss gains a regenerating sigil shield at 50% HP. Symbols now appear near its clones—not on rings—so eagle-eye those marks! Solve the puzzle within 30 seconds for a damage window. Fail? Three phases later, the shield drops permanently... but who wants a 20-minute slog? Max your weapon enhancements and unleash hell!
