Preperation

Before entering the dungeon, or even thinking about entering, we recommend you have at least:

2,000 Primary Stat with a Zaarus Set
Any Kraken Weapon
A Party (if you don't PT, then you risk wasting a key; there is a high chance that players will leave)
All Elixir types for your entire Party (Damage, Damage Reduction, Armor, Speed, Luck)
25 Ankhs
10 Respec Scrolls
4 Hotbars
A Gold Loot Set is optional, as your party may not wish to clear the Treasure Rooms.

Dungeon Mechanics

Upon entering the dungeon your key will be taken, and you must step into the circle to start the dungeon, the timer will start once someone aggros the mobs.

Your Score increases when you kill enemies.

You may rotate the camera in this Zone (Z & X on PC).
