There are two different ways of approaching this Dungeon.
The first would be to just get the Dungeon over with as soon as possible to get your Skill Cap Increases and gain access to {{ZoneIcon|Impending Darkness Event}}. This would include not grinding out {{ZoneIcon|Underwater Ruins}} for it's weapons.
The second would be to obtain at least {{ItemIcon|Engulfing Vortex Longbow}}, which would actually be advised. <br>
{{ItemIcon|Water Pulse Staff}} is also a very good weapon which will last until {{SkillReq|Magic|120}}, even if it is slightly worse than {{Skill|Runecrafting}} alternatives but would not require you to level {{Skill|Runecrafting}} above around Level 85. <br>
When grinding out the {{ZoneIcon|Underwater Ruins}} weapon(s) it is advised to start with {{ItemIcon|Engulfing Vortex Longbow}} and craft up (B) versions of [[God Equipment|God Armour]] along the way. This would also require {{SkillReq|Smithing|99}}. <br>
It is advised to upgrade [[Terran God Armour]] first, particularly the Boots, Leggings and Platebody. The Helm and Gloves will be replaced at a later point with the {{ItemIcon|Hood of Shade Summon|Necromancers Palace Summon Set}} and thus have a lower priority to be upgraded at this point.
When crafting {{ItemIcon|Imbued Dragonite Bar}} it is highly advised to get as much +1 additional resource chance as possible (Relic #3 50%, {{ItemIcon|Mining Lantern}} 30%, {{POIIcon|Ragnar Dungeon Ruins}} 10/20%, {{UpgradeIcon|Magic Anvil}} 10%), as well as getting the stacking/separate extra resource modifier from the {{Synergy|Ent|Salamander}} Synergy. <br>
When all these buffs are obtained, it should lower the amount of {{ItemIcon|Barrier Dust}} needed for a complete set from 96,000 to roughly 43,600.
When going for the second option, making the choice to do the {{ZoneIcon|Underwater Ruins}} grinding before {{ZoneIcon|Underwater City}} can be worth it as you also gain (B) [[God Equipment|God Armour]] from doing this, making the clear speed on {{ZoneIcon|Underwater City}} faster.
Contrary to all previous [[Dungeons]], some minor {{Skill|Astrology}} investment is highly recommended. Specifically obtaining the 8% [[Accuracy]] stars in the [[Constellations]] {{ConstellationIcon|Iridan}}, {{ConstellationIcon|Terra}}, {{ConstellationIcon|Vale}}, {{ConstellationIcon|Syllia}} and {{ConstellationIcon|Arachi}}. The [[Relics|Master Relic]] will not be required, nor will any other Stars.
Due to the regen mechanics of both the {{Icon|Barrier}} and Health of the boss, it would be advised to Manual Eat as little as possible, for this reason as much [[Damage Reduction]] as possible will be packed on for this Dungeons Boss {{MonsterIcon|Nagaia}}. <br>
because of the high regen capabilities of the Monsters {{Icon|Barrier}} it is highly recommended to follow the [[Combat Triangle]], this means a {{Skill|Ranged}} setup for waves 1 and 2, [[Melee]] for waves 3 and 4, {{Skill|Magic}} setup for waves 5 and 6, {{Skill|Ranged}} for waves 7 and 8, and finally [[Melee]] for the 9th and final wave. Active switching styles is highly recommended as the Dungeon will go much faster this way. A setup for each combat style is included in this guide. <br>
It is entirely possible to do this Dungeon completely [[Idle]] at this point, it however depends greatly on which [[Relics]] have been obtained.
==Melee==
This is the setup that will be used for the boss, attempting any other style will result in Death at this stage.
It will require at least 70% [[Damage Reduction]] and 1010 {{Skill|Hitpoints|HP}} or 71% if you're want to be 100% safe. (70% has roughly 0.004 Deaths per hour, 71% eliminates the Death Chance entirely) <br>
You can replace {{ItemIcon|Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs}} and {{ItemIcon|Tormented Ring}} with any combination of [[Amulet]] and [[Ring]] of choice as long as 2/3% [[Damage Reduction]] is gained from those 2 Item Slots combined. <br>
{{Skill|Defence}} [[Relics|Relic #5]] provides a bite more wiggle room replacing the need for [[Damage Reduction]] from either [[Amulet]] or [[Ring]], if this Relic is obtained it {{ItemIcon|Adaptive Summoning Amulet}} and {{ItemIcon|Tormented Ring}} would be the best options.

{{ItemIcon|Sunset Rapier}} or {{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw}} can be used instead of {{ItemIcon|Infernal Claw}} for slightly lower clear speed.

This page was last updated for (v1.2.2).

Standard Guide

Introduction

This is a Barrier dungeon introduced with the Atlas of Discovery Expansion, there is a general guide to this dungeon and a more in-depth look into Barrier combat in general in this guide. This page will go deeper into combat options, including when Throne of the Herald Expansion is owned and already completed.

This guide is not meant for optimal kills per hour but instead focuses on easily obtainable ways ranging from just passed God Dungeons to having beaten

Throne of the Herald

to clear the dungeon effectively.

Requirements

Recommended

  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing

    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Level 75
    ,
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Level 99
    .


The enemies, and especially the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Nagaia

hit very hard in this dungeon. A lot of damage reduction is required in order to idle this dungeon without dying. Alternatively, the player can return after having progressed through the Throne of the Herald expansion. Having more hitpoints or other damage reducing and damage inflicting bonusses can greatly speed up the clear times of this dungeon. Set 1 clears the dungeon roughly 27 times per hour. Set 2 clears it roughly 8.5 times per hour. (You can swap the weapon & summons in Set 2).

The Preferred Shield is Earth Layered Shield, however Devouring Barrier Shield can be used, once the upgrade item has been obtained from this dungeon.

Clearing the Underwater City dungeon provides 1 Barrier God Shard every time it is cleared. These can be used to upgrade (B) god armours into their respective (C) armours. These can then be used to very effectively clear

Crystal Depths

for Crystal Binding Dust if the player hasn't already done this.

Equipment

Below are 2 sets, unlike the previous dungeons, you can't mix and match this dungeon. Set 1 is for post-TotH clears. Set 2 is for clears just before or after

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Impending Darkness Event

.
Set 1 requires

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 120

.
Set 2 requires a minimum of

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 99

. Calculated at all combat skills level 99 in the Combat Simulator.

Set 2 can be all non-B upgraded Terran God Armour and it will only lower the Kills Per Hour by about 2 (from 8.5 to 6.5).

Point of Interest: Dark Waters


Agility

The Agility obstacles 9 or higher are not required, 8 and below are highly suggested (and simulations were done with those active).



Ancient Relics Guide

There are two different ways of approaching this Dungeon.

The first would be to just get the Dungeon over with as soon as possible to get your Skill Cap Increases and gain access to

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Impending Darkness Event

. This would include not grinding out Underwater Ruins for it's weapons.

The second would be to obtain at least Engulfing Vortex Longbow, which would actually be advised.

Water Pulse Staff is also a very good weapon which will last until

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 120

, even if it is slightly worse than

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Runecrafting

alternatives but would not require you to level

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Runecrafting

above around Level 85.
When grinding out the Underwater Ruins weapon(s) it is advised to start with Engulfing Vortex Longbow and craft up (B) versions of God Armour along the way. This would also require

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 99

.

It is advised to upgrade Terran God Armour first, particularly the Boots, Leggings and Platebody. The Helm and Gloves will be replaced at a later point with the Necromancers Palace Summon Set and thus have a lower priority to be upgraded at this point.

When crafting Imbued Dragonite Bar it is highly advised to get as much +1 additional resource chance as possible (Relic #3 50%, Mining Lantern 30%, Ragnar Dungeon Ruins 10/20%, Magic Anvil 10%), as well as getting the stacking/separate extra resource modifier from the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ent

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Salamander

Synergy.

When all these buffs are obtained, it should lower the amount of Barrier Dust needed for a complete set from 96,000 to roughly 43,600.

When going for the second option, making the choice to do the Underwater Ruins grinding before Underwater City can be worth it as you also gain (B) God Armour from doing this, making the clear speed on Underwater City faster.


Contrary to all previous Dungeons, some minor

investment is highly recommended. Specifically obtaining the 8% Accuracy stars in the Constellations

Iridan

,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Terra

,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Vale

,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Syllia

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Arachi

. The Master Relic will not be required, nor will any other Stars.


Due to the regen mechanics of both the Barrier and Health of the boss, it would be advised to Manual Eat as little as possible, for this reason as much Damage Reduction as possible will be packed on for this Dungeons Boss

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Nagaia

.
because of the high regen capabilities of the Monsters Barrier it is highly recommended to follow the Combat Triangle, this means a

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

setup for waves 1 and 2, Melee for waves 3 and 4,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Magic

setup for waves 5 and 6,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ranged

for waves 7 and 8, and finally Melee for the 9th and final wave. Active switching styles is highly recommended as the Dungeon will go much faster this way. A setup for each combat style is included in this guide.

It is entirely possible to do this Dungeon completely Idle at this point, it however depends greatly on which Relics have been obtained.



Melee

This is the setup that will be used for the boss, attempting any other style will result in Death at this stage.

It will require at least 70% Damage Reduction and 1010

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
HP

or 71% if you're want to be 100% safe. (70% has roughly 0.004 Deaths per hour, 71% eliminates the Death Chance entirely)

You can replace Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs and Tormented Ring with any combination of Amulet and Ring of choice as long as 2/3% Damage Reduction is gained from those 2 Item Slots combined.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Defence

Relic #5 provides a bite more wiggle room replacing the need for Damage Reduction from either Amulet or Ring, if this Relic is obtained it Adaptive Summoning Amulet and Tormented Ring would be the best options.


Gear

Sunset Rapier or Ancient Claw can be used instead of Infernal Claw for slightly lower clear speed.
