This is a [[Barrier]] dungeon introduced with the {{AoD}}[[Atlas of Discovery Expansion]], there is a general guide to this dungeon and a more in-depth look into [[Barrier]] combat in general in [[Barrier|this guide]]. This page will go deeper into combat options, including when {{TotH}}[[Throne of the Herald Expansion]] is owned and already completed.<br>

==Dust Farming==
 
The following gear is starter gear to farm cult imps for barrier. If you do not have Big ol Ron, simulate how many barrier dust you are receiving with your alternative, and potentially use ranged on cult members instead. It is recommended to upgrade the melee armour used, with a preference over upgrading Terran. This is because the extra [[Damage Reduction]] is required for the {{ZoneIcon|Underwater Ruins}}. The equipment below will result in roughly 2,400 barrier dust an hour. More or less can be obtained depending on the actual gear and other bonusses used. The amount of barrier dust an hour rises to around 5,200 with Terran fully upgraded to (B). '''Depending on your choice in the next section, you do not need to fully upgrade Terran'''.




Agility obstacles aren't required, this is purely an indication how you can get the most out of your Agility if you have it. Follow it untill where you have it.
===Equipment===
Again, Terran is used in this recommended gear over Ragnar with the assumption that this will be (partially) upgraded into (B). Start by upgrading the Terran Boots, Platelegs and Chestplate.

It is advised that the player stays at Cult Grounds until the {{ItemIcon|Summoner's Blessed Ring}} is obtained. This is also a good time to go back to {{MonsterIcon|Magic Mirror}} with the gear recommended [[#Trickery Temple|here]] since the {{ItemIcon|Trickery Mirror}} is required for the next section. With fully upgraded Aeris (B) and the other barrier damage items, it shouldn't be a problem at all taking these down much faster than before.
 
Lastly, if the player has finished {{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}} at least once, and thus has obtained the [[Combat Passive Slot|passive slot]], it's a good idea to go for another item. The enemies from now on will have a lot more barrier to take down. The {{ItemIcon|Barrier Burn Shield}} from the [[#Trickery Temple|Trickery Temple]] can be used in the passive slot for a lot of extra barrier damage.
 
==Endgame Setup==
===Equipment===
These 2 gear setups are equal when it comes to chests per hour.
You can substitute the {{ItemIcon|Weakness Exploiter Cape}} with {{ItemIcon|Ancient Infernal Cape}} for a very minor (0.3) chest per hour loss.

=Ancient Relics Guide=
 
On top of no [[Pets]], {{Skill|Astrology}} or [[Potions]] this guide will also assume no [[Relics]]. <br>
 
It is assumed the [[Golem_Territory/Guide#Ancient_Relics_Guide|Golem Territory Guide]] Ancient Relics section has been read.
 
==Pre God Dungeon Guides==
 
This Dungeon can not be done completely [[Idle]] at this point. Manual Eating will be required.
 
 
The provided setup will take roughly 33 minutes to clear the dungeon. <br>
And will use roughly {{ItemIcon|Lobster|qty=2450}}. <br>
 
Due to the [[Barrier]] Mechanic and the general low Combat stats available at this point, rather high levels of {{Skill|Summoning}} will be required. <br>
It is advised to use {{ItemIcon|Tortoise}} when doing this Dungeon out of the suggested order. <br>
The gems for this Familiar can be obtained from {{Skill|Archaeology}} in the {{POIIcon|Ancient Market}} Dig Site. <br>
Roughly 850 Tablets will be used per clear.
 
* {{ItemIcon|Ancient Crossbow}} clears this dungeon roughly 13 minutes faster.
* {{Synergy|Tortoise|Dragon}} clears this dungeon roughly 5-13 minutes faster, depending on weapon.
 
 
* Prayers: {{PrayerIcon|Hawk Eye}} & {{PrayerIcon|Eagle Eye}}


Again, Terran is used in this recommended gear over Ragnar with the assumption that this will be (partially) upgraded into (B). Start by upgrading the Terran Boots, Platelegs and Chestplate.
