When going for this 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. | When going for this 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. <br> | ||
The setups from the first method can be applied to this method, simply replace any gained (B) [[Terran God Armour]] for their normal counterparts. <br> | |||
Also be sure to use {{ItemIcon|Devouring Barrier Gem}} over {{ItemIcon|Siphoning Barrier Gem}}. | |||
