Dungeon Mechanics

Similar to the last dungeon, the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Underground Lava Lake

harkens back to base game combat, it is a relatively simple dungeon that can is designed to be completed in the early game of the expansion. This means the dungeon does not require advanced tactics, high levels, or complete optimization. Each monster is pulled directly from the associated

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Slayer

Area, and as the player has been forced to fight each of these monsters before, they should be well versed in their dangers.

Intimidation

Just like every other monster in the TotH.svg, each enemy in the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Underground Lava Lake

has a passive effect that reduces the player's Damage Reduction. When in combat with Trogark, the player's base damage reduction is reduced by 20%, before any modifiers from the Combat Triangle.

Manual Clear

Manually clearing the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Underground Lava Lake

is a good way to get to the next dungeon,

Lightning Region

, as soon as possible. Changing equipment sets to be able to fight each monster with Combat Triangle advantage can lower the required levels, especially

Hitpoints

required to clear the dungeon efficiently. The player should already have setups available from clearing each monster in the

Lava Lake

, but they will look similar to the following

build.

Rewards

Completing this dungeon unlocks the

dungeon.

Stats and Buffs

This guide was written up to make the dungeon easily clearable fresh into TotH.svgThrone of the Herald Expansion. It is idleable with the stats and gear provided.
You'll need at least 1,110 Hitpoints and 67% Damage Reduction to safely idle this dungeon.

Summoning

    - Avoids damage from burns inflicted by enemies, particularly useful for Trogark as it nullifies their burn lifesteal passive effect and reduces the maximum damage possible from the Unleashed Power special attack.

Spells

There are three Archaic Spells unlocked by completing

Ancient Sanctuary

. With

Level 100

we can only use

though. If this has not yet been obtained, just use

for now.

Using curses and auroras, unsurprisingly, increases your damage done:

Equipment & Agility

Much like other
