Underwater City/Guide
This page was last updated for (v1.2.2). |
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.

The enemies, and especially the 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 23 times per hour. Set 2 clears it roughly 6 times per hour. (You can swap the weapon & summons in Set 2).
The Relic Shield is preferred over the Earth Layered Shield, because it offers 4% more damage reduction at
Level 90 and above. Alternatively the
Devouring Barrier Shield can be used, once the upgrade item has been obtained from this dungeon. However, the player should check if the 4% reduction in DR doesn't result in death. The
Eradicating Gloves (m) should be equipped immediately when 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.
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 IDE.
Set 1 requires Level 120.
Set 2 requires a minimum of Level 100.
Prayers: Battleheart and
Valor. Swap to
Battleheart and
Battleborn for Set 2.
Potion: Damage Reduction Potion IV
Point of Interest: Dark Waters
The Agility obstacles 11+ are not required, 11 and below are highly suggested (and simulations were done with those active).
Swap AgilityObstacle 15 from
Freezing Rafting to
Waterfall Crossing if using Set 1.
