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