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 27 times per hour. Set 2 clears it roughly 8.5 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.
