This is a [[Barrier]] dungeon introduced with the {{AoD}}[[Atlas of Discovery Expansion]], there is a general guide to this dungeon and a more in-depth look into [[Barrier]] combat in general in [[Barrier|this guide]]. This page will go deeper into combat options, including when {{TotH}}[[Throne of the Herald Expansion]] is owned and already completed.<br>

The following gear is starter gear to farm cult imps for barrier. If you do not have Big ol Ron, simulate how many barrier dust you are receiving with your alternative, and potentially use ranged on cult members instead. It is recommended to upgrade the melee armour used, with a preference over upgrading Terran. This is because the extra [[Damage Reduction]] is required for the {{ZoneIcon|Underwater Ruins}}. The equipment below will result in roughly 2,400 barrier dust an hour. More or less can be obtained depending on the actual gear and other bonusses used. The amount of barrier dust an hour rises to around 5,200 with Terran fully upgraded to (B). '''Depending on your choice in the next section, you do not need to fully upgrade Terran'''.

Lastly, if the player has finished {{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}} at least once, and thus has obtained the [[Combat Passive Slot|passive slot]], it's a good idea to go for another item. The enemies from now on will have a lot more barrier to take down. The {{ItemIcon|Barrier Burn Shield}} from the [[#Trickery Temple|Trickery Temple]] can be used in the passive slot for a lot of extra barrier damage.
