This page was last updated for (v1.2.2).

Basic Guide

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.

Requirements

This dungeon can be completed with ease, by using the same equipment as the previous dungeon. For instance, Ancient Armour will be more than enough to clear this dungeon. Just make sure you have enough damage reduction (combined with hitpoints) to survive the dungeon. Melee is recommended to benefit from the combat triangle.

There are no Barrier related items in this dungeon. However this dungeon does drop Ring of Malice (m) which is Best in Slot for non-Barrier content that takes less than 5 hits to die.
This dungeon also drops Doubling Gem which is well worth getting.

Ancient Relics Guide

The major gimmick with Barrier content is using Summoning familiars. Given the nature of Ancient Relics and the random unlocking of skills, it can be quite challenging to do these Barrier Dungeons.
The Barrier Guides will assume a "reasonable" level of Summoning but will also provide the lowest Summoning familiars that will achieve the job.

Contrary to what the guides for Standard Mode will suggest, the Ancient Relics guide is aimed at first clears for the dungeons.
It is advised to do the major Barrier grinding either around Impending Darkness Event if you want Eradicating Gloves (m) while also going for Engulfing Vortex Longbow, otherwise it's advised to wait until you have the Necromancer set from Necromancers Palace.


There is some information that can be useful in the Standard Sections of the Guides, however any suggestions of Gear or Items you should obtain from the Dungeons can be ignored unless stated otherwise in the Ancient Relics sections of the Guides.

On top of no Pets, Astrology or Potions this guide will also assume no Relics.

This Dungeon can be done completely Idle. Manual Eating will not be needed.
