Unlock the [[Ancient Market]] digsite and upgrade the map to perfect. It's heavily encouraged to also refine the map and get the +1 artifact bonus.

From | From the Ancient Market, collect a whole bunch of barrier gems. These are needed to make Tortoise familiars. These are a must have for all the combat in this expansion. Depending on how many tablets you can make at once, and the preservation chance, more barrier gems should be obtained. 1,000 - 5,000 gems is a good number to aim for, depending on the previous factors. | ||
Make Tortoise tablets and an equal amount of Dragon tablets. If possible use the Necromancer outfit, Old Summoning Amulet and the Signet Ring for more tablet output. Equip both the Tortoise and Dragon tablets. These will be used throughout the expansion! | Make Tortoise tablets and an equal amount of Dragon tablets.

This dungeon can be completed | 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 once. Melee is recommended to benefit from the combat triangle. | ||

The monsters in the trickery temple deal a lot more damage than previous dungeons. On top of that, the enemies there have a reflect mechanic (where part of the damage the player deals is inflicted back upon the player), and a mechanic where the enemies' max hit is based on the player's max hit. All enemies in this dungeon are also magic-based. It is therefore highly recommended to use the ranged combat style, preferably with [[Ranged#Javelins|javelins]] or [[Ranged#Throwing_Knives|throwing knifes]] to lower the player's max hit. | The monsters in the trickery temple deal a lot more damage than previous dungeons.

Even with throwing knifes the reflect and enemy max hit still become very high. Always make sure to use the combat simulator beforehand to ensure you are not going to die! Alternatively, you can also do one clear by manual eating. | Even with throwing knifes the reflect and enemy max hit still become very high.

With fully upgraded Aeris (B) and the other barrier damage items, it shouldn't be a problem at all taking these down much faster than before. | ||

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. | ||
