Continue using your Aeris God armour setup for this dungeon. These monsters do not have the mechanic where they base their max hit off of the player's max hit, a crossbow with bolts can be used. As soon as enough {{ItemIcon|Barrier Exalted Shard}} and {{ItemIcon|Siphoning Barrier Gem}} have been obtained to upgrade the first item, it is advised to go collect barrier dust. All of the individual armour pieces have the same passive effect, so the order in which they are upgraded doesn't matter. Start with the armour piece that costs the fewest Barrier Shards and Siphoning Gems. | |||

Once enough upgrade materials have been obtained, depending on the gear the player has, kill either {{MonsterIcon|Cult Imp}} or {{MonsterIcon|Cult Member}}. The benefit from killing Cult Members for barrier dust, is that only the Aeris set needs to be upgraded for maximum effect. However, the Cult Imp can potentially drop more barrier dust in a given hour. Especially if the player is using {{ItemIcon|Big ol Ron}}. Terran God armour is also required in the next sections of the guide. | |||
Collect enough barrier dust to obtain 2,000 {{ItemIcon|Imbued Dragonite Bar}}. Upgrade your armour piece and move back to the Cult Grounds dungeon until enough materials have been obtained for the next upgrade. Repeat this cycle until the full Aeris armour has been obtained. Finally, also upgrade a pair of {{ItemIcon|(U) Ancient D-hide Vambraces}} as they are slightly better than the previously used Barrier Draining Gloves. | |||
Recommended starting gear is similar to that of the previous dungeon. Be sure to double check the amulets and rings that offer damage and familiar damage bonus after every (B) Aeris upgrade, as what results in more kph can change! | |||

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 3,100 with Terran fully upgraded to (B). '''Depending on your choice in the next section, you do not need to fully upgrade Terran''' | |||
Again, Terran is used in this recommended gear over Ragnar with the assumption that this will be (partially) upgraded into (B). | |||
