The Shugo Imperial Tomb has been available for players to explore since this past weekend!
On a brisk spring morning, the sorcerer Mirk was startled awake by a loud banging. It sounded more like someone was pounding on his door with great force rather than a gentle knock. Reluctantly, the sorcerer dragged himself from his bed and opened the door. Standing there was Osaye, her determined gaze indicating that today would be anything but tranquil.
- Why have you come so early, Osaye? – Mirk, barely awake, was doing his best to appear composed, as befitting an esteemed magician.
- Today, I am no longer Osaye. Call me Lara, and once I transform into a Shugo, you’ll address me as Lararin.
- Why the transformation into a Shugo? Are you in some sort of trouble, trying to elude the Archons? – The situation was utterly perplexing to Mirk.
- We’re heading to the Tombs. Wild Tayga is forming a group, so gather your gear and let’s hurry. Don’t dawdle unless you’re not interested in new equipment!
The witch’s firm demeanor left Mirk with little option. He donned his tunic, took his crystal ball from the table, and accompanied the witch.

Once all quests are taken, venture into the dungeon with a small team (up to 3 players, can enter with two). Inside, everyone transforms into a Shugo. Existing skills are deactivated, leaving only new special skills accessible. Use only special items obtained from mobs, alongside food and scrolls. Skills have short range, requiring close proximity to mobs.
The dungeon consists of three stages. Each stage involves defending three Tombstones placed centrally from monsters. These enemies don’t attack players or inflict player damage; their aim is to destroy the Tombstones.
The main objective is protecting the central Tombstone – “Emperor's Monument ". If it's destroyed, you'll lose the reward.
Prior to launching the first stage, adjust loot roll to “common and superior.”
Stages are initiated by the Shugo Cleric:
1 Stage
Begin the 1st stage, the simplest. Monsters appear slowly and include bosses that drop keys and treasure map pieces.
You'll get 3 skills:
Shugo Strike: a basic attack inflicting 250 damage each on up to two enemies
Shugo Doom: Causes 3000 physical damage to a chosen target.
Shugo Sweep: up to four nearby opponents take an additional 566-567 damage.
From the Awakened Guardians, gather helpful items like DP restoratives, tombstone healers, and monster freezing tools. Collect these throughout all stages; they vanish upon dungeon exit.
Restores 2000 DP instantly
Restores 4000 DP instantly
Increases HP at the Imperial Tombstone “Tower” by 50% instantly
Immobilizes all enemies in the Imperial Tomb for 6 seconds. Vital during boss battles.
This stage ramps up the difficulty, featuring tougher monsters. Only 2 bosses, Elite Krall Lookout Leader and Elite Krall Lookout, drop keys and map pieces.
A new DP skill is introduced but save it for crucial points.
Shugo Venom: costs 1000 DP to use - Inflicts an extra 339 damage every second for 10 seconds on up to 8 enemies within a 10-meter radius.
If you've exited the game at this point, utilize " Veteran Shugo Warrior Transformation Device ":
3 Stage
In the toughest stage, waves of monsters and two bosses drop map pieces, keys, and Coin-collector's Pouches. All items vanish post-dungeon, except the coin pouches.
Another DP skill becomes available:
Mirror: Costs 2000 DP - Cast a reflective shield on towers. Reflects all attacks back to attackers for 8 seconds
Use it to guard the Emperor's Monument (Ensure the monument is targeted, else the buff applies to your group members)
REWARDS
After piecing together all the maps, you'll receive a Magical Map Box, containing either an Empress' Brass Tag, Empress' Silver Tag, orEmpress' Gold Tag.
Note! If you've finished this dungeon before, don't rush to open the box, it can also be used for the quest [Event] Secret of the Map Piece.
Keys and map pieces vanish upon dungeon exit.
At the Emperor's Stele, you can complete quests [Event] Secret of the Map Piece and [Event/Daily] Spirited Thanks. The quest-acquired keys remain after leaving and can be traded. These keys unlock treasure chests.
