Shugo Imperial Tomb!
One spring morning, the sorcerer Mirk jolted awake from loud banging. To be honest, it was more like someone was pounding rather than knocking. The sorcerer dragged himself out of bed reluctantly and opened the door. Standing there was Osaye, and the look in her eyes promised anything but peace for the day.
- What brings you here so early, Osaye? – Mirk was visibly half-asleep but was trying hard to maintain his poise, as a skilled sorcerer should.
- For today I go by Lara. As soon as I shift into a Shugo, you’ll call me Lararin.
- Why are you turning into a Shugo? Are you in trouble and hiding from the Archons? – The sorcerer was totally clueless about what was happening.
- We're heading to the Tombs. Wild Tayga is assembling a team, so get ready, grab your orb, and let's move. Come on, no time to dawdle. Do you not want gear?
The sorcerer's resolve crumbled, and he donned his tunic, took the orb from the table, and followed the witch.

A special dungeon has been launched for the event. Access is through the quest NPC Indiana Jonshunerk.
You can locate the NPC at these locations:
Speak to this NPC to start the quest [Event] Empires Past, where you'll earn a Coin-collector’s Pouch.
Upon completing this quest, two more will be accessible:
Daily Quest: [Event/Daily] Spirited Thanks. Rewards:
- Coin-collector’s Pouch.
Extra reward after completing 10 times - 10 Coin-collector’s Pouches
One-time Quest: [Event] Secret of the Map Piece. Reward:
- Immortal Treasure Chest Key - 5.
- Magical Map Box
Now, after completing all the quests, it's time to enter the dungeon with up to a group of three (or as few as two). Once you enter, you and everyone transform into a Shugo, deactivating all your skills except for new ones available on a special panel. Only food, scrolls, and special items from mobs can be used. Skills have a short range, so stay near the mobs.
The instance features 3 stages. In each stage, you'll protect three Tombstones from monsters, strategically located at the center. Monsters won't attack players but aim to destroy the Tombstones.
The primary objective is to defend the central Tombstone - "Emperor's Monument ". If it gets demolished, you won’t earn a reward.
Before beginning the first stage, it's recommended to switch the loot settings to “common and superior”
The stages are initiated by the Shugo Cleric:
1 Stage
Start the 1st stage, the simplest of all. Monsters spawn slowly, including monster-bosses, from which you can acquire keys and treasure map pieces.
You obtain 3 skills:
Shugo Strike: a standard attack inflicts 250 damage each on up to 2 foes
Shugo Doom: Deals 3000 physical damage to a chosen target.
Shugo Sweep: up to 4 nearby opponents endure 566-567 additional damage.
Awakened Guardians drop useful items for restoring DP, healing tombstones, and freezing foes. Grab items in each stage, they'll vanish when you exit the dungeon.
Instantly recovers 2000 DP
Instantly restores 4000DP
Provides instant HP boost to the Imperial Tombstone “Tower” by 50%
Paralyzes all foes within the Imperial Tomb for 6 seconds. Handy in boss battles.
This stage escalates in difficulty with tougher monsters. Keys and map pieces are obtainable from two bosses: Elite Krall Lookout Leader and Elite Krall Lookout.
A new DP skill is added, but use it wisely.
Shugo Venom: Charges 1000 DP – Affects up to 8 foes in a 10-meter radius with additional 339 damage every second for 10 seconds.
If you need to resume gameplay midway, use " Veteran Shugo Warrior Transformation Device ":
3 Stage
The toughest stage, you'll encounter hordes of monsters and two bosses which drop map pieces, keys, plates, and Coin-collector's Pouches. All items vanish when you exit except Coin-collector's Pouch.
Another skill requiring DP is added:
Mirror: Costs DP 2000 – Casts a reflective shield on towers, reflecting all attacks back for 8 seconds.
Use it to guard Emperor's Monument (Target the monument to provide the buff, or it'll be given to group members)
After gathering all map pieces, you obtain a Magical Map Box. Open this to find an Empress' Brass Tag, Silver Tag or Gold Tag.
Note! If you've completed this dungeon before, refrain from opening the box immediately. It's also used in the quest [Event] Secret of the Map Piece.
Keys and map pieces vanish upon exiting the dungeon.
At the Emperor's Stele, you can complete quests [Event] Secret of the Map Piece and [Event/Daily] Spirited Thanks. The obtained keys from quests remain post-exit and are tradable. These keys unlock treasure chests.
These tags, picked from the dungeon, allow entry to the treasure room. Go to the Stele and select the tag you possess:
Once you hand over your tags to the Stele, you gain entry to the room of treasures. Rewards and likelihoods differ based on room type.
