The Nightmare Circus
The event continues from 29.10 to 11.11 (inclusive)
Osaye was sitting on her room's floor, pulling apart a large teddy bear she once got from Wild Tayga. Most of the stuffing was already out when a knock was heard at the door.
With a mix of irony, the ranger who had given her that gift was standing in the doorway.
- What are you doing? What's the reason for tearing up my gift like that? – Tayga asked, astounded.
- I have a reason. My friend is in trouble.
- What friend? Does she snack on hay?!
- No, Princess IU. That wicked Nightmare Lord Heiramune snatched her away and tucked her in his cursed circus. You can only get inside in a bear form... Will you assist me?
The girl's eyes were pleading for assistance.
The ranger hesitated, then pictured enthusiastically piercing a circus performer and being showered with admiration and affection from the ladies. Decision made.
Just need another bear outfit...
The event offers a special dungeon: Entry is available through the NPCs.
- Arika (Sanctum)
- Saia (Pandaemonium)
- 2 steps to enter the Nightmare Circus:
- - Be in a group where all characters are level 30+;
- - Finish the one-off entry quest - "A Hallowed Eve" (Speak with NPC Arika or Saia).
- After you finish the dialogue, you’ll receive Cursed Circus Box.
The box includes one Circus Card: Harlequin, usable only within the dungeon.
It can be traded and sold, and you can also acquire it from [Event] Yume's Regard.
Quests:
- Inside the dungeon, receive a one-time quest from NPC Dana: " [Event] Assault on the Nightmare Circus".
- The reward is Rukibuki Circus Troupe Bonus Entry Scroll. The scroll is tradable, Reuse Time: 1s
- Completing "[Event] Assault on the Nightmare Circus" unlocks another repeatable quest "[Event] Into the Nightmare" rewarding a Dream-Gilded Key.
- Your mission is to beat Rukibuki 10 times. The quest can be repeated.
Walkthrough:
When you enter, you'll turn into a
Khum-gom (a bear).
And your HP will increase by 500 000 points.
Additional tips:
- Gear doesn't matter here. No need for armor. All skills are inactive. Food, drinks, and scrolls aren't usable.
- All buffs disappear upon entry, except chant mantras activated before stepping in, enhanced running, awakening, courage scrolls, and crit. strike scrolls.
- Only the running scroll is effective in here. During transformation, all attack and casting speeds, as well as damage, are fixed.
Khum-gom skills:
Additional tips:
- The ability "Renewed Vigor" functions only near IU’s cage at the center. It affects all group members not further than 37 meters from IU.
- It's wise to use this ability sequentially or according to voice communication, based on necessity.
Harlequin transformation:
- Using the Circus Card from the quest spawns a unique harlequin. "Nightmare Harlequin" is visible only to you, the summoner, and used by the summoner.
- Once summoned, talk to your harlequin to gain the nightmare's strength, transforming you into a Jester.
This grants you an additional 1,000,000 HP.
Jester abilities:
The dungeon consists of 3 main activity zones:
- 1 - Ariate's Cage - healing
- 2 - Left monster trail
- 3 - Right monster trail
Guide:
1. Upon entry, you become a bear. However, Jesters are key for success.
2. Divide into 2 groups.
3. IU's cage is in the center, break the lock to start (The quest progresses for the whole group).
- After breaking the chains, you'll see a short film, which can be skipped, as the monsters will already appear and start moving toward you.
- Rukibuki will appear 4min 45sec after busting the lock.
4. Without a map, here's a rough idea of object locations.
5. The first team tackles monster on the left (2nd trail), the other on the right (3rd trail).
- Catch monsters at the start of the trail.
- It's a must to occasionally run to IU's cage (1) for healing as it restores 40,700 HP and using Renewed Vigor heals some HP instantly followed by periodic heals.
6. After two minutes in battle with the monsters, you'll be notified of Mistress Viloa's arrival. (she's a fancy version of our beloved Madame Bovariki, now with a "cat paw" weapon)
7. Defeat her in 50 seconds. If you beat her quick, go heal at the cage.
- Once Mistress Viloa is down, the next boss spawns instantly.
- If you're late, she just goes away and the next boss, Harlequin Lord Reshka, shows up.
- There's no rush to grab Mistress Viloa's loot immediately; it'll remain till after the dungeon. Take her down and start tackling Harlequin Lord Reshka.
8. You’ve got 1 min and 30 sec to topple Harlequin Lord Reshka before he either disappears or self-destructs. During the fight, 12 enchanted circus chests appear.
9. Destroy the chests pronto, whilst continuing on the boss. Failure leads to unleashing a wave of monsters.
10. Post-red chest destruction, blue ones appear. You must be swift with these too. Delegate 1-2 players to handle chests, leaving others on the boss.
- Not meeting Viloa's and Reshka's time challenges means no treasure key sack for you.
11. After Harlequin Lord Reshka falls, Nightmare Lord Heiramune makes his grand entrance:
- Keep an eye on him since duplicates and other monsters will spawn.
12. Heiramune summons pairs of monsters for trails 2 and 3. They’re weak, so staying near the cage prevents harm, as mass attacks handle them.
13. With Heiramune's defeat, a scene rolls, and prize chests appear: 4-7 large ones needing 3 keys each and 18 small ones requiring 1 key. Obtain keys through quests, Heiramune defeats, or from Viloa and Reshka sacks or combining 3 key parts.
14. Loot your bosses.
15. Unlock the chests.
