The Frightening Carnival
The celebration runs from 28.10 till 06.11 (inclusive)
Osaye was sitting on her bedroom floor painstakingly turning a massive teddy bear inside out, a gift once given to her by the elusive Tayga. As she was pulling out the final bits of stuffing, a knock echoed through the room.
As luck would have it, there stood Tayga, the original gift-giver, utterly confused.
- Hey, why are you tearing that apart? What did I do wrong? What has upset you so much to destroy my present with such fury? – Tayga was genuinely baffled.
- Let me explain. My friend's in a real bind.
- What friend? Are they so hungry they eat stuffing?!
- Princess IU. The sinister Nightmare Lord Heiramune has captured her, hiding her away in his haunted amusement park. The only way in is disguised as a bear... Can you come to my aid?
Osaye's gaze held a pleading sincerity.
The ranger hesitated only for a moment, then imagined the thrill of vanquishing the circus villain with his bow, basking in the admiration of grateful onlookers. It was decided.
Now, all they needed was another bear suit to don...
A unique dungeon is available during the event: Access it with the NPCs.
- Arika (Sanctum)
- Saia (Pandaemonium)
- To enter the Frightening Carnival you must meet these requirements:
- - You must join with all characters of level 30+;
- - Finish the introductory quest - "An Enchanted Evening" (Initiate dialogue with either Arika or Saia).
- Upon completing the conversations, receive Cursed Circus Box.
The Cursed Circus Box reveals one Circus Token: Juggler, usable exclusively within the dungeon.
These tokens are tradable and sellable. They are also obtainable from [Event] Yume's Appreciation.
Tasks:
- Inside the dungeon acquire another 1-time mission from Dana: " [Event] Attack on the Frightening Carnival".
- On completion, receive Rukibuki Carnival Crew Extra Entry Scroll. It is tradeable, with a Reuse Time of: 1s
- After concluding the quest "[Event] Attack on the Frightening Carnival" you can acquire a repeatable mission "[Event] Within the Nightmare" yielding Dream-Encrusted Key.
- Your challenge is to overcome Rukibuki 10 times. The mission can be repeated.
Instructions:
Upon entry, transform into a
Khum-gom (bear form).
Gaining a bonus of 500 000 HP.
Further details:
- Armor has no influence in the dungeon, proceeding without gear is viable. Skills are inactive. Food, drink, and scroll usage inside the dungeon is restricted.
- All existing enhancements are stripped upon entry. Only Chanter mantras used prior entry, run speed, awakening, and fortitude scrolls, as well as physical and magical critical strike scrolls, continue to have effect.
- However, the only buff active within the dungeon is the run scroll, due to fixed attack and casting speeds, as well as standardized damage in the transformation.
Khum-gom abilities:
Further details:
- The ability "Renewed Vigor" is effective only near IU's enclosure in the heart of the area. It impacts you and fellow team members within 37 meters of IU.
- This skill should be utilized individually or coordinated via voice chat depending on circumstances.
Juggler Metamorphosis:
- Activating the Circus Token acquired from the mission summons your private juggler, "Nightmare Juggler", visible and usable solely by you.
- After invoking the juggler, converse with it to harness the nightmare's power. This bestows upon you Jester form.
Gaining an additional 1 000 000 HP.
Jester Abilities:
The dungeon splits into 3 main zones of activity:
- 1 - Ariate's Haven - for recuperation
- 2 - Path of the Left Monsters
- 3 - Path of the Right Monsters
Guidance:
1. Upon entering, become bears, yet Jesters are vital for a triumphant completion.
2. Separate into two squads.
3. At the heart, you'll spot the IU's cage with its lock. Break the lock to commence (The quest will progress for the entire squad).
- After the chains break, a brief clip plays, which can be skipped, as monsters have already appeared and approach.
- Rukibuki arrives exactly 4min 45sec after the lock shatters.
4. A map is absent in the dungeon, yet here are approximate positions of essential objects.
5. One squad deals with left monsters (2nd trail) and the other with right ones (3rd trail).
- Intercept the monsters at the trail's start.
- Periodically visit IU's enclosure (1) as she heals by 40,700 HP and upon using Renewed Vigor, you'll receive a burst heal and periodic enhancements thereafter.
6. Two minutes into battling the monsters, Mistress Viloa makes her entrance (her fans adore Madame Bovariki, she's merely jazzed up with a "feline claw" weapon).
7. The group has 50 seconds to take her down. If she falls sooner, take advantage to heal at the enclosure.
- Upon defeating Mistress Viloa, the next boss immediately emerges.
- Fail the time constraint, she fades, clearing the stage for Harlequin Lord Reshka.
- Loot Mistress Viloa at leisure; she'll remain until the dungeon concludes. Post-defeat, shift focus to Harlequin Lord Reshka.
8. 90 seconds to overcome Harlequin Lord Reshka before he either falls or self-destructs. Twelve mystical circus crates appear during the battle.
9. Destroy the crates hastily while maintaining pressure on the boss. Neglect results in a monster flood.
10. After red crates are demolished, a set of blue ones emerge. Rapid destruction is necessary; allocate 1-2 players to handle the crates, the rest focus on the boss.
- Failing to meet the time targets for eliminating Mistress Viloa and Harlequin Lord Reshka means foregoing the treasure key quilt.
11. Following Harlequin Lord Reshka's defeat, Nightmare Lord Heiramune descends:
- Designate him, as he conjures a twin and additional allies during combat.
12. Nightmare Lord Heiramune summons dual monsters on each pathway (2nd and 3rd). They are inconsequential and can be neutralized effortlessly if proximity to the enclosure is maintained.
13. Upon defeating Nightmare Lord Heiramune, a clip will play and prize crates spawn. Expect 3-7 larger crates (elite), necessitating 3 keys each, and 18 smaller crates, requiring a single key. Keys are awarded for finishing the "[Event] Within the Nightmare/[Event] Nightmare Lord Heiramune's Stratagem Continues", off Heiramune himself, from Viloa and Reshka's prize bags, or by merging 3 key fragments.
14. Claim the boss rewards.
15. Unlock the prizes.
