Forbidden Abyss is an individual dungeon located south of Shanghai. The dungeon may be opened with a [Sea King's Scale], obtainable from [Pointry] for 100 battle points. Once the dungeon is opened, members of a party have up to one hour to complete the dungeon before it closes again. If all monsters in the dungeon are defeated within the time limit, [Orb of Forbidden Abyss] will be mailed to each player present within the dungeon. Here’s a comprehensive Forbidden Abyss: Individual Dungeon guide shared by Trinhypie for the My Atlantica Online Forums. All credits goes to him.

5. Advice and Suggestions

Hello! Welcome to my Ind Dungeon 90 Guide. Here, I’ll try to break down the Dungeon and hopefully help out players that are new to this dungeon. This guide will contain all the information you’ll need to participate and run this dungeon along with helpful hints and advice to help complete the dungeon for the reward. Any questions, feel free to ask or if there is anything you’d like to add to this guide, be more than welcome to post below

In Atlantica, there are a myriad of things to do. One major part of a higher levels play time is dedicated to the individual dungeons of certain levels. At the moment, there is IND 90, 94, 98, 101, and 105. You may participate in these dungeons once you reach the designated level (Level 90 for 90, 94 for 94, etc etc.. ) and have acquired a key.

These dungeons allow only 5 mercenaries to battle along side you. If a pre-determined formation has not been set up, it will automatically select your 5 highest leveled mercenaries to join you in battle.**

You must kill all the mobs within the allotted time. You may go in a party (Up to 3 players) to clear the dungeon. Once all of the dungeon is cleared, a reward will be sent to your mailbox.

However, the dungeon rewards aren’t the only beneficial things you’ll receive. The mobs offer great experience points for you and your mercenaries, as well as great loot from equipment boxes to valuable materials.

**(To configure your formation, Go to My Info -> Formation on the top of your game screen. Then proceed to check and un-check the ‘Join Battle’ option under the desired mercenaries.)

The first thing before even considering doing IND 90 is to obtain a Key. The key to this dungeon is called Sea King’s Scale. You can buy one from the market or visit the Pointry, in Rome, and exchange Battle Points for a Key. [ Depending on server, the price should roughly be 1 - 1.5mil. It costs 100 Battle Points at the Pointry ]

Next, supplies. It can’t be stressed enough that you’ll need enough Barley Bimbimbap and Simmered Carp or Ambrosias to last you while you are in the dungeon. Reason being is that you lose a lot of time teleporting back to town purchasing supplies. So, make sure you have your arrows, guardian stones, bullets, food, life potions, and etc. stocked up!

Right click the Key once you are ready! Once the key is activated, a window will pop up on the left side of your screen with the information for the Forbidden Abyss. You can teleport there without a license so long as you have enough will. Once you are there, walk into the portal you’re placed in front of, and you will have 60 minutes to kill 41 mobs and one boss.

For this guide and beginners, it would be best to have a full party to partake in the dungeon. 2 people may go together while 1 solo’s one side of the dungeon.

Note : It’s recommended that the person who will solo has mercs geared well and his whole party (including himself) level 90+. Also, a blessing potion/title may be needed.

You will begin at the white dot, the red dot is where the boss is.

There are two paths that can be taken; however, in the beginning of each path, especially the one following the right upper side of the map, the mobs tend to join battles because they are close together. For this reason, it’s best if the party works together to clear out the beginning of each path. As the team progresses through the dungeon, they should meet up in the middle (near the boss) and clear the mobs as best they can around him to ensure a single fight against the boss.

There are 4 types of monsters and 1 boss in this dungeon.
They will only attack in groups of 5 at most and with the boss, there will be 5 mobs and the boss to kill.

i. Clawed Guard [ Lvl. 101 ]

Attack Power : 3126-4590
Magic : Blaze Sword

Notes : He is much like the mercenary Swordsman. He has a flame based attack extremely similar to Flame Sword. He has high defense as well as HP. These mobs will always be in the front acting as tanks.

ii. Deep-Sea Guardian [ Lvl. 100 ]

Attack Power : 2431-3601
Magic Skill : Freezing Axe

Notes : Average Hp/Def. Try to kill these mobs quickly as they can freeze your mercs.

iii. Sea Palace Head Maid [ Lvl. 102 ]

Attack Power : 3443-5045
Magic Skill : Silence

Notes : Compared to the last two mobs, this mob has the least HP/Def; however, she does a lot of damage with her normal attack.

iv. Sea King’s Royal Guards [ Lvl. 103 ]

Attack Power : 3451-5081
Magic Skill : Flame Rain

Notes : Much like the head maid, this mob has low Hp/Def but has high attack power and an AoE Spell similar to Meteor Strike.

v. Dead Sea King { Boss } [ Lvl. 106 ]

Attack Power : 9232-10093
Magic Skill : Great Vortex
Other : Stun/Freeze/Silence Immunity

Notes : In short, he is strong, however, will not take ages to kill. Depending on your party’s team, it will only take a few turns to kill mobs and slowly start bringing him down. His AoE skill will hurt just as much as his normal attack. [With moderate gears, it may 1 shot mercenaries] Scrolls may not be needed depending upon how quickly you can bring down mobs; however, they are recommended to get the job done quickly.

- His formation -

SKRG = Sea King’s Royal Guards
CG = Clawed Guard

x – Dead Sea King – x
SKRG – x – SKRG
CG – CG – CG

If you aren’t using scrolls, the best way, as with most bosses, is to poke a hole and go crazy on the boss. The x’s represent blank spots. However, once you take down the middle Clawed guard, one of the Royal guards will move in front of the boss. Try to take out the SKRG’s while poking the hole in the middle. These guys, with both of their AoE’s will most likely bring your weak magic def mercs to below Half HP, that coupled with any hit from the CG’s or boss, will kill mercenaries fast. General strategy is to clear the mobs and then focus on the boss, but you have to do this generally quickly because the mobs can finish off your mercs or leave them with enough HP fall to the Dead Sea King’s Killer AoE.

Another helpful hint: If you are using Res scrolls, always res AFTER the boss’ AoE, never before. If you Resurrect too early, your mercs can all die from the aoe since they are res’d with Low health. So be careful when you Resurrect.
*He casts his AoE Every 3-4th Turn

- The Orb Of the Forbidden Abyss -

The reward for completing this dungeon is 1 of 4 weapons that you may choose.

Water Dragon Scale Cannon

Type : Cannon
Level : 90 And Above
Attk. Power : 370-440
Dexterity : +34
Intelligence : +34
Class : Artillary/Cannoneer

Dead Sea Wand

Type : Staff
Level : 90 And Above
Attk. Power : 370-490
Vitality : +32
Intelligence : +85
Class : Shaman/Oracle/Monk/Witch/Elementalist/Princess

Bow of Forbidden Abyss

Type : Bow
Level : 90 And Above
Attk. Power : 430-880
Dexterity : +44
Class : Archer/Prophet/Dark Archer

Sea Palace General’s Lance

Type : Spear
Level : 90 And Above
Attk. Power : 720-940
Strength : +57
Class : Spearman/Spartan

These weapons are exceptional for their level and are great to use for your mercs and yourself until the higher leveled gear sets.

- Water Dragon Scales -

From this dungeon you’ll loot many Water Dragon Scales. These can be traded in at Merchant Mecurius (back of Rome Bazaar) for the weapons above. For each weapon it will cost 200 scales to trade, so save them up as they can prove valuable for upgrading gear or a little bit of extra cash.

At first, this dungeon will be difficult. The mobs hit hard, and you may die many times. Hopefully, these tips will help out!

Formation Set Up:
Columns — (x’s will be mercs, o will be empty spots)

x – o – x
x – o – x
x – o – x

Depending on your main, he should be anywhere in the x spots. Generally, up front will be your best tanks. Preferably swordsman (flame resistance). Then second liners, will be damage and the last row may be support.

However, for these dungeons I recommend leaning more towards a heavy damage team. For example, instead of a healer, you can use that spot for a damage mercenary, killing the mobs off quicker.The faster the mobs die, the less need of heals.

Why not a row formation? Remember that one mob in this dungeon can cast freezing Axe on your front line mercenaries. It’s best to lose 2 instead of three. Also, with 3 rows instead of 2, the silence magic of the maids won’t prevent heals (if you decide to bring a healer).

Have all three tiers of Mob Info for all the monsters and boss. The drops can be really beneficial to you and help you save/make money. Also, the basic info can help a lot with survivability as well.

Wait for mobs to separate! If you have a hard time defeating one party of mobs, you will definitely have a problem walking out alive against 2 or even 3 mobs. If they are bunched up, skip them and come back when they aren’t near each other anymore. Just make sure not to forget them!

Check EVERY nook and cranny in the area. While doing the run on your path, make sure you check the curtains, rocks, and around the buildings. The mobs like to wander, so be sure you find them and kill them before you run out of time at the end looking for them. Also, it does take time for the mob counter in the mini window to update. But if you have time left over after the boss, be sure to check just in case.

You can do this dungeon as many times as you like! So if you don’t complete it the first time, there is always another time. **
** There is a 20 hour cool down of the dungeon. So you have to wait 20 hours before you can attempt again.

I’d like to thank you for reading this long and wordy guide. @_@
I really hope it helps you in IND 90 and lets you get those nice weapons or awesome loot!
Have fun and Good Luck

IIIa. Mobs/Boss
IV. Indi 94 Reward
V. Misc.

Hello, there :]
You’ve tumbled upon my INDI 94 Guide!
This will be extremely similar to my IND 90 Guide, however, hopefully just as useful =]
Any questions, comments, add-on’s, or mistakes, please let me know =]

An Individual dungeon for Atlantica is a timed scenario dungeon where you must clear the map of all the mobs.
In all the Indi’s there is 1 boss to kill as well. These dungeons are difficult when given at their level, and may take some time to go through.
However, the experience, loot, and rewards are worth it!

Level Req : 94
Suggested Play : Full Party
Suggested Level : 97

Red Star is where you start.
White star is where the boss is waiting.

Okay, compared to IND 90, this one is much more difficult. Why?
Fliers. The destroyers in the beginning of the dungeon have a chance to Zap AP [ a high chance ] and to make them more annoying, they hurt, and they fly. The difficulty level for this dungeon is raised, so starting this dungeon at level 94 will be extremely difficult.

There are 41 Mobs inculding a Boss that you need to kill within 60 minutes.
The pathways are extremely narrow, so there is a high chance of reinforcements from the enemy side.

With the full party, I suggest Blessing Potion/License + Title in a party of 97+
2 with lowest mercs go through the bottom side and on the top, have the highest player go through that area.
However, the soloer may need help from time to time.
Because this dungeon is slightly more difficult, there might be a time strain, so try to work together and help each other out as best you can.

Also, with this dungeon, I suggest a Flier team and a Ground Team.
Basically, have 2 formations ready for the Fliers and the Ground units (which are after the fliers)
Any of your ranged mercs you have go in the flier team, or spike damage mercs too. (Swordsman &/OR LK) Then for the ground team would be your regular IND formation.

Giant Destroyer :: { Level 103 }

Attack Power : 34160-5190
Type : Animal
Magic : Toxic Sword

- Attack Style -
x – x – x
x – x – x
x – x – x

These mobs are one of the flier mobs in the beginning.
They have average HP/Def and can only be hit by staffs, guns, and bows.
The melee characters must have a magic skill to do any damage to these mobs.
Caution : Their passive magic skill gives them a chance to poison their target which bleeds AP.
Combined with their High attack, the delay caused by the Toxic Sword may render the affected merc dead or unusable the next turn.

-–-

Mad Destroyer :: { Level 104 }

Attack Power : 3523 – 5211
Type : Animal
Magic : Lightning Arrow

- Attack Style -
x – x – x
x – x – x
x – x – x

Same as the Giant Destroyer, but the Lightning Arrow only takes AP once.
These will be paired up with the Giant Destroyers, so they will be able to drain your AP fast.

-–-

Nest Gatekeeper :: { Level 102 }

Attack Power : 3016 – 4256
Type : Animal
Magic : Stone Sword

- Attack Style -
x – x – x
x – x – x
x – x – x

He has higher Hp/Def than the Destroyers. He’ll be used mostly as a tank, but his damage is still pretty high. His magic is passive that can be activated with his normal attack. It adds 10000 Phys Def but takes away about 550-600 Mdef. It also freezes that merc for 2 turns.

-–-

Nest Warrior :: { Level 103 }

Attack Power : 3024 – 4384
Type : Animal
Magic : Blaze Sword

- Attack Style -
x – x – x
x – x – x
x – x – x

He is a copy of the Nest Gatekeeper, but his magic skill is like a swordsman Flame Sword.
He will have the same stats as the gatekeeper and act as a tank as well.

-–-

Arachne’s Bodyguard :: { Level 104 }

Attack Power : 2825 – 3738
Type : Animal
Magic : Holy Guard

- Attack Style -

x – x – x
x – x – x
x – x – x

Low Hp/Def and Lower attack power than the other mobs.
He hits in a cross shape.
He will only HG if there is a prolonged spell on any of the mobs. ie. Freezing Axe/Silence etc etc.

-–-

Follower of Arachne :: { Level 105 }

Attack Power : 3034 – 4042
Type : Animal
Magic : Concentration

- Attack Style -

x – x – x
x – x – x
x – x – x

He should be first priority.
He has a passive magic skill called Concentration. Yep, the very same as our Prophet.
It heals every turn, so the sooner he is down, the faster you can kill the other mobs.
Low Hp/Def and attack power.

-–-

Evil Arachne :: [ Boss ] :: { Level 108 }

Attack Power : 9533 – 10118
Type : Animal
Magic : Judge’s Lightning

- Attack Style -
x – x – x
x – x – x
x – x – x

Here is the lovely boss!
Very high Attack power, so expect her to 1-2 hit your mercenaries.

- Her Formation -
EA – Evil Arachne
GD – Giant Destroyer
NG – Nest Gate Keeper
AB – Arachne’s Bodyguard
FoA – Follower of Arachne

AB – EA – AB
FoA – NG – FoA
GD – NG – GD

Clear out the mobs and go straight for the boss.
She doesn’t have high HP or def for a boss mainly because she has 2 passive healers and a full party to go against you.

Her AoE is Judge’s Lightning, and does moderate damage.
Remember still that all the mobs damage + her AoE may take out many of your mercs, always watch their HP.
Have your ranged focus on the GD’s, HG any weak magic characters on 2nd turn, and have your other merc’s take down any remaining mobs.

If your scrolling, be careful who you set to scroll.
The Arachnes and GD’s can snipe, so there is a huge chance of scrolls being canceled.
[I suggest high dex mercs to scroll {ex. archers} for a higher chance of dodging]

If you need to use a Scroll of Resurrection always use it after the boss’ AoE.
The mercs that are res’d come back with low hp and are stunned, leaving them extremely weak and vulnerable.
If any of the mobs norm attack, it’s better to lose 1-2 mercs than all 5.

Just like all the other Individual Dungeons, there is a reward for Indi 94.

This reward is called Arachne’s Egg.
It includes a sword, shield, gun, and axe.
They all require a minimum level of 90 to use.

- Arachne’s Fang -

Type : Sword
Min Level : 90
Attack Power : 590 -740
Strength : +28
Vitality : +28
Magic Skill Level : +9
Class : Swordsman; Exorcist; Lady Knight; Pirate

-–-

- Thick Larva Shell Shield -

Type : Shield
Min Level : 90
Vitality : +30
Magic Def : 110
Evasion Bonus : +4.5%
Class : Swordsman; Lady Knight; Spartan

-–-

- Destroyer’s Stinger -

Type : Gun
Min level : 90
Attack Power : 460 – 590
Dexterity : +44
Class : Gunner; Inventor; Janissary

-–-

- Gate Keeper’s Sickle -

Type : Axe
Min Level : 90
Attack Power : 590 – 1180
Strength : +38
Vitality : +34
Class : Viking; Beast Trainer; Northern Viking

-–-

- Insect Shells -

These are not rewards, but frequent drops only from this dungeon.

If you collect 200 pieces, you can trade these in at Merchant Mercurious [Back of Rome bazaar] for any of the weapons above.
These can also be sold on the market for some extra gold

-–-

- Formations -

There are 2 ways to do this.
Generally, I keep a 2 column formation.

x – o – x
x – o – x
x – o - x

Keeping my best tanks up front, and my support in the back.
However, almost all of the mobs here snipe and they hit 2 targets.
Potentially taking out 2 mercenaries at once.

The other formation is 2 rows.

x - x – x
o – o – o
x – x – x

The front will be your tanks and the back row your support/main.
This formation is good because it minimizes the ap drain/attack from the Destroyers.
However, the arachne’s hit in a cross shape, potentially damaging a whole row.
Another good point in this formation is seth/brutaling.
It gets the job done quick on bosses.
[ Can do that in the first formation, too, but 3 zerked out mercs works better than two ]

Personally, I recommend the 2 row. The damage will be healed off more effectively. Meaning, if 2 mercs were hit in a column, you’d have to heal both mercs individually, here, in the 2 row, you can heal the whole line.
It also minimizes damage taken from the gatekeepers, with only 1 merc being hit rather than 2.

I did mention support. Going all damage can be risky because all these mobs have a high evasion rate [ especially destroyers ] A dodge can mean delaying a turn causing a death, so to be safe, adding in a healer would be beneficial. A monk would be great as well, HG’ing off the Toxic Sword to prevent another turn of – AP. Either formation set up has room for a monk and a healer. The only downside to those mercs is their low hp/def making them very fragile. It all depends on play style and what you think is best.

Pack scrolls if you need to! Resurrection scrolls, awakening, puri, life’s blessing. If you can afford them, they definitely won’t hurt you.

Always have all the info for the mobs. More loot =
Also, basic info helps with def/attk on the mob.

Don’t fret if you fail. Just never give up, and you can try again after 20 hours.
Try to kill as many mobs as you can to make the run beneficial to you.
Completing it gives a nice reward, but the xp and drops make it just as worthwhile.

-–-

Thank you guys for reading through the guide. I know it’s long and wordy, but I hope it really helps out in this dungeon.
