    How is this mini-game Phantom Labyrinth supposed to work. You take massive damage no matter where you are, in a zone out of a zone and all the NCP to shoot are in one massive zone. Any hints?

    Ahoy Bawdyn!

    Your main goal is to defeat 4x Creeper located around Gantril and then face the Gantril himself.

    On top of that you need to constantly move in circle to avoid being damaged by the moving flames.

    Please note that you can use / activate some of your action items like Windstorm, Swiftstone to make it a bit easier.


    Ahoy metaxa*fmf!

    Cursed souls can be found only within the Dungeon.

  5. So, Rymar are we supposed to stay in the yellow circles that move to avoid damage, because I try that and got wipe out and the fact windstorms barely work It should be reworked It's hard, lil boats don't have a chance

    I've gone in three times now and I can kill the 4 creepers, but then can't even get to the boss without sinking as I think it starts shooting you once the creepers are gone. I don't even see it before I've already taken massive damage. Windstorms don't matter if you can't see it. I've gone in with my most defensive preset, I've used the pumpkin power to move faster. Even once I start hitting the boss, it has so much HP that I don't hardly make a dent before I'm sunk. Since this map is required for a quest, it should be at least possible to achieve. As FriarTuck said above, a smaller boat has no chance. I'm not a small boat and I can't do it. The reentry cost in emblems goes up so much each time too.

    This mini-game is this event's show stopper (so far). They need to change it.

    No, you are supposed to avoid them at any cost.


    Ahoy Bawdyn!

    You can heal when moving around and use your amulets for extra VP, then once close to boss you can use Dragonfires and Homing Mines.

    Please note that once Creepers are dead you can find a safe spot next to one of the flames of Gantril where only boss will deal damage to you and you won't have to move your ship.

    I've been using amulets. I haven't got close enough to the boss for a homing mine. Dragonfires don't add much damage, so that wouldn't help unless I was getting close to defeating it, but I hardly get a couple of shots in before I'm sunk. I try to keep out of those damage areas (is that what you are calling flames of Gantril?), but movement in there is so slow, even with the pumpkin power, it's hard to avoid them completely. The gaps between them are so small that you can't move towards the boss without some contact.

    This mini game is NOT fun at all. If I need to beat it to do any additional quests, then I'm hooped. If it's the daily, then that's even more reason to change it so it's possible to complete it.

    EDIT: I finally got it. The dragonfires did help (I hadn't noticed that it gave me 6 to shoot in there). I still think it needs to hit less and the damage zones need to create less damage and be smaller. And the rewards were not worth doing it if not for the quest.

    It is not an easy minigame, it will take a few times to understand the safe paths and how to play it. When I first tried when they came out with the map, it wasn't any pleasure figuring it out. That is my stance on the mini game.

    As far as the base event, I applaud BP for (probably) listening to players in regard to the admirals. The admiral only map was an unfair advantage for players and difficult for those who needed them for questing. Excluding that map from this year is the best call I can see that they made. Also adding currency to every npc, including the spawns, well needed. It trumps the fact that you do not get as many souls from each one.

    Which leads to Atlantis. From at least what I earn, it is a loss of ammunition and orichalcum. The npc do not give enough reimbursement for how much you have to shoot. Takes ~75 torpedoes for me to kill a 20 mill one, and I get 28 orichalcum and 4 torpedo back. It is a net loss shooting these ships and do need improvement in that aspect.

    All in all, so far this event is great compared to other years and looking forwards to getting some upgrades for my boat. Thank you.

    2025-10-23 19:40:17
    You received 1 x Midnight Mare. if you have a npc setup it works you go right then once all 4 creepers are gone you go left to avoid the yellow circles.

    Don't know how anyone is finishing this thing. Tried right, then left as suggested, that didn't make a bit of difference. By the time I get to Gantril he sinks me in seconds cuz the circles have already nearly killed me. It would be doable if my boat had more maneuverability, but it is so darn slow, even with speed buff. Can't concentrate on killing the NPCs cuz busy going back and forth to the darn menu to hit heal (which is nearly useless) then speed, then heal, etc etc. Either slow down the circles or give us more maneuverability. I've been stuck on this since yesterday, it should NOT be this hard. Another event item ruining the experience - isn't it supposed to be fun?

    Rymar, where is this safe space you mention??? I have not found any such thing in there after the creepers...

    Bawdyn - what do you mean by "it gave me 6 to shoot in there"? I have thousands of them in stock...

    Ahoy Tergrinder!

    Please do not create multiple posts (one after another) if you wish to add something to your post please use EDIT option.

    Have you tried assigning your repair to a key? This is much easier.

    Everyones speed is equal in this map, so it is doable, in fact I can do it without being hit even once by any of the circles.


    Ahoy!

    Safe - as to no damage from circle is applied on you.

    Below you can see a few "safe spots", additionally don't forget to activate Hailstorm when close to Gantril to boost your damage!

    Hope this helps.

    Hi, I have two questions about Dungeon:

    1.- Why temporal ship upgrades last less than other dungeons events?

    2.- What is the logic to gain same rewards on higher levels if all NPC have more HP and more damage? I mean, I0m in the point that I start every run on level 6 - 1, but the rewards are the same that on level 1 - 1!
    Why my effort is not rewarded accordly? I really want to understand.

    Thanks.

    Ahoy lude1962!

    Samhain Savage - this ranking display the time achieved within Labirynth Map
    Headhunter - this rank display your progress within the Dungeon


    Ahoy wil32!

    As far as I know temporal buffs last longer than in last year, however these will dissapear from your account when you leave dungeon hub.

    Same rewards on higher levels? Well... I don't think that you get same rewards :d sometimes you need to be higher on the "stage" to obtain additional loot :)
