The VH mode is hard to clear for many people, but once you get the hang of it nightmare isn't that hard to clear.

Theif lv 50, Paladin lv 35, Sage lv 30(with no nodes done yet) is somewhat stable for me to repeat this ugly frog, but I still can't do the missions done yet.

Nightmare version is just the stage having tons of more minions and they hit like a truck, so taking advantage of CDG to get many boons as possible, sacrifice two of your characters when facing Mardaw (restart if one of them fell down during fighting the minions). The frog itself doesn't have a noticeable HP difference.

The picture has me less than 10 seconds left to beat it, but once I adjusted the gameplay, almost a minute is left for me. If I abuse the Ice shards and archery rolls, it is faster.

Since this event has 40 days left, those who have unlocked advanced vocations would be more than enough to clear this

​

The red portal which leads to the boss in middle during the shrine is a bonus for those who can clear it with an additional memory and some people get lucky here and find a A or even S rank memory.

Anyway, usually the boss is the same boss but quite a simplified and much easier version than the real one at the end of the stage. Even dragon lord (past event) didn't use his special AOE attack at all which instantly kills a unit if you don't (can't) stun him within the limited short time.

But when I leaped into this red portal, this ugly mother froging toad Mardaw spams his AOE, and the delusions of him seem to have the same durability which makes totally no sense at all.

Most people who aren't whales can't clear this and would have to sadly pass this red portal since the only way to clear this shrine is make sure every unit is alive until the end and sacrifice each unit for those two AOE attacks.

Not only this issue but many elements of the shrine seem to be bugged or overlooked. Terrible experience till now

​

This is my first run, and I find it so hard this time. Frankly I am not a brilliant person so I need advice to do things.

Current units are

Warrior lv 51 ( Paladin lv 36). Eldric's sword +1

Mage lv 51 (Sage lv 32) Shiverstaff, Queen's whip +1

Theif lv 50 ( Waiting for ranger which sadly comes after gauntlet ends) crystal claws+4

With every memory being S rank except those rare ones and this recent event ones.

Somehow will be able to level up Paladin and Sage up to lv 40 just before gauntlet ends.

I don't think I will be able to pull this electric whip which summons a STAND.

---

Thanks guys :) I forgot to mention that I have all general pool 3 star weapons (falcon sword etc) all being ascending +1, have ice spear +1

---

Guys, can I pass 120,000 without the new STAND USER whip? I don't have enough gems and tickets to pull it and want to save those till this event is just about to end and pull at once.

​

After beating up that metal clanker, he drops two silver chests which only has A or S rank.

And both are S rank. Maybe this old junk robot had bonded with me getting his springs daily beaten up, and as a farewell gift ;)

Thank you Killer machine, I will miss you even though the grind was so gruesome and tedious

10 daily keys full, and more to receive ;)

11K exp for a hard mode clear means 110,000 Exp + @ and node stones for the advanced vocations :)

​

Just one little node stone short to have a decent upgrade..

Of course I don't have any left to purchase in the event store..

Does anyone know how many times in total the quests should be cleared for each world?

​

The current hardest CO-OP difficulty EX had little to no players playing it since maybe it was too hard.

I waited for 180 seconds and still the game failed to search players to run with me, instead of refusing to enter the stage the game lets me in ALONE.. and yes or course I was obliterated the moment I set my foot into the dungeon..

I mean, of course finding nobody to play together really isn't a expected situation or being really low possibility to happen, but maybe they overlooked this feature developing the game

​

Luckily, I was very fond of the mage vocation and didn't ditch it, and I leveled up the GARBAGE vocation priest since I just wanted to level it up and totally forget about it, but suddenly they announced the sage and I am ready suddenly with no other requirements to be met ;).

My Paladin (other unit) is stuck in his late lv 20's but still not spamming the metal slime tickets yet.

The mage is so wonderful in this game (for now). High explosive magic damage and the gauge auto fills up fast for CDG, I still can't understand why some people gave up the mage vocation for the priest which only slowly heals the hp gradually which is outrun very much by the boons healing swords and healing sphere.

Everyday the metal slime tickets (32.7K) are slowly but steadily piling up + @ with the event tickets.. This is satisfying and I hope they release the sage before this Mardaw event ends.. I want to try out the Magical beast and clear Mardaw nightmare EX just once.

---

Edit: Sage CONFIRMED tomorrow (7/21) but not battlemaster (thief lv 50 + martial arts lv 50).

People are speculating it to be released two weeks later or so

​

I did clear all event stages on chapter 2, and yet one doesn't admit I have done it. (2-1)

Others are marked as done.

​

And it was the second difficulty I failed with a lv 51 mage (11000 BP) on the second wave several times.

The monsters just ignore every attack with tons of hp, march to the mirror and crack it being very fragile. Or blast from a distance.

Once there was even a top 100 player from season 2 gauntlet, and the result being same.

Are the developers expecting the players to give it up and wait until the sage gets released??

I thought I wouldn't say this but.. this is even more stupid than dragonlord Co-op. And there is even an EX level..

I can't imagine the horrors.

Anybody cleared it?

---

Edit: They fixed it and it is quite pleasant to play

​

Literally garbage, glad that finally I don't have to pay attention to the worst vocation in this game ;)

---

Edit: Someone asked me nonsense claiming why is this post AI, and I just blurred out the main character's nickname since it has some personal information, which of course has nothing to do with Ai or whatever nonsense

​

I lack the node stones to upgrade the priest, but do think that this game would add a higher level with much better drops so it being a waste to spam these away just to open these nodes right away.

​

Seriously, whose idea was this?

A profile background for 200000 currency.. I mean I would understand if this stage was clearable by auto mode but I don't know if it is possible, and playing the most optimal paths (selecting treasure chest route or ??? Routes, Or the hard opponent route) while using my time 15 minutes per round and real life energy in the very hard mode still only gives me around several K of it.

​

Now I just need to collect 179 more copies of this D rank to make a beautiful S rank 😜😜😜

​

​

*SOB*

​

​

I was manually playing this stage to find and defeat this rare spawn mini devil monster, and there was a slight problem.

​

I cleared a stage without this gremlin appearing, and then the game offered me to watch an ad with a stupid reward (common memory which sucks).

​

​

​

After I skipped that ad, Just after that play and on this round I found him. Sorry for the long explanation.

​

​

If I quit during this play, and later retry it again after playing other stages, will this specific monster appear garunteed? Since I didn't finish the stage and left it.

​

​

What I am hoping is defeating him, and then watch an AD and maybe get lucky so I can get a A or S rank of him.

​

​

(His boons, healing swords which I need for the nightmare difficulty of the ruins event since they don't give you that boons only in that stage, and he has to be S rank)

​

Never knowing a loved one's embrace.. hmm.. 🤔

​

The balance of the hard difficulty (easiest) was of course Ice golem being the easiest to automaton being the hardest, but the Nightmare difficulty adds different negative conditions and the robot stage is the most generous.

​

Not only the disadvantages, but the monsters in the first and second shrines are too buffed up.

​

The fat white yeti slaps more than half of your HP with one hit, and if you don't have Eldric's shield which negates the freeze status by simply stepping on the ice floor, you get stuck and beaten to death in few seconds regardless of having a bulky warrior or not.

​

The minions also delete almost half of your HP in Wrecktor nightmare version by a simple hit. (90% defense nerf)

​

​

Interestingly, Automaton minions are only slightly buffed and the boss also is only slightly stronger while the gimmicks are totally the same.

​

If you could beat Automaton at around lv 40, you should have no problem at clearing it at lv 45. No big difference at all. (Lv 40 could be done if you have good reflexes and appropriate equipment, memory)

​

Even the timer is generous. Even though the Wrecktor nightmare stage is very unforgiven and approaching it with attack speed and damage boosted while ditching the healings, it is almost impossible to clear within time while two hits is a certain death.

​

The Automaton Nightmare has the timer 1 minute and half left for me. You really should try it out if you have thunder claws or Eldric's sword. (Or the wind attribute Falcon's sword ascending at +3 which I am sorry to explicitly say that weapon really is trash)

​

The exp for clearing the easy mode is 6K, nightmare mode 12K (half or one third of the metal slime ticket)

​

Currently, I am close to the ceiling being lv 50 and BP 10.5 K (11K if I equip the equipment which doesn't match this event), only have the ice spear with no duplicates, and plan to save my remaining rubies.

​

Even though the event lasts about 30 days being left, I think there is very little room to improve and get stronger unless I pull several duplicates of this ice spear.

​

I am not a completeist and only charged little money on this game so I understand I can't perfectly do everything, but do wonder if I can do it which seems very unlikely.

​

Actually I get only the B rank, and this A rank was really lucky. Fighting with the claws, getting double attack, triple attack, all sorts of optical boons in order and surviving with just 2 hp left while abusing shiver staff crackerjack at the most, scoring A rank just before the timer went out
