Content

Strong Boss

The Strong Boss chapter allows you to fight stronger versions of bosses previously encountered throughout your Version 1 journey. Selecting a boss from the Strong Boss list will put you in an instance against the selected boss with your party. Initially, you may have several "??????" entries in your Strong Boss chapter. These can be unlocked by the following methods:

  • Encountering the boss throughout your adventures (story, sidequests)
  • Entering the instance of another player that started the Strong Boss and defeating it

Strong Boss content can be played an unlimited number of times, but you are only rewarded loot from the purple chest once a day. This content follows the daily reset times.

A full party wipe will have you exit the instance, but you will be able to enter the instance and try again. In the event you have yet to do the iron safe quest chain, you will not lose your gold on death.

The following is a list of Strong Boss monsters currently in the game:

Trial Gate

The Trial Gate chapter allows you to fight previously encountered versions of monsters seen throughout the Trial Gates in Version 2. Selecting a monster from the Trial Gate list will put you in an instance against the selected monster with your party. Initially, you may have a few "??????" entries in your Trial Gate chapter. These can be unlocked by the following methods:

  • Encountering the monster's Trial Gate throughout your adventures (story, sidequests)
  • Entering the instance of another player that started the Trial Gate and defeating it

The host of the Trial Gate instance can only defeat each trial gate once per week. You are not restricted from playing with others in their Trial Gate instances and will still be rewarded items and Experience for participating. This content follows the weekly reset times.

Players at later stages of the game still find Trial Gate to be rewarding as it's a quick way to amass lots of Experience in a short time. There is also an approximate 50%~ chance for jewels to drop from each completion.

A full party wipe will have you exit the instance, but you will be able to enter the instance and try again. In the event you have yet to do the iron safe quest chain, you will not lose your gold on death.

Maximizing Experience Gain

To effectively make use of your time in Trial Gates, ensure you're entering with (at a minimum) a Bonus Orb buff and a food buff of some type. If you're below Lv99, the Angel Slime Hat should also be equipped. Doing all 15 Trial Gates with these buffs should net you approximately 2,048,000~ experience. Without the Angel Slime Hat, you're looking at more around 1,175,000~ experience. If you're leveling a monster, make sure to also use a Nurture Perfume.
