Mirror of Scarlet Desire — Dungeon Guide (Levels 1–4)

The dungeon is available in four difficulty levels. The main challenge is group coordination: most mechanics are tied to positioning and timely interaction with objects on the arena.

First Boss — Rotar

This boss requires high coordination and precise positioning from the group. Three key mechanics, each dangerous in its own way.

🔷Geometric Shapes

Before the attack, colored geometric shapes appear under each group member and close to the boss.

• Initially stand close to Rotar — this is critical for reaction speed
• As soon as the shapes appear — immediately STEP ON your shape (your color)
• Stepping on someone else's shape = death
• If you can't find yours — don't step on any: you'll take ~80% HP damage, but it's survivable
• You do NOT need to STAND on the shape!

⛓️Totems on Geometric Shapes and Bonds (70% HP)

The main and most dangerous mechanic of the boss. Shapes with totems appear in a circle around the arena, and players are bound by bonds to OTHER players' totems.

• Each player must destroy the totem above their own color
• However: bonds link you to other players' totems — help allies hit their targets
• While breaking totems, the boss continues attacking — dodge his abilities

🟣Orbs of Vows

Periodically, purple totems appear on the platform, each linked to one or two players (depending on difficulty level).

• The linked player CANNOT break the totem they are bound to!
• Your allies must quickly switch to destroying the totems before they detonate!
• One orb-totem explosion — damage across the entire platform (survivable)

Second Boss — Robstino

Significantly easier than the first. The main rule is to carefully watch your step and properly clear the arena of flowers.

🌸Explosive Flowers

The boss randomly summons a large number of flowers across the arena.

• Don't get too close — a single flower explosion (the affected area is shown as a red field) deals ~60–70% HP
• Two flowers at once = instant death
• Carefully detonate flowers while staying away from the group
• Use the red zones with outward arrows that the boss places on players — direct them at flowers to burn several at once (without hitting allies)

⚫Field Slash

Robstino slashes the arena with a line that turns into a black path; walking on it deals heavy damage.

• Run away — the lines deal heavy damage
• You can run across them — they don't kill instantly.

Transition Phase — Fire Arcade

After defeating Robstino, activate the mirror in his room to teleport. Before the final chamber, there is a corridor of traps.

🔥Fire Walls and Archers

• Dodge the moving fire walls in time
• 3–4 level Illusions of Kromede appear in the corridor, shooting in a straight line — each hit deals damage and can root you in place = death

Final Boss — Kromede's Desolation

The fight consists of a series of punishing phases that test the entire team's reaction. Seven mechanics — some appear only on higher difficulty levels.

☠️Poison Zones

A safe zone forms around Kromede, and projectiles begin falling on players from above.

1. Group up, preferably at the edges of the circle
2. Wait for the projectiles to land
3. Immediately move away — poison puddles appear at the landing site (~5 seconds)
4. Leave a small space near the boss — melee classes need room to deal damage

🪞Mirror Puzzle

Mirrors appear on the arena with numbers and icons of one of three special skills: note, ghost, or girl.

• Number = number of players who must simultaneously use the corresponding skill at that mirror
• Tier 3 May require up to 2 players per mirror
• Tier 4 Up to 3 players per mirror

👁️Cone Attack — Finding the Real Mirror

8 mirrors appear close around Kromede. All show a girl's face — except one.

1. Stay near the boss
2. Quickly look around the circle — find the mirror without a reflection
3. Stand behind it or in front of it
4. Kromede will deliver a powerful blow to the rest of the arena area

🎯Damage Split

A small red circle with inward-pointing arrows lights up under one player.

• You have 3–4 seconds — the entire group must run inside the circle
• Damage is split among all players inside

💥Red Field and Purple HeartsTier 3–4

If a player is far from the team, a red field (medium-sized) appears under their feet, which explodes.

• All players hit by the explosion will get a purple heart marker above their head
• A player with the heart marker who receives a second explosion dies instantly
• Strategy: As soon as the phase starts — spread out
• Once the heart marker appears above your head, remove the debuff with cleanse: Cleric / Chanter, or a yellow Healing Potion

🛡️Domes Tier 4 only

Green fields appear under all four players' feet — the future locations of the domes.

1. Carefully spread out around the boss so the fields DO NOT overlap (the boss hits with a cone and can destroy all domes at once)
2. The entire group enters one dome
3. Watch who Kromede is targeting — as soon as the attack lands, smoothly move to the next dome before the used one disappears!

💖Control Phase — Run Through the Hearts (Stagger)

You have exactly 20 seconds to reach Kromede across the entire arena and break her stagger bar. By this point, keep all stagger skills ready; 2 characters are enough to fully charge the stagger.

Two types of hearts appear along the path:

Movement rules:

1. Run together, break pink hearts strictly one at a time
2. The first player breaks a heart — yields the path, waits for the marker to fade
3. The second player breaks the next one, and so on
4. Once you reach Kromede — deal maximum stagger damage
