Tactics for Peaca Intermediate (might contain spoilers)

  Share tactics known and unknown here.
  
  I will share something that I discovered.
  This is for the fourth and fifth floor of Peaca Intermediate dungeon, for those one-eye monsters.
  
  You will want a tower cylinder for this and a lot of blizzard crystals with you.
  Place a barrier spike and then install your cylinder. Target the barrier when the one-eye monsters come close to you.
  
  The challenge will be how you will freeze the monsters before they get to you. There is a way but I will not discuss it since it seems like a bug. Also the chances of freezing this monsters at R9 is very slim, however it is possible to do so. (Not too sure about R1 frozen blast).

  Yes.
  
  But the point of his thread is mostly to alert us of what's coming.
  
  Silly muffin.
  
  Thanks for this, Yogurt. Glad to see that Frozen Blast still has its uses in later dungeons. Can't wait for Wind Alch. Mastery in G13.

  I'm not sure how they did this, but i'm sure this would make steel needle enchants tons easier to get, as ghasts are the main reason people fear this dungeon.

  Fast forward to around 1:20
  
  
  And even if that can't be figured out, Crash shot works wonders on ghasts.

  No, i'm pretty sure it has to do with running to an adjacent room, going from passive to combat mode, then opening the chest. But................. I don't know the technical part.

  1. You'll need to bring several players with varying skill sets.
  2. Important skills:
  Frozen Blast(r5-r1): Needed to break through massive protection, Rage of Wings: Ignores passive defense/invulnerability
  Crash Shot/Elven Magnum Shot: Used to kill Cloakers/Ghasts
  Golem Windmill/Windmill: Needed to trap ghost kings
  Thunder/Blaze: Blaze provides the high damage needed to kill Wights efficiently, Thunder can wall-chain
  Barrier Spikes: Extremely useful for several reasons
  Spear of God/Giant Full Swing: High damage output.
  Spark/Fury of Light: Helps combat passive defense.
  Support Shot: Helps kill Ghost Kings
  Mana Shield/Wings of Eclipse: Tanking
  
  1. Frozen Blast > golem Windmill spam w/support shot (Used to kill Ghost Kings)
  2. Barrier Spikes > Thunder (Used to safely kill monsters through walls)

  the players never seem to get hit when they are mounted.
  
  enlighten us with ghast ai?

  If you watch the video.
  The players (while mounted) run to an adjacent room from the one with the chest, and go from passive to combat mode, then when they are aggrod by the ghasts they run (or try to run) where they changed to combat mode on the mount before the chest was opened.
  
  They mounted their horse because, when aggrod off of the pet when you mount it, the mob aggros the mount instead of the person. So I'm thinking it has to do with the mount being aggrod instead of the player, if you notice theres an elf that never gets off of his mount, and the ghasts that aggro him run to the door aswell.
  
  Here is another video of it.

  Obvious tactic is obvious, aslo it depends on cp, if its 3k+ you would want r5-1

  So the combat stance have something to do with the aggro?
  
  Ya I see the people by the adjacent room, but when the person mounts, the shouldn't the ghast attack the mount? Or does the ghast ai not work that way?

  The ghasts aren't attacking where the mount "IS" but where it was when it entered combat mode.
  
  They also do it with hollow knights in that video....
  So no it's not just ghasts.

  Though you should be warned that, I'm not sure exactly how it works, I based the info above on observations I have made.
  
  For instance, the character recording the video goes into combat mode right as his horse starts running into the chest room, it seems kind of tricky to pull off.

  That was fixed in a recent patch over here, so the developers are aware of this bug.
