If I may add- In the case that you're soloing a mission with multiple bosses (Another Slingshot or Counterattack for example), the room allows you to lure one boss at a time by using the corridor that you enter the room in
In the case that both follow you, keep trying to shake one off by running back and forth between the corner. It can be done, it was how I was able to solo counterattack because there's just no way I could take the Sturdy Ekuloch and Robust Echeloch at the same time (i can post SS if you want)
You can either lure them inside corridor and kill them there or trap one inside and do the other one outside although I don't know how I managed to keep the Robust one stuck inside while the Sturdy followed o_o

For the Slingshot ones, I find it easier to just make them stun each other.

I didn't plan to go too much into boss strategies in this guide. This is more of a guideline thread to give you an idea on what to do.
Again, this and my Perilous Ruins guide requires a LOT of updating. New level reqs, changes to drops, etc.

Total Bonus Mission BP - 45
Defeat Eflame (P) (20BP)
I have actually NEVER run into Eflame (wisp miniboss) while running this level. Really I either have to assume my luck is horrible or it's tucked in some random corner.
It's just a random encounter while going through the dungeon but if you think you're luck is bad, i dced after killing Eflame T_T

What exactly is the point of maxing out BP (other than for those event quests)?

Clarification on the Spider Scroll.
In Brynn's Research, there are two types of spiders: Red Spiders, and Cave Spiders.
Cave Spiders are few in number and they are the ones which drop the scroll

Supposedly a completion-ist's title/reward is given when attained maximum BP.
Never saw it happened though.

We need Red Tyrant for Hoarfrost max Bp I think. So it might work next update.

Anyone know where the blessed magic powder in Culprit Behind the Disturbance? Do they come from items like pots and boxes or from an evil core from the boss?

I believe they drop from objects, albeit rarely...
Your best bet would probably be to keep killing Eflame till he drops one...

I've only ever seen Blessed Magic Powder drop from Erg Pots and Wisps. Breaking random objects only gives regular Magic Powder

From your other guide:
Added since OB:
Source of the Rumor - Level 18 (Boat 2)
155 BP
Unlocked via a questline, Tieve will ask you if you value Health or Money, follow either of them and this should be unlocked on the final step.
Mission BP - 20
Total Bonus Mission BP - 60
Obtain Copper Ore (25BP)
I am only aware of one mining spot at the moment, it's the small one near the Erg pot in the boss room. I'm sure there are more in the usual locations during the level, but good luck getting this to drop.
Credits to Sinned on the next part, but there are also a few Icedredges in this mission that may drop Copper. But again, the drop rate is still very low.
Obtain 3 Rare Ergs (P) (20BP)
Easy enough, there's an Erg pot in the boss room, and Hoarfrost Ergs are suprisingly common when you smash things up.
Equipment Destroyed <5 times (15BP)
Total Oath BP - 75
Win with 2 or fewer players (20BP)
I'd go with 2. It's a pain to solo a triple boss. Try to take down the two weaker ones (not going to mention their names as that's part of the whole pun the quest is based on), they tend to group up as they're both melee type enemies, making hitting both with a Counter or Hurricane simple. After that, usual Final Slingshot strategies.
Win without repairing armor (25BP)
Season of Macha (30BP)
Culprit Behind the Disturbance - Level 27 (Boat 2)
145 BP
Unlocked via a questline, Gwynn gets mad at you for spamming Tyrant speedruns. After running White Tyrant and Counterattack, you'll unlock this.
Mission BP - 20
Total Bonus Mission BP - 30
Defeat 10 kobolds with objects (P) (10BP)
Obtain Ekelch Potion (10BP)
Boss drop, pretty common, so you'll only need 2 runs at most.
Obtain Blessed Magic Powder (10BP)
You'll need Eflame to spawn in order to have a realistic chance of having this drop. Even then, good luck with the core (yes it only drops a single one).
Total Oath BP - 95
Win with 2 or fewer players (20BP)
This mission is pretty easy up until the boss. A solo is possible (and quite fun, I think Baku infected me with something), but go with two people if you want to play it safe. You may want to adapt a run the hell away while flailing arms approach to when the boss sharpens his sword, that thing hurts a lot. Fionas can be very aggresive however, as the boss only has one smash move. Otherwise, just run and poke.
Equipment destroyed <10 times (P) (20BP)
Solo with this on if you don't trust other people, you only wear 6 breakable things at max.
Win within 12 min (25BP)
The limit here has about 1-2 minutes of buffer. You still want to be running through to the boss, as 5 minutes is about how much time he'll take.
Season of Macha (30BP)
White Tyrant's Challenge - Level 36 (Boat 2) (aka Red Tyrant)
185 BP
Mission BP - 50
Total Bonus Mission BP - 25
Obtain Essence of Rage (10BP)
Boss drop, yada yada yada.
Equipment Destroyed <5 times (15BP)
Total Oath BP - 110
Win with 4 or fewer players (35BP)
You'll probably run out of spears to stun him with about 5-8 bars in. When that happens, have one person drag the aggro and tank while the others chuck huge ice blocks at him to stun (or combo, depends). Otherwise, not very hard.
Win without secondary weapons (25BP)
This is slightly challenging due to the fact spears are the ideal way to stun, you don't even get a free 5-8 bars off like with 4 people. Just use the 4 player strat with 6 people and the bear will go down eventually.
Win without repairing armor (20BP)
Season of Macha (30BP)
