Tips for DS lvl 11-13

Floor 11: Mobs/Lizard -- After killing the mobs (Easy part) the lizard will spawn, make sure you have a tank for this part it will make things easier, Let the tank grab aggro, hold off on dps for a few seconds, let the tank drag him to the wall away from where the wraiths will eventually spawn. The hardest part of this floor is avoiding the wraiths and watching for the lizards tail stun. There is a way to determine if he’s going to slam his tail down and cause silence, he will quickly look behind him kind of like 2nd boss in Ravenous Gorge and then attack with his tail, it’s the same mechanic. Also watch when he charges up he will roar, half-ass stand up, drop down and lift his face, if you don’t avoid the circle electricity attack after he lifts his face it will stun you for like 8 seconds. If for some reason you do die in the wraiths, always have a Goddess’s blessing on you, so you can ress with immunity for 10 seconds or else you’ll never get up and probably cause your party to wipe, especially if you’re the tank or healer.

Floor 12: Naga This Naga… Isn’t that bad, until he enrages. The big thing to watch for when battling the Naga is to ask yourself, “Is he enraged?”, if you have answered yes to this, it is best to kite or avoid him if your in-experienced battling the BAM mechanics of a Naga. His attack speed and dmg increase significantly when he’s pissed. The enraged Naga will step over you like its nothing and you’ll wipe before you know it if you are not careful. The wall’s aren’t an issue if you have a priest, they can just pull you out, if you have a mystic with you, you will need to dps the walls to save your party and/or yourself. Another annoying thing about the Naga is his tail, he will quickly look behind himself and flick his tail, if he’s not enraged it does moderate damage. But boy oh boy, if he is enraged that tail will end you quickly. It’s best to avoid the tail flick altogether(It can be challenging). Another thing to watch out for the Naga will do is his triple jump attack. This is semi-avoidable when is he not enraged, but if the Naga is Enraged and starts doing his triple jump, gtfo of the way/block/i-frame immediately or you’re dead. Especially if you’re the tank if he is triple jumping at you and you’re against the wall, I recommend you I–frame his last jump it always seems to get in behind you no matter how close to the wall you think you’re (Warrior/Slayers backstab is great to avoid this attack). Finally if this floor wasn’t annoying enough they toss this random wraith in that throws blue plasma balls at you periodically that do a fixed 30k dmg. So it’s best to avoid this, and they always seem to be coming right at you when you’re about dead or about to get stomped on by Naga.

Floor 13: Dracolith This floor is actually in my opinion, stupidly easy. When the Dracolith first spawns, dps him cautiously as his AOE attacks are deadly and linger on the floor for a bit. When the totem spawns dps it down to like 5% and wait until a notice appears that the dracolith is gathering energy. Break the totem and you have immunity to dmg for like 20 seconds or so, use this time to dps the dracolith make sure to take care of the mobs first. Repeat these steps until he’s dead. Have someone kite him during the waiting phase for the totems and him gathering energy if you need to.
