Hello all, SacredGate in the house yo, from Orsha server. This is a written guide with our video attached for the clear. I know there’s a lot of videos there already but I think this will help a people without kriv3tao to suceed in solmiki, at least at 25f for now.
Lineup:
SacredGate - wiz3ele3warlock2
Alphapex - c2p2pard1mikoPD2
Mickallen - a2r3sr3
Wolf24 - c2diev3druid3
Tasuna wizcryo3chrono3sage
I Won’t go much into the composition though feel free to ask any questions regarding it.
21f - dps check, typical dps floor, some parties like to do it in the middle to not have to grab the mobs, but since we have an sr3 it is better to be in the lower corner for retreat shot to be more effective.
Key notes if you take the corner route:
- someone needs to lure the mobs, usually the chrono will do it since he does not dps and is tanky enough
- seems that it is best to lure from right to left, in a counterclockwise motion, however, around 1 in 15 runs the mobs tend to stack up in the very elft area that sometimes can be missed so make sure to check on that as well whoever lures the mobs
22f - Protect the statue in the middle - to be safe we make 4 barriers like a square around the statue to be protected. Hitting the mobs like with frost cloud seem to make mobs pass through barrier so you can just cc them, and with our two clerics we have a lot of protection to keep us safe from ranged mobs. We have figured it is better especially with a diev3, that can have statues keep agro. Though in general cc-ing them seems to be the better way than killing them.
23f - destroy the large unidentified egg in the middle - this floor there is a large egg at the middle and other smaller eggs. the smaller eggs spawns more mobs and it is hard to not hit them so it is okay if you do.
To kill the egg you need to get a buff, and you get the buff by killing one of the green gribas - mushroom looking mob. a lot of them spawns so it is best to have all of your dps members to try and kill the egg, then the healer and utility drop heals and keep the mobs away from the egg - to keep the dps safe when they hit it.
Key points on 23f
-Barrier does not work. most mobs go through it, so it is good to set up barrier on the right or left side, then have anyone that can keep agro and cc, like any chrono, diev, or pelt, keep the mobs on that side.
-when you get the buff a message appears saying “you are covered in…” and your character start glowing green. you only get about 15 or 10 seconds I believe.
24f - purifying the poison - like any other 4f parts of the tower , the main goal is for the team to accumulate 200 points, and you accumulate a point for a character being there. this floor is very easy with taoist since all he needs to do is use them charm and fade, so the party can stay in one spot and stand there for 5mins untouched. However, without a taoist, its gets challenging. After some research from ktos videos, what seems to work best, as seen on our video above is to kill the plant that throws an uncureable poison and spreads to other characters near the affected character. This poison plant has a total of 4, and spawns on the North, west, and east side of the map so that the whole map is covered.
key points for no taoist parties - the plant spawns at 3:28, so the idea is to not get it close to your team or not let it attack you, so any cc will be good, like cryo tree, sleep, knockdown, etc. then kill it with ranged skills, do not move away from the corner otherwise other mobs will see the party and make it harder.
-plan b: if the plant was able to poison the team or someone on the team, whoever was poisoned needs to walk away, and its best doing it by fading when possible, and walking down the stairs, so that the poison won’t refresh and spread to everyone. once this is done then kill the mobs on the corner and try not to attract other mobs.
25f - boss kill with honeymelis around: honeymelis go through barriers and does hurt, so we try to kill it with the boss by using frost pillar on the boss and let them die while we damage the boss. with our team, or a diev3 at least, it is good to setup on the left or right side to have as much ausrine as possible, as the boss does pretty high damage, and throws a lot of poison puddles around the area.
key points in 25f - the boss uses/reversis heal tiles to heal itself - so the healer has to throw heals away from it and whoever has agro need to keep the boss away from the heal tiles.
That is it for now gentlemen, special thanks to wolf24 for recording the video.
