Inexperienced UsageEdit

• 1. have the runner run to the dungeon. A cupcake is nice for running sacnoth valley.
• 2. Runner runs to the portal while main team goes and gets the key. The OF needs to be bonded on level one.
• 3. Level two: main team spikes their way to Rragar. If your quick, you may go through the gate if it's open.
• 4. Upon getting to the 2nd Rragar, have the runner go to the portal. Kill rragar and get the key.
• 5. Level 3: Spike your way to the Flesheaters. Before you get there, stay back so the tank can spawn the gate group. Ball and spike and get the boss key.
• 6. Run to Rragar and kill him, then hidesplitter.

Experienced UsageEdit

• 1. have the runner run to the dungeon. A cupcake is nice for running sacnoth valley.
• 2. Runner runs to the portal while main team goes and gets the key. The OF needs to be bonded on level one.
• 3. Level 2: The MT runs to rragar and slivers him

while the runner goes to the zone. This is EXTREMELY difficult. Have the bonder bring recall and cast it on the MT so he can get to Rragar with him.

• 4. Level 3: same tactic with bonder and MT. Go to flesh eater...pull the spawn to him. Get them out of the ball, sliver till the key pops. Run to rragar. Mainteam should run straight to the gate. Once the key is retrieved spike down Rragar followed by Hidesplitter.

Collect your chest and win.
