Notes
- You can take all chests
- Timex2 and Restore chests are always up
- The vortex will open by killing one of the floor's bosses
- Item chest drops from specific mob
1st Floor: 10 Mandragoras, 1 Goobbue and 2 large Mandragora bosses
- Vortex and Items become available after killing 2 of the 3 bosses
- Pull Goobbue and kill, nothing links with him
- Kill normal mandragoras until you can cleanly pull the large ones
- Kill large mandragoras until both Vortex and Items are available
- Take all chests and go up
2nd Floor: 8 Birds (4 Cornu, 4 Sirin), 4 Roc bosses (2 Thiazi, 2 Bialozar)
- Vortex and Items become available after killing 2 of the 4 rocs
- Pull both pairs of Sirins and kill them (100% chance of dropping 1 coin)
- Kill 1 Roc, if it has the Vortex or Items, kill the other in that pair; otherwise kill the other pair (they Horde Lullaby, immune to Sleep)
- Sleep Cornus (50% chance of dropping 1 coin)
- Take all chests and go up
3rd Floor: 4 Magic pots, 1 Doll boss per party
- Kill pots until Items chest drops
- Kill doll to open vortex
- BLM needs to save Manafont for the next floor
- Take all chests and go up
4th Floor: 8 Opo-opos, 3 Gigas bosses
- Kill gigas in this order until Vortex opens: Hyperion (magic immune), Okeanos (ranged immune), Cronos (immune to melee)
- BLM will most likely need to use 2 Manafonts to kill Cronos, using restore midfight
- Kill large opo-opo to get Items
- Keep mages out of Spinning Claw range (15')
- Take all chests and go up
5th Floor: 8 Dhalmels, 2 Manticore bosses
- Pull dhalmels 1 at a time and kill them
- Keep mages out of Cold Stare range (cone silence)
- Chest drops after all 8 are dead
- If you have time, pull manticores one at a time (2 coins each, immune to Slow/Elegy), otherwise run around them to avoid true sight agro and exit
