Best subclasses & builds

Getting started

The Shattered Throne dungeon icon is located at the Confluence area, inside the Strongehold of Eleusinia (Mara Sov’s throne world).

Best weapons loadouts

Here, I’ll be going over some of the best meta weapons to use in the Shattered Throne dungeon:

Reaching the first encounter

To reach the first encounter, travel through The Eleusinia straight ahead and the first encounter will begin shortly.

First encounter - Erebus

General Objective Overview

This phase requires players to defeat enemies at three marked symbols in the correct order to progress. Each symbol is associated with a specific miniboss. Collect the ''Petitioner's Mark'' buff by defeating a marked enemy at the correct symbol, then repeat this three times to advance.

Arena & Layout

The zone is a large open map with nine total symbols, such as Dragon, Infinity Snake, and Teardrop. Use the symbol map above to navigate between locations efficiently. Please note that enemies spawn in abundance, especially at the final symbol of each cycle.

Team Roles & Asignments

• Navigator: Calls out the next symbol from the wall.
• Runner: Moves quickly between symbol locations, clearing ads and dealing damage to minibosses.
• Ad-Clear: Clears ads and protects the Runner.

Mechanics

The ''Petitioner's Mark'' is a buff gained after killing the miniboss at the correct symbol. It will kill in 45 seconds if not deposited. If the wrong miniboss is killed, the symbol sequence resets.

Killing enemies out of order wastes time, so only go to the correct symbol as shown on the wall. There are 7 symbols and areas to be killed, after you clear the first 6, the last symbol will appear in the middle of the arena.

DPS Phase

There is no DPS phase for this encounter, but each miniboss has a short window for burst damage after spawning.

Tips & Mistakes to Avoid

✔️ - Memorize or keep a symbol map handy: This saves time and prevents wrong turns.

✔️ - Kill ads first before the miniboss: This makes miniboss fights safer and cleaner.

❌ - Do NOT kill a miniboss at the wrong symbol: This resets the sequence.

❌ - Don't ignore the ''Petitioner's Mark'' timer: You must continue the cycle before you die.

Reaching the second encounter

After the first encounter, you will have to drop down and navigate a hallway filled with Taken Thralls. Keep following the corridor until you reach a large area where Taken Ogres patrol. You will have to keep following the beam platforms and kill the Ogres to reach the second encounter.

Second Encounter - Vorgeth, The Boundless Hunger

General Objective Overview

To defeat Vorgeth, you will need to kill 4 Wizards to spawn orbs needed to break Vorgeth's shield. Pick up orbs dropped by the Wizards and deposit them on corresponding plates so you can damage the boss.

Arena & Layout

This is a square-shaped arena with 1 Wizard in each corner. There are 4 deposit plates near the center of the room, and you will need to dunk orbs into each of them.

Team Roles & Asignments

• Wizard Killers (2 players or solo if experienced): Focus on killing Wizards quickly and collecting their orbs.
• Orb Runner: Collects the orb and deposits it at the correct plate.
• Ad-clear: Controls enemy waves and clears space around plates.

Mechanics

• Shielded Vorgeth: He will be immune until all four orbs are deposited.
• Four Wizards: Killing each of them spawns an orb.
• Orb Timers: You must quickly dunk each orb or it will despawn.

DPS Phase

Once all four orbs are deposited, Vorgeth’s shield drops. Use high-burst DPS weapons like Queensbreaker or Lord of Wolves to easily one-phase this boss.

Tips & Mistakes to Avoid

✔️ - Kill all Wizards fast: they will spawn more ads the longer they live.

✔️ - Clear the area before dunking orbs: This can keep you alive in crucial moments.

❌ - Don’t hold the orbs too long: They will despawn after a short time, so try to hurry.

❌ - Don’t stand in the open during DPS: Vorgeth uses dangerous AoE blasts, so try to not stay too close to him during DPS.

Reaching the boss encounter

After Vorgeth is defeated, a door behind him opens. Proceed through more Taken-filled hallways until you reach the Throne Room; the final boss fight against Dul Incaru, the Eternal Return.

Boss Encounter - Dul Incaru, the Eternal Return

General Objective Overview

To defeat Dul Incaru, you will first need to kill the 3 giant Knights that spawn around her in order to begin DPS.

Arena & Layout

The arena is a long, rectangular throne room with a wide central platform. Dul Incaru stands at the far end with Knights flanking her. Ads spawn near the entrance and along the sides.

Team Roles & Asignments

• Knight Killers: Focus on bringing down the 3 Knights fast.
• Crystal Breakers: Immediately destroy the crystals after each Knight dies.
• Ad-clear Support: Handles constant waves of Taken Thrall and Snipers.

Mechanics

• Knights: Killing one spawns a crystal. Killing all three starts the DPS phase.
• Crystals: Must be destroyed to prevent boss wipe. Act fast.
• Wipe Timer: If the crystals remain up too long or you’re too slow in the DPS phase, she wipes the team.

DPS Phase

The DPS phase begins once all three crystals are broken. Use burst Supers (Nova Bomb, Golden Gun), Grenade Launchers, Linears, or anything that deals great DPS. She should be dead before you know it. In case you don't kill her in one-phase, repeat the mechanics again until she is dead.

Tips & Mistakes to Avoid

✔️ - Kill each Knight one at a time and immediately break the crystal.

✔️ - Use burst damage supers and coordinate DPS for a fast clear.

❌ - Don’t ignore the ads: They build up fast and can become overwhelming.

❌ - Don’t leave crystals up too long: They’ll wipe your team if left untouched.
