Admin note: Stickying this guide, it has a bunch of great information

I got bored, so I made a guide for my guild, so I figured I'd share it. Whether or not this would go under Beginner's Guide or Dungeons is beyond me.

This guide will also contain video walkthroughs + annotations.


Pictures in this thread are links, click them to enlarge.

This here is Twilight Temple. Looks confusing, right? Where do I find it you may ask? Take a look below.

http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk246/luminatingheart/Perfect%20World/TTGuide/WorldMap.jpg

What is Twilight Temple?
It's a dungeon in Perfect World that allows you to kill bosses for special materials used in crafting various equipment. This includes weapons, armor, and ornaments. These items tend to show up in green text and have a green glow.

Twilight Temple has another name, and that is Holy Hall. This term comes from another version of Perfect World. When you see people say TT or HH, they mean the same thing.

Ooooh, that's shiny, when can I get it?
Twilight Temple equipment is first available to those level 60 and above.

Weapons can be acquired at 60, 70, 80, 90, 99, and 100.
Armor can be acquired at 70, 80, 90, and 99.
Ornaments can be acquired at 70, 80, 90, and 99.

Where do I start?
http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk246/luminatingheart/Perfect%20World/TTGuide/hallofchoice-1.jpg

When you enter, you will see 3 pillars with different names. These 3 pillars are labeled Act I: Requiem of the Wraiths, Act II: Symphony of Fate, and Act III: Aria of Dawn.

Opposite them are the forges in which you can make equipment using materials from the dungeon. You can also find these forges in Archosaur (southwest corner), near General Summer.

Choosing your Twilight Temple Settings
Act and Difficulty Differences

Have you ever read a Shakespeare play (bad memories, yes)? Think of Twilight Temple like that. There are Acts and Scenes. The Acts tell you what the layout will be like, the Scenes are different difficulties and different material drops within the Act.

Each Act has 3 different Scenes, or if it makes it easier; difficulties. Most people will refer to it like 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3. The first number is the Act, the second is the Scene (Difficulty).

For example: 1-1 is Act I: Requiem of the Wraiths, 1st difficulty option. 1-2 is Act I: Requiem of the Wraiths, 2nd difficulty option.

Therefore...

Act I: Requiem of the Wraiths
1-1: Chronol (60-65)
1-2: Dimensic (68-73)
1-3: Substancia (76-81)

Act II: Symphony of Fate
2-1: Substancia (74-79)
2-2: Naught (82-87)
2-3: Null (90-95)

Act III: Aria of Dawn
3-1: Null (88-93)
3-2: Vacuity (95-100)
3-3: Doom (100+)

The difficulty names aren't incredibly important. They are mainly used in identifying bosses in certain quests. The bosses will be named for example: Chintien: Chronol (1-1), Chintien: Dimensic (1-2), and Chintien: Substancia (1-3). The numbers denote level ranges.

The first number in the range tells you the minimum level a person must be to open it. So 1-1: Chronol (60-65) requires a level 60 or higher person to open. If you are 59, you cannot open this difficulty.

You can use this range as a frame of reference as to when you can try this difficulty. Of course you can always be higher.

Single [Solo] vs Squad Mode
There are two main modes in Twilight Temple. Single [Solo] and Squad. As each designate, Single is meant to be soloed while Squad is with a party of people.

Single / Solo
  1. Requires Ultimate Substances to open
  2. Easier than Squad mode
  3. Fewer bosses
  4. Lower drop rate on bosses for materials

Squad
  1. Harder than Single mode, but better drop rate
  2. Requires 4 people in a party to open
  3. More bosses than Single allows
  4. Consumes Ultimate Substances in order to fight more bosses (High Mode)

Medium vs High Mode
After designating single or squad mode, you will be asked to set the amount of bosses. This can be medium or high.

Medium
  1. No Ultimate Substance required
  2. Fewer bosses

High
  1. Requires Ultimate Substance
  2. Much more bosses
  3. Available only in Squad Mode

Ultimate Substance Requirements
Ultimate Substance is an item required in all Twilight Temple crafting and is also required to activate Single/Solo mode as well as High Mode for Squad. Ultimate Substances can be made at Twilight Forge: Materials. You will need 5 Refined Steel, 5 Anthracite, 5 Fine Lumber, and 5 Rubstone Powder to craft an Ultimate Substance.

Single / Solo Mode
1-1: 1
1-2:
1-3:

2-1: 2
2-2: 2
2-3: 3

3-1: 3

Squad Mode [High Mode]

Bosses Guard the Doors
In Twilight Temple, you will notice doors that block off certain paths. You usually have to kill a boss to open these doors.

In 1-1/1-2/1-3, Chintien acts as the door guard to the rest of the bosses.

In 2-1/2-2/2-3, Fataliqua acts as the first door guard.
---In 2-2/2-3, killing Soulripper will unlock the door in his room and will allow Astralwalker to spawn.
---In 2-3, killing Astralwalker will spawn Ancient Evil.

In 3-1/3-2/3-3, Coredash serves as the initial door guard. Killing him will remove the door on the southern part of the dungeon which encompasses more bosses. Within the southern side, Djinscream will unlock Deathflow's room.
---In 3-1, Deathflow will open the balcony of the third floor leading to Steelation. (Not entirely sure on this one.)
---In 3-2/3-3, Deathflow will open the door in his room (which leads to Dark Colluseast's room (however it is filled with many strong enemies) and will also open the door in the main hallway of the south side. Following the door in the main hall in the south will lead you to Steelation, Illusion Nemen, and Twilight Emperor (in that order). Illusion Nemen unlocks the door past Twilight Emperor (bottom left of huge main room) and also unlocks Twilight Minister's door (top left of the huge main room) as well as another door near Dark Colluseast (bottom right of the huge main room). Twilight Minister's death will then spawn Illusion Lord in the center platform of the huge main room. Illusion Lord will not spawn if you do not kill Minister.

    High Mode is a mode you can choose (Medium or High) which determines how many bosses will be present in the dungeon. Certain bosses only appear in High Mode, thus their special dot on the map. Added a mini section on that, thanks for reminding me.

    New Changes: Med. vs High Mode, grouped some sections together, added 3-1 Boss Locations. Also recorded a 3-1 yesterday, but missed Steelation.

    On the part about high mode substance requirements, it does not depend on the difficulty, just the act.

    Act I- 1 substance
    Act II-2 subs
    Act III-3 subs

    The only reason I see behind 1-1 High is for Wraith's Ploy (70+ quest).

    I've heard that clerics can gain entry without ultimate substance... can you comment on that? Do the numbers apply to a cleric in the "lead" or does it reduce/eliminate the required amount of subs? - thanks.

    The only method I know of gaining entry w/o substance is by glitching it. And therefore bannable.

    Sorry - stupid noob question -

    Have to kill vipenalt:chronol (1-1 high) and percussion:dimensic (1-2) for wraith's ploy.

    Question -- Do i have to kill Chintien first? or can i go straight to the boss i need?

    Is it correct that both these bosses are in the same location (different chapters tho)?

    Thanks.

    Yes, you always have to kill Chintien first. He acts as a door blocker pretty much. And these bosses are in the same location but different difficulty.

    Explains most of the drops that come from what boss and such.

    As for how many, you are not guaranteed drops. I'm not sure the exact number, but each boss will drop usually around at least 3 things.

    I recently tried doing 1-1 and 1-2 in solo mode. On both occasions, I was never offered a choice between medium/hard modes. It asked if I wanted solo or squad mode, then which part of the act (1-1, 1-2 or 1-3). That was it. Did I miss something or is medium/hard selection for squads only?

    Medium and hard selections are for Squad only. Solo mode has a preset amount of bosses, which is why you're forced to do Squad for certain materials.
