Comprehensive Endless Universe Walkthrough

Nariin - Dreamweaver

I have been in Endless Universe many times, from very smooth runs to those we were unable to finish. I have started this guide a long time ago and now decided to finish it and post, although not many people are interested in this instance. I think it's easy and fun >:/

I included a lot of screenshots cause I like it that way

( ! ) - warning

Requirements ~ ~ ~

There is one key item needed for EU, named Tuc Su Toxin. To obtain it you have to complete all yellow Morai quests (up to the ones added in Imperial Fury expansion). After you do, pick a purple quest from elder of Thousand Streams named Stolen Essences, which will lead you to The Altar of Shades, where NPC Crimson Imperial Envoy gives you Tuc Su Toxin once per day.

( ! ) Even if you stack Tuc Su Toxins, you are only able to enter EU once per day.

The other requirement is having a squad of 8-10 people (everyone has to have Toxin). While it's possible to complete the instance with 8 people, 10 is recommended.

( i ) Rainbow squad (at least 8 different classes) gives you a blessing which increases skill damage. It disappears upon death.

( ! ) If you die and "go back to town" you DO loose xp.

Part 1: Relay race click! ~ ~ ~


It isn't actually a race since it doesn't have a time limit or anything, but follows same rules as a rely race.

( ! ) This part may fail because of the following reasons:
- If someone dies and uses "back to town" (use cleric/scroll rez or restart mission in case you don't have any)
- If someone walks out of their area, including falling off the cliff (you can range mobs which are out of area tough)
- If someone gets disconnected/leaves and doesn't come back, therefore is unable to complete their part of the race

( i ) If quest fails, everyone jump off the cliff and leader may start it again.

( ! ) Sometimes it gets glitched and leader is unable to start the quest. In this case try changing leadership and everyone check if there is a quest stuck in their log (it may not fail automatically - just trash it).

( i ) Tip by VenusArmani: (anti-glich use of position 6 on the map above) That is a tiny island where the bird boss's children are waiting for players to be summoned so they can feast. It can be jumped down to from position 3. If the quest glitches as you say and everyone has trashed the quest and changed lead but it is still not working, that means this quest is invisi-glitched. Have one person jump down there and kill some birds until the quest glitch fixes itself.

On the starting area you will see 8 gems in a circle named with the Greek letters plus 2 in the middle (watch image below).



Gems in the circle, each represents a position on a rely race track and they all need to be taken, while the middle 2 are meant for the extra two players and are only to be taken if there are 10 players (or one of them if there are 9). Players who choose gems in the middle are the escorts - they are able to walk the entire path (and "go back in town"). Their job is simply to aid players, therefore it's recommended they are cleric + tank. While anyone can do the job, cleric can rez the dead ones and tank can aggro all or most mobs, clearing a path for the runner, thus making it faster.

Each gem has different kind of mobs, so choose wisely. Below are mob descriptions and recommended class (by me).

Alpha: flying archer mobs
Class: archer, but any that can range effectively will do

Beta: melee physical mobs with minor "increase damage" buff
Class: any, beginners

Gamma: melee physical mobs (after they shoot you with 0 speed debuff - lasts until mob dies or you purify)
Class: any, puri/anti speed debuff skill makes it faster

Delta: physical melee mobs, large number
Class: BM, barb, seeker

Epsilon: cursing mage mobs, one-hit-kill debuff which triggers after 20 sec(each mob can only cast it once)
Class: cleric, assassin (for puri, spark puri)

Zeta: magic mobs with elemental immunity (they move away from melee), they use slow
Class: any physical

Eta: physical mobs with physical immunity
Class: any caster

Theta: ranged, physical, standing still mobs
Class: any

All paths can be done by any class, but some classes pass it much easier. Also, all mobs are physical except eta and epsilon.
There are also 16 mobs called Dark Envoy (2 spawn per path, when path is active), they are physical melee and take a bit longest to kill.

After leader starts the quest (NPC Zirihk Slanh) everyone is able to pick a quest with same name as the gems and dig the gem, which teleports you to your area.



You will see a mirror (your quest starting NPC) and purple lights which are marking areas.

( ! ) After a quest has been picked, no other player can choose it, so decide who will take which gem before that.

Below is my sketch of the race. There are suppose to be 8 colored areas but I made 4 just for an example.



Colored areas indicate where each player is allowed to move (where mobs with your gem name are), black dot shows where you are spawned and arrow shows your path after you receive a quest from your mirror.

( i ) There are arrow markings on the floor, to make sure you are going to the right direction

All you need to do is take a quest form the mirror (when it's available) and run the next mirror where you complete quest. After that the next player is able to take a quest and does the same thing. Player who chose Alpha begins the mission by talking to his mirror. He runs to Beta, Beta runs to Gamma, Gamma to Delta, etc. If Alpha walks past the second mirror (to the Beta area) the quest will fail. When you are done with your quest, you can afk a bit (but watch out for mobs) or go back and kill your mobs for a quest (which you receive automatically - check quest log) requiring to kill a certain amount of mobs for a buff which doubles your skill damage (you may skip it). This buff stacks with rainbow blessing and it also disappears upon death.

Amount of drops needed:
- Alfa 15
- Beta 15
- Gamma 15
- Delta 35
- Epsilon 8
- Zeta 15
- Eta 15
- Theta 3

On the race track there are also red balls, which cast various debuffs on players (purge, stun, slow, freeze, slow attack rate / channel and mana drain). If you hit then from far, they hit you back.



After the race is complete (watch red text), everyone should return to the entrance (you may jump off the cliff) and leader must take a quest from NPC (everyone must be in range) and you can continue your path over the bridge (which has holes in it that I always fell in >:o) until you come to a boss.

( i ) After this part you are allowed to "go back to town" or fall off the cliff, the quest will not fail.

Part 2: (boss) Gorath the Worldrender ~ ~ ~


( i ) If you are dead when bosses die, don't worry, it doesn't affect your reward.



This boss has AoE physical damage and pushback, therefore he should be pulled and placed like on the sketch below, to prevent being pushed away (possibly off the island). His AoE interrupts BB, so cleric should use IH + beam. Puller should wait until everyone is placed in front of a rock.



Bo: boss' original position
P: player's position
B: boss' final position (where boss should be pulled)
Pa: player's alternative position
Ba: boss' alternative position (where some players pull instead)

Nariin - Dreamweaver

Part 3: Mistress of Endless Night ~ ~ ~




Second boss is placed inside of a circled thingy. Double jump (or teleport if you can) should work, though some people have problems with coming in (lag). Note that you get aggro as soon as you enter the circle. Boss has AoE, but does not interrupt BB. After you lower her HP to 1.9m she stops attacking and summons 2 clones, buffing herself with major damage reduction (BB icon). After both clones are "dead" (at 2.5m HP), she loses the buff. She summons clones 2 more times before you are able to kill her.

( ! ) Cleric should BB in the middle (on boss or near) to cover all area.



( ! ) Boss with buff should not be attacked majorly, because it may glitch and is unable to loose buff. Although all 3 bosses need to be aggroed or they will attack cleric (1 person should be on buffed boss and the rest on clones)

Nariin - Dreamweaver

Part 4: (boss) Ghost Wing ~ ~ ~


Last boss is flying in circles and can be range attacked, although at this point he does not attack back. 2 mobs are following him and they will descend, so those who can, should range attack boss while the rest kill the mobs (they respawn). After a red text comes saying "Ghost Wing is preparing to incinerate the platform! Seek cover!", he will summon fire (mayor dmg over time), so BB should be up. If you are about to die regardless, jump into the water and come back around.

( ! ) I havent quite figure out how it works but fire does stack and possibly transfers player to player.
For example, once I was alone at the platform because everyone else died after cleric did. I was standing at the spot where I usually get fire, but I didn't get it (it didn't even burn there). The opposite case scenario was when people kept running all over each other when fire was on and I was getting more rapid fire damage (I died).
I think the best is if people line up on the edge and try not to run over each other too much or stand close.

( i ) He can be debuffed while flying (HF).



After he's down to 3.2m HP he will land (watch red text), heal up and stop summoning fire and mobs. You can melee him at this point and he will attack back. Occasionally he will summon random players to a platform with mobs, saying his kids are hungry. You can either kill mobs and be summoned back (they are easy) or jump off and walk back. He does AoE so BB should be left up.

( i ) Kicking, leaving or changing lead does not fail any quest.

Nariin - Dreamweaver

Rewards ~ ~ ~


After last boss has been killed you may jump off the cliff to return to the entrance and when everyone is there, leader is able to take a reward quest (An Unexpected Gift). Then talk to Zirihk Slanh and you can choose between Drunk Lotus Pill, which gives 400k xp and 150k spirit or Inconsistent Chest, which contains one of the following items:

- Endless: Weapon Card (3%)
- Endless: Armor Card (17%)
- Mirage Celestone x20 (75%)
- Old Book Page (5%)

If you receive an Endless Card, you can exchange it (same NPC) for G13 weapon or armor.

( i ) If someone for any reason does not come to the entrance, reward quest can't be obtained.


If you find any wrong information, feel free to correct me. Also grammar and spelling .-. And be easy on me, I never wrote a guide before.

This is probably the most technically impressive guide on the forums!

Too bad very few people still do that instance b:chuckle

Map

You see the tiny island next to spot 3 on the map? That is a tiny island where the bird boss's children are waiting for players to be summoned so they can feast. It can be jumped down to from position 3. If the quest glitches as you say and everyone has trashed the quest and changed lead but it is still not working, that means this quest invisi-glitched. Have one person jump down there and kill some birds until the quest glitch fixes itself. I've done this a couple of times.

@ Venus: Thank you ^^ and I appriciate additional information (didn't know). I added it up in post 2 and on the map. Hope I got the right island b:chuckle

Yup, you got the right island. It's no problem at all, and great guide.

Ditto! The other one is incomplete and not as organized. Made in a rush when it first was released by a player trying to help everyone else out. This one is much more thorough and comprehensive.

I'm not sure but I think the dark envoys are the mobs that the escorts are supposed to kill to get their increased skill damage blessings. I've noticed they only spawn in the active relay portion.

Yunhan - Sanctuary

Somehow, those purple quests didn't show up on me, even though I'm here *starting point* at that time. Do you know why? b:surrender

Well I've been trying to figure that out, but escorts were never really helpful when I asked them about it, and I can't remember when I escorted as it was long ago. I guess I'll just see for myself when my cleric dings

I'm not sure what you mean. Check under "avalible quests" if you have any yellow quest left. After you have done all of them, Thousand streams elder should have a purple quest to pick.

Yunhan - Sanctuary

Ok, I'll try to explain.
The first step (rely race) has done. Now, we are ready to go to next part (fight those three annoying bos). In my case, at the third time I run this Endless Universe, the purple quest which required three essences from those bosses didn't show up in my quest list. I wonder why.
- Do all of us need to regroup at starting point first, then the squad leader report to that npc?
- Or, the squad leader report to that npc first, then we regroup to the starting point?
- Maybe it's a rare glitch?

I think you're mixing it up with Advanced endless universe. It's the same instance, but a whole different thing. Stolen essences is an Endless universe quest, which alowes you to enter the instance. You said you did it 3 times, so you much have done the purple quest. The 3 bosses are only killed for the final reward and only squad leader must pick a quest for those. You still get the reward even if you are dead when bosses are killed. You did get reward. right?

Now the quest that requires essences from 3 bosses is called Into the fray, BUT it's for Advanced endless universe, which you enter trough a portal above the Endless universe NPC

Yunhan - Sanctuary

Unfortunately, I'm still 97 at that time. Impossible for me to do AEU. >_>
Yeah, I still get the choose-on-of-two item reward, bot not the essence one. Maybe the squad leader forget to report, or he has reported before when I died in my lane-turning-point. @_@
*just forget it already*

The essence quest comes from the 1k elder, not from within the instance. It's not possible for you to have been able to enter without it.




Also, Nariin, the dark envoys only spawn during an active relay portion and there are two in each of the first four legs of the race (I've never done anything past gamma so I'd have no way to verify). They are melee physical mobs with more hp (they take longer to kill at least) than the regular mobs and they do not count toward the kill quest for the blessing. They seem to spawn around the middle of the leg.

Nariin - Dreamweaver

Some minor updates about rainbow blessing, balls, mobs. Still not sure about dark envoy - escort connection and if last 2 bosses aoe is physical or magic. I think they are all physical.
And spelling mistakes qq

Balmmaker - Archosaur

I would like to know more about the rewards as I can't find any details on them.

1) I understand you can do AEU to get skill books...but where exactly in AEU do these skill books come from? Is it a random boss drop? And what are the odds of getting a skill the matches your class?

2) Is the Drunk Lotus Pill Tradable?

3) The weapon and armor cards: what exactly do they do? Are they for getting Morai weapons and armor or any G13?

1.) EU =/= AEU
This guide is about EU. But about the question: There is a chance to get them from Endless Dragon-Emperor Chest, which is a final reward after killing 3rd boss. It's tradable. Odds to get your class skill are 0.4% (0.2% per book, 2 books per class)

2.) No.

3.) Quoting from guide

If you receive an Endless Card, you can exchange it (same NPC) for G13 weapon or armor.

Morai gear of course, not any g13.
