Heavenfall Temple Guide

Hey guys, I'm not done yet, just finished floor 90, but I wrote this up for my faction and thought I'd share it here too.

You can enter the new Heavenfall Temple via the Illusion Stone, or by the glowing door behind the NPC you're directed to via the Heavenfall Temple Quest. Once inside, use the "Select Floor" Button on the left side of your screen to start at floor one. Each floor is somewhat randomized and you will automatically receive your rewards after completing the floor. (Note the EXP rewards are used automatically so you won't see them in your bag)

The dungeon has 108 floors divided into 6 "petals", each are 18 floors long, with a unique boss on floor 9, and 18.



THE FOLLOWING IS A GUIDE TO THE CHALLENGES WHICH OCCUR ON FLOORS 1-8 AND 10-17 OF EACH PETAL AT RANDOM



Challenge of the Believers –
Your goal here is to go into the 3 groups of mobs and kill ¾ mobs. Each group has 1 Monk, 2 Servant of Mara Papman, and 1 Bewitched Follower. The Bewitched Follower has only 1 HP and must stay alive. Feel free to spark, but stick to single-target skills and auto-attacks because an AOE will kill the Bewitched Follower and instantly fail your attempt. At high levels be sure to target the Monks of each groups first (their names are Vile, Vicious, and Malicious Monk) as they do the most damage, and are empowered further as you kill their counterparts. Kill the Servents of Mara Papman next. If you’ve killed all 3 monks and all 6 servants, without killing a Follower, you win this room.

Challenge of the Portal –
This is one of the most straight-forward rooms, but is one of the most difficult at the higher levels. Around the room you’ll find glowing lights that change colour. These are ‘stardust’ and standing in them will spawn 10 mobs at the portal, including one mini-boss type. Your goal here is to make your way around the room, triggering the stardust and killing the mobs. Killing the boss-type mob of the group will cause the Sage to do an AOE that will deal damage to some of the mobs, but won’t likely kill anything. At higher levels be sure to take your time and do one group of mobs at a time. Once all 100 mobs are dead, you win this room.

Challenge of the Elements –
Around the room you see 5 pillars called “Dragon Totems”, and each belongs to one of the 5 elements. Your goal is to destroy all 5 pillars. As you do, you’ll become effected by one of the 5 elements. This will cause you to take damage over time from that element, however it will cause you to do bonus damage to one of the other totems. For example, if you are affected by the Fire element, you do bonus damage to the Metal totem. At all levels of play, prioritize your attack buffs (either physical/magical or pure attack levels) to destroy them quickly so you’re not wasting pots. Also remember that you can remove the effects of the pillars altogether by hitting a certain pillar. In the above example, attacking the Metal totem with the Fire buff will deal bonus damage to said totem, but attacking the Water totem will remove the bonus damage effect, as well as the damage over time. At higher levels you should remove all buffs/debuffs as fast as you can by attacking to corresponding pillar, forget the bonus damage, those things hurt too much to worry about it. Remove the buffs and widdle down the totems so they’re all at about the same low health, then spark and run around the room finishing the off as fast as you can before the damage over time kills you.


NOTE – I’ve heard the increasing resistances doesn’t help much – if you need extra defences, go for the max-health buff instead.

Challenge of Calamity –
This is one of the easier challenges, though potentially time-consuming. The Avatar of Calamity is a Boss that focuses an NPC in the middle of the room. If the NPC dies, the room fails – so all you have to do is kill the boss before he kills the NPC. The twist is that the boss goes invincible every few seconds. The buff appears as a white-brown shield with a blue border and is called “invincible”. To remove this buff, simply stand in (or run through) a green orb on the ground. This will dispel the buff for a few seconds, allowing you to do damage. There is NO need for any defences in this challenge, so maximize your attack through the Attack Level or Phys/Mag attack buffs. At higher levels, you may also want to buff your HP, as standing in the Purple circle to one side of the room will steal your HP, giving it to the NPC you need to defend. The higher your HP is, the more HP that is stolen (usually about 20% of your max health each time). If the boss dies, you win, if the NPC dies, you lose. Don’t stand in the purple circle too long or it WILL kill you.

NOTE – It’s possible that the more HP you lose, the faster your NPC recovers, but this is unconfirmed, and may be simply a set percentage for fairness.
NOTE – AOEs will damage your NPC. Don’t use them!

Challenge of Energy –
This room is fairly straight forward. Text will tell you to collect one of three items; Dragon Essence, Imp Gut, or Ginseng Fruit. Attacking the mobs around the room will eventually force them to drop their corresponding item. Beware the Ginseng Trees, as they also drop two other items that are NOT the ones you need. Be very careful that you are using the actual Ginseng Fruit, and not the Sengin. Once you have an item, targeting it will give you access to a little hammer, which you can trigger on screen or from your inventory to knock the item toward the center. Once the item is in the middle, by the pillar, it will be absorbed and you’ll be asked to get another item. Do this until the challenge is complete. If you do not deliver the item in time, or deliver the wrong item, the pillar will “dull”. Failing repeatedly will cause the light to go out, failing the room.
NOTE – be careful of the dragons… they bite. If they keep killing you, you can skip them altogether (unless they’re the first item needed) and just do extras of the other ones later on.

Challenge of the Pilgrim –
The room is as straight-forward as they come. Around the room are ten lights, and in the center will spawn Celestial Guardians. Kill these guardians to light up the lights around the room. When all 10 lights are shining, you win the challenge. At higher stages you’ll also see Nullifiers and Sages. Killing the Nullifiers makes a light go out. Killing the Sages has no effect, but they spawn magical zones on the floor that will deal damage if you stand on them. This gets incredibly difficult at high levels due to the overall number of Nullifiers, who hit hard in large groups. Remember that AOE stuns will work on all the mobs, so you can pick off the Guardians with a well placed stun – though you should only use an AOE damage skill if you’re guaranteed not to hit the Nullifiers.

Challenge of the Protectors –
In the center of the room is a Celestial Bead. As you do damage to the Celestial Bead you’ll gain Buddha Corona Surveillance. Each Buddha will charge the NPCs around the room. Start by getting 7 Buddha’s, then target the very first Protector Andolor. These do damage and apply a curse effect, increasing the damage taken by targets. Use the Mirror of Sages on Andolor twice, which will increase his size twice and give him a golden aura. Just past your first Andolor are another Andolor and Mosaro. Target Andolor, using another Buddha to choose him as that corner’s defender. Upgrade him twice (three uses total on this NPC) to get him to full size with golden aura. Now target your first Protector Mosaro, where most of the mobs are spawning. Upgrade him til he has max size and a golden aura too. He does very small amounts of damage, but applies a massive AOE slow. These 3 fully upgraded NPCs (1 Mosaro, 2 Andalor) will handle 90% of monsters that come in. Now go back to killing the Celestial Bead. It doesn’t NEED to die, but dealing damage to it will give you enough Buddha’s to select and upgrade the other NPCs around the room. In the North East Corner of the room, you’ll notice the NPCs are a bit closer together than the others, put one Andolor and one Mosaro (fully upgraded) each around this corner, so they can both attack the same monsters. As for all the other places, add fully upgraded NPCs of your choice, though I suggest max-level Andolor’s all around the room at low levels. For higher levels, you may want a few Mosaro NPCs to give you extra time attacking him, but remember that the Andolor’s also increase your damage. I suggest max damage buffs for this room. If the boss dies without reaching the end of the track, you win this challenge.

NOTE - you cannot damage the monsters, but you CAN damage the boss whe it spawns, as can your NPCs
NOTE - it takes 3 Buddha Corona Surveillance to fully upgrade an NPC; 1 to select an NPC from the duo, and 2 for upgrades

Challenge of the Monk –
This one is nice and straight forward. 4 Celestial Beasts spawn around the room, moving slowly toward the middle, where they die, becoming a boss; the Corrupted Monk. Killing any of the four mobs before they reach the center will weaken the Monk. Crimson Phoenix’s death will lower is M. Def, White Tiger’s death will lower his P. Def, Black Tortoise’s death will lower his max HP, and Azure Dragon’s death will lower his attack. Kill them all if you can, but focus on the ones that matter most (example, an Assassin shouldn’t worry about the Crimson Phoenix as M. Def doesn’t matter). The boss itself is relatively simple, but can occasionally use a skill to do massive damage at higher ranks. Focus on high damage buffs, and watch common chat for any warnings so you know when to use pots and other helpful items. Once the Monk dies, this challenge is complete. I suggest maximizing your attack, to speed up the boss, and to increase your chances of killing the beast. Always kill the Azure Dragon first if possible, as this guy can really hurt at later stages.
