Underground Ruin - Treasure Hunter Meduze, a friend or a foe?

Underground Ruin Will be your very first solo dungeon and is accessible at level 28. You can enter this dungeon by speaking to Treasure Hunter Meduze at Sanctia/Honorold South Suburbs. To access the dungeon you will need a royal treasure map which you can obtain by hiring Thief Donald(Dorothy). Hiring him will cost you at least 1000 gold, you can pay higher if you want it to be done faster. Once hired the system will notify you when the request is finished then you can claim the treasure map from Meduze. Waiting time will depend on the number of players in the queue. Paying higher will put you before other players who paid lower.

Hiring the thief.

1000 gold, good enough if there are no other players in line.

Solo dungeons in Eligium should be done everyday for the following reasons:

1. Training Experience Points
2. Experience Points
3. Loots/Meduza's Treasure Chest

I put Training Exp in number 1 coz it is the most important thing you'll get in entering dungeons, you can only acquire training exp in solo dungeons and legend mode party dungeons which as you all know can only be entered once a day. Training Rating is very vital as you level, in increases your base stats as it levels up.

As you gain Training exp and exp, solo dungeons will also give you good loots which you can use or sell as you progress in game. The good thing about solo dungeons is that monster's level will be same or 1 level higher with the players, assuring no level gap on loots and exp gain.

Now going back to the dungeon in discussion, Underground Ruin splits into two plots where you will either kill or help Treasure Hunter Meduze. Either way, if you follow this guide correctly you will obtain the best reward of the dungeon, Meduza's Treasure Box.

Meduze as a foe

It's a trap!

The first possible scenario will be you fighting Meduze at the end of the dungeon. When you first  enter the dungeon there will be a scene, after the scene you can talk  to Treasure Hunter Meduze and click I'm ready. You can clear the mobs first before talking to Meduze if you like. When the two of you reached the steps there will be a Royal Skeleton and an Undead Singing Girl kill them to make your way through. They can drop a royal family badge or a shabby library token which are required to finish this plot with the best ending.  Making your way through the narrow pathway you will encounter goblins, this will be the area where Meduze will tell you that it's a trap and after killing a bunch of monsters Meduze will either go left or go right. When she walks into the right doorway you should follow her and make way by killing all the monster in her path. She will lead you a stairway going to the right second level of the map until you reach another stairway going to a room full of goblins. Don’t kill all of them yet, just kill enough to make Meduze advance halfway to the room, doing so will stop her on heading straight ahead to the first chest when it appears. You need to open this chest before she does.  To open this chest you will need a shabby library token dropped from the monsters you had killed previosly. This chest will contain a random gem.

Having opened the chest first, Meduze will try to open it herself only to find out that you had made it before she did. Now she will walk downstairs and lead you to another area with two stairways. When she reach the stairs another scene   will play, this scene will trigger Seal Master Sario to spawn at the circle on the upper level. Kill him and be sure to pick the sealer's crest it will drop, you will need this to open the second chest. The second chest will be located above the room with the circle where you killed Seal Master Sario. Be sure to open the chest before Meduze does. After this Meduze will go downstairs using the right stairs  until you reach a statue  and here you will fight two Royal Skeletons and  an Undead Singing Girl.

Seal Master Sario

Finally after killing your way half through the dungeon your final destination will be the royal throne room. Just follow Meduze to the throne room, when the treausre chest appears grab your chance and open the chest using the royal badge.

The throne room

When you are able to collect all the three chest Meduze will attack you to get all your treasures. Now you just have to kill her and you will get Meduza's Treasure Chest as the reward for the dungeon.

Note: Always save royal badge, shabby library token, & sealer's crest in your backpack for your following solo runs.

Meduze as a friend

This is the second possible scenario on the Underground Ruin. I like this plot more than the other because for a start you wont need to rush to open treasure chest saving you if you don’t have the keys yet. Another reason is that it's very straightforward - just kill your way through. And compared to the previous scenario this one will let you kill 3 bosses instead of two, giving you more chances of obtaining good items. While treasure chest gives you a gem each chest, boss monster drops both gems and equipments. This plot will start right after Meduze takes the left path. Kill all monster on the way to the throne room but make sure Meduze enters it first before you do. The royal treasure chest will appear but you will not able to open it.

Fighting Grave Digger Sykes

The sealed Meduze

The dungeon boss, help Meduze against him.

When Meduze get near the chest there will be a cut scene and Grave Digger Sykes will appear afterwards. Kill him and his two sidekicks. Now that you killed the grave digger Meduze will be sealed and will not be able to move.  In order to free her you need to kill Seal Master Sario, kill all monsters on the way to him including those in the library. When you defeat  Seal Master Sario, Meduze's seal will be broken and you need to get to her in two minutes. Go back to the throne room and you two will meet halfway. Escort her back to the starting point of the dungeon. On your way you will encounter Guardian Oridoss and a skeleton warrior. Kill them and make sure Meduze wont get killed on the way. If you successfully escorted Meduze back your mission is accomplished. You can go back and kill monsters you might have pass  before you teleport back to the city.

 If you follow this guide you will get the best reward in the dungeon which is the Medusa's Treasure. With it you can get cool stuff like runes, gems, and soul augmentation. I tried other possible scenarios with this dungeon but they all end up negative so I wouldn’t waste my time writing them.

I hope this guide will help you and good luck on your treasure hunting!

Raising Mounts The Proper Way

Raising a Pet in Eligium is not an easy task, it requires great effort and money. Some players have max their pets stats with an astonishing 9k hp, 9k mana and 500+ damage. If you want to be one of those players who own such strong mounts here are the things you need:

• 40 pcs. Immature Amplification Potion from the item mall
• 1 pc Immature Rebirth Potion
• An egg or a newly hatched mount which hunger has not reached zero.
• Junior magic powders, Intermediate magic powders and Senior magic powders.
• Dedication and luck.

When the egg you got from the mission "The Egg of the Pet" hatches you will notice the +8 before the mount name. I think this is a bug considering a newly hatch pet should be +0. This is the part where many players (including myself) rush into maturing their mount. A +8 immature mount will mature into a mount with stats which will range 1.5k hp, 1.5k mana and 200+ damage. A mount should be nurtured at +0 to gain its maximum stats and to do that you should Rebirth it once it hatches from the egg without reaching the hunger to zero. Once the hunger reached zero I think it's impossible to make it a +0 mount so if you don't have the items needed you should keep the mount in your backpack for a while. 

Now that you have a +0 mount you can equipped it to make it hungry. If you have the money to spare you can buy Immature Digestive Potion from the item mall to make it hungry in no time. You can feed your mount 5 junior magic powder and 4 Immature Amplification Potion per level until it reaches +4. At level four you can feed it Intermediate magic powder and at +8 you should use senior magic powder. Adding four Immature Digestive Potion is a must if you want it to gain higher stats.

You can use Immature Wisdom Potion if you want your mount to have a hidden talent, this is a fourth stat of your mount and will be random. I advice to do this on the first feeding.

Raising your mount needs dedication, from farming magic powders to buying cash items, and most importantly you will need luck because stats gain every level is random.
 

Good luck in raising your mount and have fun!

Pet Bobbi

     Pet Bobbi is a level 27 optional quest monster on the Thoroughly Attack side quest. Killing him will give you sixteen thousand experience points as reward and aside from this it drops very good items. Many players are having a hard time finding him not because of its location but this is because Pet Bobbi has a  very long respawn time which is two hours at most.  Pet Bobbi is located behind Captain Kaword at the end of the Pirate Hideout map.

      The best time and location you'll fine him is at line 2 - 1/3/5/7/9/11 AM/pm. If you can't find him on line 2 try all the lines available. Waiting for about 10 minutes will help. The frustrating part about this is that it will respawn two hours after the last time it was killed so if its not killed 10 minutes after its first spawn finding him at the right time will be purely luck.
