==Overview==
'''<big>Death's Abyss (Lv.50)</big>''' is the first of the 50 Lv. dungeons in '''Paola's Dimensional Circle'''. 

''The Arkeum Legion sent one expedition after another into Syleus's Abyss, desperate to harness the dark power residing within. None were prepared to face the countless monsters roaming the passageways, nor navigate the labyrinth. Every expedition failed. Upon discovering Heliber, the Legion seized on the idea of using him to gain control over the Abyss. They eventually managed to capture him, imprisoning him in a stone casket. Yet even stone could not hold Heliber forever, and when he broke free of his prison, he was even stronger than before. The sole Arkeum Shadowmancer to survive the encounter called upon the specter Karnix for help.''


Are you ready for your first Lv.50 dungeon? With this guide, you will be!


==Party Finding==
Lets start with basics, which is finding yourself a '''6-man group.''' 
To do that, there are few ways. You can either make a party and '''link your party in World Chat''', or you could use a better, more efficient feature, which is automated '''Party Finder.'''
To do that, click '''Esc''', then find '''"Find a Party".''' From that step click '''"Request Matchmaking"''' and choose the dungeon you want. Below that, select your '''role.''' Depending on what class you play, you can choose between '''offensive, defensive and a healer.''' Each party should consist of '''4 Damage dealers, 1 tank and 1 healer'''.
After choosing everything, you should get a notification at the bottom of the window telling you how many people are queueing up and which roles did they choose. Once you find 6 players, you should get a window like this, where you have to '''accept''' your entry:

You can also choose more traditional way, which is linking your party in the '''World Chat.'''. After gathering 6 people, go to:
'''Esc -> Co-op Dungeon -> Dimensional Circle 1* -> Death's Abyss'''. 
Notice that you can also choose the difficulty of the dungeon, either '''Basic''' or '''Challenge'''

==First room and second room==

Once you get to the first and second rooms, make sure to stick to one wall (in most cases its left wall) in order to '''NOT''' pull many monsters. You can avoid hitting monsters and just kill those that you '''have to.'''

On your way, be ware of '''ARBITERS'''. If he doesn't get CC'd while using his skill, he will wipe entire team. When Arbiter says: "I'll wipe you all!" this is the time for your Tank to use any form of CC on him. It should look like this:
[[File:3arbiterCC.jpg|class=img-fluid]]


<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4 order-2 order-md-1">






<big>'''Use CC on this line '''</big>                <big>'''----------------->'''</big>

</div>
<div class="col-md-8 order-1 order-md-2">
[[File:wipe.jpg|class=img-fluid]]
</div>
</div>


The list of '''CC's''' that work on Arbiters:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Sword and Shield !! Greatsword !! Crossbow !! Staff !! Dagger
|-
| {{Skill|Chain Hook|active}} || {{Skill|Stunning Blow|active}} || {{Skill|Multi-Shot|active}} || {{Skill|Icebound Tomb|active}} || {{Skill|Shadow Strike|active}} (Epic)
|-
| {{Skill|Fierce Clash|active}}
|-
| {{Skill|Strategic Rush|active}}
|-

|}

<big>'''After killing Arbiters, focus the healer on the right.'''</big> 

</div>
<div class="col-md-8 order-2 order-md-1">

</div>



The same situation appears with another Wizard + Healer in the next room. Make sure to kill the healer first so the fight doesn't take much longer.




==Elite Arkeum Shadowmancer - 1st Elite==
<br>

<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4 order-2 order-md-1">










<big>For this miniboss, having your <big>'''CC'''</big> ready is also crucial. The most important mechanic of the boss, is the '''chokehold spell.''' The boss will lift up '''3 people''' in the air, and if the boss is NOT cc'd during this stance, the 3 people will '''immediataly die.'''</big>

<br>

== Levers ==
<br>

[[File:lever.jpg|class=img-fluid]]

<br>
<big>There isn't much philosophy to this part, you have to use '''2 levers''' that remove both '''fire''' and '''venom''' barrier in the next miniboss's room.</big>
<br>
<br>
<br>

== Elite Arkeum Riot Squad Captain - 2nd Elite==
<br>
[[File:squadcapt.jpg|class=img-fluid]]
<br>

<br><big>
When it comes to this second miniboss, your tank (Sword and Shield) has '''the most important role here.''' You have to pay attention to his '''2 stances''', followed by '''2 voice lines''' he says.</big>
<br><br>
<br>

<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-5 order-2 order-md-1">
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>

<big> In his first stance, he puts up a '''barrier''' that will absorb any damage coming into his way. During this stance he will say '''"Impossible!"'''</big> 

</div>
<div class="col-md-7 order-1 order-md-2">
[[File:impossible.jpg|class=img-fluid]]

</div>
<br>
<br>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-5 order-1 order-md-2">
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>


<big> In his '''second stance,''' he will deal a '''massive AoE''' that will wipe your entire team. This is where your '''tank''' needs to act. During his "Die!" voice line, your tank has to use {{Skill|Strategic Rush|active}} skill, to push the elite and cancel his stance. </big>

== Karnix - Herald of Doom [BOSS] ==
<br>
[[File:BOSS.jpg|class=img-fluid]]
<br>
<br>
'''Congratulations, you've made it! Now, time for the boss.'''<br>

There are '''4 mechanics''' you have to take into consideration, but do not worry, they are easy.

<br>
=== First boss mechanic ===
<br>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3 order-1 order-md-2">
<br>
<br>
<br>


<big> The first mechanic of the boss, is a spell that's '''UNDODGEABLE.''' Karnix teleports to the target with the '''most range''' and uses a skill that you simply just have to tank it. But don't worry, it deals very to little damage. </big>

</div>
<div class="col-md-8 order-2 order-md-1">
[[File:UNDODGE.jpg|640px|class=img-fluid]]
</div>
</div>
<br>
<br>
<br>

=== Second boss mechanic ===
<br>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3 order-1 order-md-2">
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>



<big> The second mechanic of the boss is a simple '''Q block.''' You should use it, when you see a purple circle on the boss. Make sure to not use it either '''too early''' or '''too late'''. </big>

</div>
<div class="col-md-8 order-2 order-md-1">
[[File:Qblock.jpg|640px|class=img-fluid]]
</div>
</div>
<br>
<br>
<br>

=== Third boss mechanic ===
<br>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3 order-1 order-md-2">
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>



<big> The third mechanic are '''scythes.''' Karnix marks '''3 targets,''' which then are followed by scythes, that deal substantially '''high damage''' if they do not avoid them. Those 3 targets should run away with '''Shift (morph).''' </big>

</div>
<div class="col-md-8 order-2 order-md-1">
[[File:scythes.jpg|640px|class=img-fluid]]
</div>
</div>
<br>
<br>
<br>

=== Fourth boss mechanic ===
<br>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3 order-1 order-md-2">
<br>
<br>
<br>
<big> The fourth and last mechanic of the boss is a '''6 MAN CIRCLE'''. Immediately right after scythes, the boss will put a circle under '''one person'''. All of the 6 people need to gather in this circle and prepare for the '''Karnix's AoE damage.''' All people in the circle should be '''FULL HP''', and right before his blow, your '''SnS tank''' should use {{Skill|Stalwart Bastion|active}} for extra damage reduction for your whole team.  </big>
