The longest and most challenging instance Core Fiesta has ever seen. Powerful guardians, corrupted elemental bosses and Kovar, the God of the Universe, await those brave enough to enter.
Level 100+ · Entrance: the Midnight Brigade gate in Kahal Canyon · Solo or with a party: no party or guild is needed
Entry and difficulty
Walk into the gate alone and you get your own copy of the instance; with a party, the party shares one copy. The monsters scale with the number of players inside the copy: alone they have 40% of their health and deal 60% of their damage, with five or more players they are at full strength (2 players 55%, 3 players 70%, 4 players 85% health). EXP and drop chances per kill scale the same way, so a party still earns more per player through the party EXP bonus.
A-D: the four areas and their bosses, A1/A2 and so on: the guardian groups of each area, P: the central arena where Kovar appears.
Phase 1 - The four tainted elemental bosses (A-D)
You enter in the central arena, where the final boss, Kovar (P), will appear later. As soon as you arrive, all four areas fill up at once: the paths are full of Subsoil Soldiers (level 125), and each area holds a level 130 boss with its Golem guardians (level 125).
| Area | Boss (level 130) | Guardians |
|---|---|---|
| A | Tainted Blaze | Fire Golem, Fire Subsoil Soldiers |
| B | Tainted Aeris | Wind Golem, Winds Subsoil Soldiers |
| C | Tainted Lutu | Earth Golem, Earth Subsoil Soldiers |
| D | Tainted Iglis | Ice Golem, Ice Subsoil Soldiers |
Defeat the four Tainted bosses in any order. There are no puzzles; clearing the guardians first makes each boss fight safer. When the last of the four falls, phase 2 starts.
Phase 2 - Kovar, God of the Universe
The God of the Universe Kovar (level 135) appears in the centre of the arena (P). He does not fight alone: at 75% health he calls in Wind Golems and Tainted Aeris, at 50% Ice Golems and Tainted Iglis, and at 25% Earth Subsoil Soldiers, Earth Golems and Tainted Lutu. Defeat Kovar to complete the instance. The exit gate in the arena takes you back to Kahal Canyon at any time.
Rewards
- Ominous level 125 set armor: each of the four Tainted bosses and Kovar has a chance to drop a piece. It is a normal drop for the group (party loot rules), not personal loot.
- Mini pets: Mini Castor from Kovar, and Mini Blaze, Mini Aeris, Mini Lutu and Mini Iglis from the matching Tainted boss (rare).
- Golems and Subsoil Soldiers drop high-level materials, potions and named equipment.
No time limit
There is no time limit in this instance. Take your time, plan your strategy and focus on surviving each encounter - the instance is still built to test your strength, endurance and teamwork.
Will you conquer Kovar, or will your journey end in defeat?
Good luck, adventurers! - Your Core Fiesta Team
