Altar of Blood Guide

Introduction

Altar of Blood is a PVE challenge designed for a party of 3. Adventurers must work together to protect a relic in the middle of the room from waves of monsters that spawn from the portals. There are 21 stages in total, and each stage increases in difficulty. You must clear each stage to unlock the next. There are rewards for your first-time clear of each stage, and weekly rewards depending on the highest stage you are able to clear.

Cleared stages do not reset. You can resume your challenge each week from the highest stage you have previously reached.

Stages of Altar of Blood

There are 21 Stages in total. Some stages are “normal” stages where your main purpose is to defeat monsters rushing toward the central relic. If monsters reach the relic, its HP will decrease. If the relic’s HP reaches 0%, the stage will fail.

In the “boss” stages, a specific boss appears. Your goal is to defeat the boss while completing specific mechanics. Bosses enter berserk form 6 minutes after appearing, significantly increasing their AP and DP. If the boss is not defeated within 8 minutes of appearing, the stage will fail.

In each stage, an Afuaru Graverobber can appear. Killing Afuaru with back attacks can heal the relic by 10% HP.

Stage No. and Type	Recommended Stats	Mechanics / Tips
1 – Normal	300 AP / 390 DP
2- Normal	305 AP / 390 DP
3 – Boss (Thundercloud Kutum)	310 AP / 400 DP	At 50% HP, Kutum goes into the middle and will have a DP buff. You have to kill the 3 smaller Kutums around the room to debuff him again.
4 – Normal	315 AP / 400 DP	The mobs that spawn in waves move really fast so you have to be quick to react
5 – Normal	320 AP / 400 DP
6 – Boss (Ronin)	325 AP / 410 DP	At 50% HP, mirrors will spawn inside the 3 smaller doorways. Each person has to go to a mirror and destroy it. You only have a very small window to destroy the mirror. If you don’t destroy it, waves of monsters will continue to spawn from the mirror until the end of the fight
7 – Normal	330 AP / 410 DP	Make sure you kill the catapult that spawns from the big doorway, as this deals ranged damage to the relic
8 – Normal	335 AP / 420 DP
9 – Boss (Sangoon)	340 AP / 430 DP	At 50% HP Sangoon will do several attacks and spawn Changui that blow up when they hit you. The fight is very similar to Black Shrine and you just need to dodge the attacks until you can hit again. Sangoon may also spawn 3 smaller tigers, which walk towards him. You have to kill the 3 tigers to stop him from healing.
10 – Normal	345 AP / 430 DP
11 – Normal	350 AP / 430 DP
12 – Boss (Duoksini)	355 AP / 430 DP	Around 50% HP, Duoksini summons monsters with a moon or sun icon above their head and a notice appears saying either “Moon” or “Sun”. Kill the monsters with the correct icon. There is also one other mechanic when he reaches around 30% HP. There will be 6 blue and yellow flames around Duoksini, and 2 dokkebi monsters will walk towards a flame each. The flames will then start to move around. You need to follow the flames the dokkebi walked into, and when they stop moving, destroy those flames.
13 – Normal	360 AP / 430 DP
14 – Normal	365 AP / 440 DP
15 – Boss (Gumiho)	370 AP / 440 DP	At 50% HP, Gumiho splits into 3 clones. You have to kill all 3 of the clones. The fight and attack patterns are similar to Black Shrine
16 – Normal	375 AP / 440 DP
17 – Normal	380 AP / 440 DP
18 – Boss (Jigwi)	385 AP / 450 DP	The attack patterns are the same as Black Shrine, with flames that spawn around the room and his 1 shot ability that he charges. At 50% HP, Jigwi says “I want to be happy” and he will shoot fire AOE multiple times. The AOE will be in 3/4 of the room, and after each hit will rotate clockwise. Stand inside the safe area and move around the room into each safe zone. After the fire AOE, he will summon circles on the ground. The circles can either be “small” circles or “large” circles. If the circle is small, 1 person must stand in the circle. If the circle is large, 2 people have to stand inside it. If you do the mechanic correctly, the fire AOE will be repeated, and then circles will appear again. You must do it correctly 3 times before you can go back to attacking Jigwi.
19 – Normal	390 AP / 450 DP	Focus the Muraka monsters from the big doorway. These monsters do a large AOE that kill the other monsters in 1 hit. If you kill the Muraka near the relic, it will hit all monsters in the room
20 – Normal	395 AP / 450 DP	Focus the Shamans as they are quite tanky and deal 5% damage to the relic if they hit it. Fish can spawn from the smaller doorways and are quite hard to see so watch out for those
21 – Boss (Jordine)	400 AP / 460 DP	Jordine’s attack patterns are very similar to the weekly Throne of Edania fight At 50% HP, Jordine starts charging an attack, and 3 blue circles appear. Stand inside the circle to teleport you onto a floating platform in the air. You need to jump between the platforms to avoid the damage pulses that strike the platforms. After about a minute, Jordine performs a large blast that breaks the platforms, and you continue to fight him again as normal. Fight him similarly to the first 50%, but watch out as there is a lot of high damage AOE lightning attacks. At around 10%, he disappears and does a series of high damage circular/conal attacks. After he’s finished with these, he becomes stunned, and DR debuffed in the centre of the room.
