== Gates of Darkness (S3) ==
In the season 3 version of Gates of Darkness, the Dark Bone Dragon is no longer there. Instead, there will be 2 towers, one for your team and one for the demons. Monsters will spawn from the demon gate and now includes 3 boss monsters. You can also summon monsters from your tower. There is however only '''Normal Mode''' for this Revamp.


<br>
=Gates of Darkness=
== Entering The Dungeons ==
The demons have created the '''Gates of Darkness''' as a portal to Elrios. They plan on sending their dark forces into Elrios and create an invasion that will ravage the continent. The only one that can stop them is Elsword's team.

[[File:GateOpening.png|right|thumb|150px|The orb of darkness that will bring you to the field]]
In any time of the day, after defeating a boss of any dungeon, there will be a random chance where an orb of darkness will break, sucking in your party into the '''Gates of Darkness''' field. <br>
After the 25/4/2013 patch, when the orb of darkness is broken, there will be a pop up, asking you if you want to continue on into the '''Gates of Darkness''' as shown below. If you press yes, only those who pressed yes will go into Gates of Darkness. People who choose no will be separated from the party. You are only given 3 seconds to decide. Failing to press anything will result in you pressing yes by default.<br>
[[File:GoDPopup.jpg|500px]]<br>
During KR time (GMT +9:00):
*13:00 to 14:00
*19:30 to 20:30
*22:00 to 23:00
**The chance to enter the '''Gates of Darkness''' field will be increase to about 90 - 100%.


<br>
==Entering the Dungeon==
[[File:Gates of Darkness Counter.png|right|thumb|A counter that appears when GoD is open, indicating the time left to enter and the amount of crystals protected. (before the [[UI Revamp]])]]
Unlike other dungeons, the Gates of Darkness can only be accessed on certain times. When the dungeon opens, only '''Normal''' difficulty can be accessed. Higher difficulties can be accessed when all players of the server completed the dungeon a certain amount of times.
*The dungeon opens at every weekend 00:00, 13:00, and 18:00 PST (NA server time) for one hour.


== Objective ==  
==Gameplay==
[[File:TowerHP.png|850px]]
This dungeon has a unique gameplay. It involves battling waves of mobs, both bosses and normal monsters.<br/>
<br>
There are 15 rounds per play. Each wave ends with a pop out image showing the next round number.<br/>
Your objective of the new '''Gates of Darkness''' is to break down the demon's Tower. The demon's Tower have a lifespan of 20 Health bars and the structure of the Tower will break down after every 7 bars of Health taken away. The stage is completed with the Tower is totally destroyed.<br>
The goal of this dungeon is to protect the "El Crystal" at the far left of the map from the monsters.
'''NOTE THAT WHEN YOU REACH A CERTAIN RANGE NEAR THE DEMON TOWER, YOU WILL RECEIVE A SCYTHE DEBUFF WHICH WILL RAPIDLY DEPLETE YOUR HP AND MP. YOUR CHARACTER WILL BE COVERED IN PURPLE(Similar to Curse debuff) WHEN YOU RECEIVE THE SCYTHE DEBUFF. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO STAY AWAY FROM THE DEMON TOWER UNTIL THE LAST BOSS.'''<br>


All players and mobs will be normalized to Level 1. In addition to that, potions, drinks, and food consumable items that recovers HP at a fixed amount are changed, reducing their effectiveness.


== Gameplay ==
On '''Normal''' and '''Hard''' there is one El Crystal and one portal that spawns monsters. On '''Very Hard''' there are two portals that spawn monsters, and two pathways for each portal. <br/>
[[File:GoDStart.png|850px|A picture of the field that you will be fighting in]]<br>


<br>
In the background of the map, there is a '''Dark Bone Dragon'''. This dragon will continuously charge up various attacks to interrupt the players' progress of defending each wave. It cannot be attacked, and will flee after the final round.
In this field, you are unable to use your own potions and food. Instead, it will be replaced with monster summoning icons.<br>
As in the picture shown,  
*'''Buttons: 1, 2, 3''', the monsters have 3 stages and will change into another Lv set when new ally boss is spawned.<br>(Example: Lv1 Boss will spawn Lv1 monsters set. When Lv2 boss is spawned, the set will change to the Lv2 monsters set. The same applies to Lv3 monsters.)
**If pressing only (For example Button 1), all 3 buttons will receive a cooldown of 15 seconds.
*'''Button 4''', it will either be a blue potion that gives you some MP or a special monster that is much stronger than the regular units.
**'''Button 4 has a cool down of 60 seconds.'''<br>
After some time into the game, your Tower will also summon some boss monsters to aid you in battle. Likewise, the demon's Tower will also spawn regular and boss monsters.<br>
'''In case your party is incomplete''', meaning only having 1/2/3 people in the party, [[Epic NPCs|Epic NPC's]] will spawn to aid you against the demons.
*In a party of 3: only [[El Search Captain Lowe]] will spawn.
*In a party of 2: [[El Search Captain Lowe]] will spawn first, followed by [[Green Forest Ranger Lime]].
*In a party of only 1 person: [[El Search Captain Lowe]] will spawn first, followed by [[Green Forest Ranger Lime]], and lastly [[Red Cross Guard Penensio]].


<br>
If you allow the El Crystal to be attacked, right before it changes colors on the minimap it will tell you "the El power is spreading, the aura of darkness is growing weaker" and one of the dragon heads will return to sleep.


== Bosses ==
==Mobs==
For bosses there are 3 types of bosses: Lv1, Lv2 and Lv3. <br>

==Trivia==
 
*On Very Hard, it is possible to go into the portal and clog up the monsters. They will continue to come out as planned but stay in the portal with you making them easier to kill. You will be pushed out of the portal by shielded mobs and Darkness. This strategy is only effective depending on the class. Female classes have the easiest time getting in and out of the portal and can take out shielded mobs fast enough to keep more mobs from getting through.
== Videos ==
*It's recommended for Male classes to take the bottom row when present while Females clog up the top portal(you only need 1 top portal camping with someone picking up the drops below)

== Trivia ==
*As a lot of monster will be spawned in the stage, you may experience massive lag while playing if your computer can't support it.
*Just like the old seasons of '''Gates of Darkness''', having good equipment isn't required because your character will be attenuate to when you are Lv1 and having no equipment.  
**However, having higher Damage modifiers and Damage Reduction stats can help in this dungeon.
*When the server fails to defend the El Crystal, even if you were offline when the raid completed, there is a chance to give a [[Weapon Breaker]]'s debuff which reduces your attack by 50% (Only applies in Dungeon and Field area) until next GoD. (<-needs confirmation) The debuff stays even if you relog.

Revision as of 01:39, 20 May 2013

NOTE: In KR, this version is no longer available! For information of the new Gates of Darkness, go to Gates of Darkness(S3).

Gates of Darkness

The demons have created the Gates of Darkness as a portal to Elrios. They plan on sending their dark forces into Elrios and create an invasion that will ravage the continent. The only one that can stop them is Elsword's team.

Entering the Dungeon

A counter that appears when GoD is open, indicating the time left to enter and the amount of crystals protected. (before the UI Revamp)

Unlike other dungeons, the Gates of Darkness can only be accessed on certain times. When the dungeon opens, only Normal difficulty can be accessed. Higher difficulties can be accessed when all players of the server completed the dungeon a certain amount of times.

  • The dungeon opens at every weekend 00:00, 13:00, and 18:00 PST (NA server time) for one hour.

Gameplay

This dungeon has a unique gameplay. It involves battling waves of mobs, both bosses and normal monsters.
There are 15 rounds per play. Each wave ends with a pop out image showing the next round number.
The goal of this dungeon is to protect the "El Crystal" at the far left of the map from the monsters.

All players and mobs will be normalized to Level 1. In addition to that, potions, drinks, and food consumable items that recovers HP at a fixed amount are changed, reducing their effectiveness.

On Normal and Hard there is one El Crystal and one portal that spawns monsters. On Very Hard there are two portals that spawn monsters, and two pathways for each portal.

In the background of the map, there is a Dark Bone Dragon. This dragon will continuously charge up various attacks to interrupt the players' progress of defending each wave. It cannot be attacked, and will flee after the final round.

If you allow the El Crystal to be attacked, right before it changes colors on the minimap it will tell you "the El power is spreading, the aura of darkness is growing weaker" and one of the dragon heads will return to sleep.

Darkness Appears at the end of Round 15. Looks like a giant Shadow Blast. Explodes on contact with the El Crystal.

Dark Bone Dragon

The Dark Bone Dragon will be the main obstacle of the dungeon. At the beginning of the dungeon, only one of the Dragon's heads will be awake. As you progress through the dungeon, the 2nd and 3rd head will awaken. The Dragon's attack range is dependent on the amount of heads that are awake. Each head will send out attacks onto 1/4th of the map while the far-left 1/4 of the stage will be untouched by the Dragon's attacks.

Moves

  • Draco Meteor: The Dragon will roar and rain down several fireballs onto the stage. There are 3 different types of fireballs that the dragon will use. Each head of the dragon will randomly be assigned one of the 3 types and will only use that type of meteor for the entire dungeon run.
    • Flame: The meteors will be red in color and will inflict Burn when the players are hit. In addition to their Burn effect, these fireballs can perform splash damage, meaning players can still be damaged when they try to approach the fireballs after they made contact with the ground.
    • Frost: The meteors will be blue in color and will inflict Frostbite when the players are hit.
    • Curse: The meteors will be purple in color and will inflict Curse when the players are hit.
  • Fissure: The Dragon will roar and open a fissure on the stage. Afterwards, stalagmites will rise up and drag any players towards the left and the fissure will close up, knocking anyone standing on ground into the air.
