The Shugo's Request (Level 4-6) — Aion Walkthrough

Prequesites: Ensure you have your infused stone, 50+ Major Life Serum, 150+ Major Mana Serum, 10+ Greater Running Scrolls, 20+ Greater Healing Potions/Roots, 20+ Greater Courage Scrolls, 5+ Perer Aether Jelly, and optionally a Seed of Detection. Casters should have ample mana serums, and all players need enough life serums and CC pots/roots for transformations. Greater Courage Scrolls are recommended for Tank, Chanter, and DPS, with MB buffs for Sorc/Spiritmaster. DP food is for emergencies.

Party Setup: A mandatory party includes a Templar (tank), Cleric, Chanter, Sorcerer, and Spiritmaster. A Ranger or Assassin is recommended for locating Tree bosses, though a Gladiator can substitute with careful play. Chanter mantras and buffs are crucial as some attacks can one-hit players.

Watch Aggro: All group members must constantly monitor their aggro to prevent adds, which can lead to wipes, lost time, and lower ratings.

DPS, DPS, DPS…: Maintain high DPS at all times. Focus on burning down mobs quickly. Consider enhancing the Tank's gear and then gearing up other members. Even the Cleric should contribute to DPS during heals if possible.

The Start: After confirming all consumables and buffs are ready, activate the artifact to enter Dark Poeta. Once everyone has zoned in, open the door and proceed right, evading initial mobs and patrols until you reach the village.

The Spiritmaster Boss: Clear the single-pull mob in front of the village, then the patrol inside. Take out the two mobs on the left. Always position the tank to face mobs away from the group. Proceed to the waterfront, clearing mobs and any potential adds, being careful not to pull the village patrol. Defeat the two guards in front of the Spiritmaster boss's building, waiting for the patrol to move away for a single pull.

Spiritmaster Boss Strategy: To avoid engaging additional spawns after the boss dies, drag the boss to a niche in the water. This allows you to tank-n-spank while line-of-sighting some AoEs. The Spiritmaster uses nasty AoEs, Sleep, and two Reflect spells. Dispelling the boss's shields (Nightmare and Mind Division) is crucial.

The Lake: Head to the lake and circle it on the top level map to clear aggro from surrounding mobs. Then, attack the three bosses. Start from the location indicated on the compass, watch the patrol to your right (optional to kill), and note the invisible spawn near the tree ahead.
