Wastelands

Wastelands is a level 160 dungeon required to obtain Tartaros and Gaia Weapons. There is no easy mode for Wastelands .

The dungeon features 3 minibosses located around the dungeon that must be defeated in order to spawn Nihilus, the dungeon boss.

There's no drop rate buff for Wastelands, so many players opt not to clear. Most monsters will simply disengage after enough distance, so many groups choose to run straight to minibosses, only clearing monsters as needed.

Battling Nihilus

In order to obtain the strongest weapons in the game, you'll first have to best Nihilus. This boss is extremely dangerous and should not be taken lightly!

• Minions

  • Nihilus will periodically spawn sets of minions to swarm your party. These minions can one-shot damage dealers and should be immediately lured by the tank and AoE'd down swiftly.

• Floor patterns

  • Like other Hard Mode dungeons, Wastelands features many patterns players must watch out for including Blue (damage), Green (holycross), and Yellow (stun) patterns. It's recommended to pay attention to the tank's positioning, since the boss will use cross patterns that can be avoided easily by standing diagonal relative to the boss.

The damage patterns in Wastelands will instantly kill you! Make sure to dodge them, or equip an [Ultimate] Meteonyker Card in your weapon just to be safe!
