Nidhoggur Renewal Farming

Nidhoggur's Nest is one of our favorite farming dungeon in-game because of the possible Piece of Agent Skin [1] that will be dropped. However renewal hits our main servers so our concentration shifted on the new contents of the game. The fact that Nidhoggur's Shadow level has been raised to 117 and mobs has been boosted too it would be hard for us to survive the dungeon.

Waiting for Nidhoggur's Nest instance to be created

When Angel and I hit a level higher than Nidhoggur and a life that could survive the Nidhoggur's Guardians, we revisit the dungeon. Our first trial is like the getting to know stage that we had pre-renewal but not totally. We already know the dungeon mechanics but we are still need to formulate renewal strategies for the dungeon.

Doing preparations before facing Nidhoggur's Shadow

After many trial and error we were able to face Nidhoggur's Shadow with ease. The first maze task became difficult in renewal because of the boosted HP of Nidhoggur's Guardians. Scouting and killing every single guardian is harder now. The monsters damage on the maze was significantly reduced but the when faced with a mob their damage will be felt. The second maze is easier because all you have to do is to navigate to the other end of the map. We knew the maze so it's easy for us to navigate. Visit my Nidhoggur's Nest guide for the details of the instance dungeon.

Batting Nidhoggur's Shadow head-on

At the boss room, I initiate the attack by throwing my first Lex Aeterna at Nidhoggur. Nidhoggur and his mobs on the other hand chased me in retaliation  but my Angel was quick in attacking the MVP with Extremity Fist. The MVP shifts his attacks to Angel while the mobs maintained its target on me. The difference with our strategy from pre-renewal is that we faced the MVP head on now. Angel is concentrating more on tanking and attacking the MVP with Extremity Fist. On the other hand I see to it that our buffs are maintained especially Sacrament and every Extremity Fist has paired with Lex Aeterna while tanking the mobs. In a few minutes we have taken Nidhoggur down without being teleported on the side rooms.

Not so rare loots dropped!

We had a bad luck on this run but we have started farming Piece of Agent Skin [1] again. It only takes few resources in doing this instance because of the convenience that renewal gave us. Also, this instance dungeon is an alternative way to level because Nidhoggur gives chunks of experience.

can i ask a question? is it possible to handle the guardian part with 2 man without any garm armors? please answer thanks!

I'm not sure. I think you have to device a way to disable the monsters because the first part of the dungeon has huge mob. Maybe you can use pest card instead?

regarding to the 1st post, i am doing the proxy quest regularly in new loki without garm armor,im using swordfish carded armor to reduce damage from waterball.

Herbert said...

Wow Roy! hello there. hehe
Aw limipat ka na pala kaya pala wala na yung mga tambay sa New World. sayang naman.

Sige papakumusta kita kay Amy. Medyo lie low din sya. ginagawa lang namin yan pag nagpapajob up eh. Hindi na din kasi mabenta proxy ngayon.

Salamat sa additional input mo regarding sa possible armor. hehe.

Kung sakaling maligaw ka ulit sa Valkyrie magsabi ka lang.
