The Adventure:

My guildmates and I organized an adventure to try out Bakonawa instance dungeon. The invitation is open to all but we can only invite members that has completed the access quests. Luckily we were able to organize a party where we have the crucial jobs namely Professor, Bard and an attack speed based character. 

 

From Port Malaya we travelled to the Bakonawa Cave by exiting the right map then entered the lower right portal where reach the Bakonawa Cave. We navigated inside the dungeon until we reach Taho. Taho is responsible in creating the instance dungeon. 

 

We talked to Taho to trigger the instance dungeon. Upon creation of the instance, we entered the dungeon with excitement. We have members where this is their first time entering the dungeon so this will be a new adventure for them. We buff up ourselves and immediately face Bakonawa 

 
Phase 1:

When Bakonawa appeared in the middle of the Lake, Sadness immediately laid down Land Protect to prevent area of effect damage to the party. Both StarB and Masayoshi Acid Bombed Bakonawa until the MVP receded into the lake. Other members also helped on the attack. 

 

Phase 2:

We were able to brief the party regarding the phases of the dungeon so both our attack speed based character kxxz and Destra went separated ways to break the gongs at the left and right of the Lake. Some of our members were curios on this phase so they also helped on breaking the gongs. 

 

Phase 3:

Bakonawa re-immerges from the Lake enraged and more powerful. Sadness laid down another Land Protect as Bakonawa bombard our team with Meteor Storms and a little of Storm Gust. Our Biochemists also did not stop their attacks until we were able to take Bakonawa Down for a few minutes. 

 

I didn't have a screenshot of the treasure box or our loot but we were able to secure a Bakonawa Doll for this run. 

 

We went back to Taho to tell what happened and received 5 Ancient Grudge each as a reward. 

 

Comments:

As I have expected, the Bakonawa Dungeon is still a straight forward dungeon with easy to follow mechanics. The crucial part of the run is to maintain the Land Protect while the MVP killers are busy on the attacks. Even with the renovation implemented by ROMSP, I believe the dungeon can easily be completed by a smaller team as long as they have the crucial jobs on the party.
