Home's Lost Atelier (Another Dungeon)/Mechanics/Graveyard
The AD has a time limit of 15 minutes and gives better rewards for faster completion times, with maximum rewards attained at 4 minutes. All mobs are fixed and can be seen on the minimap.
The Graveyard of Sorrows, suggested lvl72, operates similarly to other ADs in which one must clear 3 maps before reaching the boss room. However, chests are replaced with sparkles which give 20/25/30 Pale Scarlet Stones.
The Graveyard of Tears is slightly harder at suggested lvl80 and requires 200 Rust-Colored Magic Stones to enter. Additionally, clearing within certain time limits for the first time will offer unique rewards. The enemies here have around 40k to 70k HP. There is also 1 healing point and 1 exclamation mark per map which refills your AF completely.
There are two Sword Fragments in each of the two maps in the Graveyard of Tears, highlighted in teal exclamation marks, which weaken the boss as per the following.
| No. of Sword Fragments collected | Boss HP (approx.) /millions | Damage Invuln Barrier |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 780 | 50 |
| 1 | 290 | 40 |
| 2 | 140 | 30 |
| 3 | 72 | 20 |
| 4 | 12.5 | 10 |
After collecting all unique rewards from the Graveyard of Tears, the main purpose of running this dungeon is to collect Pale Scarlet Stones. The Bard at the end sells up to 75 Moon Fragments at a rate of 100 Pale Scarlet Stones apiece, for a total of 7500 Pale Scarlet Stones, which are needed to fully upgrade the Hammer of Bond from +5 to +10.
Suggested Progression[edit]
- Enter Home's Lost Atelier for the first time and clear Graveyard of Sorrows to obtain 200 Rust-Colored Magic Stones.
- Run Graveyard of Tears and clear within 4 minutes to obtain all the unique rewards.
- Return to Graveyard of Sorrows until you're able to purchase all 75 Moon Fragments to fully upgrade Hammer of Bond. This will take approximately 10-11 runs total. Purchase a Gathering Orb and a Magic Key each time to make faster progress.
Tips[edit]
- Using AF does not count towards the time spent.
- Skull, Amy, and other multihit characters in a zoneless team will allow you to charge your AF completely to defeat the boss.
- Getting 2-3 Sword Fragments is likely optimal; collecting the 4th may slow you down enough to offset the weaker boss, although it is still possible to collect all 4 Sword Fragments and finish within 4 minutes. (source).
- A mob clearer with fast animations is suggested. An autoattacker which does at least 70k damage such as Tsubame AS, Aldo, Guildna or Heena can also work.
- Getting the magic key before a run in the Graveyard of Tears automatically unlocks a couple of doors, creating shortcuts, bypassing some mobs and making it easier to collect all rewards within the 4 minutes.
- A Gathering Orb allows you to gain an additional 50 Pale Scarlet Stones every round in exchange for 50 Rust-colored Magic Stones, speeding up farming.
- The final Graveyard of Tears reward, Power of Agony (Hammer), is obtainable by clearing Graveyard of Tears in 4 minutes. (Earlier versions of the game had a typo and stated 3 minutes.)
