This article was shared by waka_waka.

Dragon Nest SEA has released lvl 40 patch and it means that Manticore Nest and Apocalypse Nest will be available for lvl 32+ players. Here is a guide on Manticore Nest and later I will add Apocalypse Nest guide for you.

Stage 1: Rotten Rock Demon

Tips
- Kill mobs then mini boss will appear.
- Lure the Mini boss away from middle statue.
- The middle statue heals surrounding mobs.
- Time stop works on mini boss but not freeze.
- Frozen still stacks for damage multiplier.

Stage 2: Minotaurs

Tips
- Try to kill as fast as possible. Minotaur Knight has buffs which can increase their damage resistance.
- Try to keep each Minotaur in their own section in case your damage isn’t enough, you don’t want them buffing each other.
- Merc can remove their buffs.
- Frozen status doesn’t work on the Minotaur Knight.
- Time stop works.

Stage 3: Medusa

Tips
- There are crystals in the middle of the stage.
- The ground shifts when you see Medusa raising her weapons, also there is a notification count down.
- Immediately go to the crystal that is elevated, the area next to that crystal will recover your hp, much more than what Medusa can dish out.
- Tanks should maintain agro while dps take them out from range.
- Time stop works on Medusa.

Stage 4: Rock Golem

Tips

- Pewpew mobs and then the boss.
- If you don’t kill boss fast enough, more mobs spawn.
- Those mobs drop recovery items.
