Dark Fortress is the respective dungeon for the City and is accessed by the Dark Fortress Key. It is the sole source of the Blademaster's Memory and Torn Banner which are required for crafting the Blademaster's Shroud and Royal Banner respectively. Up to 3 players/mercenaries can enter Dark Fortress.

The Dark Fortress consists of 4 waves:

• 40 Black Knights
• 12 Imbued Black Knights
• 6 Black Knight Titans
• 2 Black Knights and 1 The Advisor

Recommended Gear

A party for dungeons usually consists of 2 DPS and a tank.

DPS

Two-handed weapons have higher DPS than one-handed ones at the cost of lower defense, however when using a tank character, the other 2 team members can use two-handed weapons for the extra DPS.

• Level: 50+ in Magic and Defense.
• Armor: Greater Imbued Gear or Elder Gear.
• Weapon: Elder Staff or Sylvan Staff paired with Ancient Nature Amulet. Critical Strike greatly improves DPS.

Tank

Ancient Nature Amulet is a good choice for tanks regardless of Nature's Blessing buff, because of the Fortitude enchantment on it.

• Level: 50+ in Defense and Magic or Strength.
• Armor: Stygian or Runite tank set.
• Level: 50+ in Magic
• Weapon: Stygian Battleaxe or Runite Battleaxe paired with Stygian Shield or Runite Shield enchanted with Healing which greatly increase a mercenary's Health, or Sylvan Staff paired with Ancient Nature Amulet for a more healing/defensive buff focused tank.

Monsters

All the Dark Fortress monsters are weak to Magic and Crush with resistance to Melee and Range. The Advisor has +200% defensive poison affinity, so a poison build is not ideal.
