Monster Survival

Abandoned Subway

Level 25-30 players should seek out Mr. Lim in the Abandoned Subway Station in the Construction Site North of Kerning City. From there, they may enter the Dusty Platform to fight their way through three stages to the legendary Platform for Train 999 bonus map where Subway Lost and Found prize boxes filled with consumables await! Those who do not go to the bonus map right away will receive the Train 999 Boarding Pass that will grant entry to the bonus through Mr. Lim. Those who slay 10,000 of these beasts will even be awarded with a medal and the title of Honorary Employee!

A maximum of 4 players can enter at one time. The goal is to endure the clear time for each stage while keeping up the gauge on screen (by not having misses). When the gauge reaches zero, the game is over. The ‘Cool’ effect is applied when the attacks are consistently successful. Once all stages have been cleared, a rank is given based on the percentages of kills, misses, and cools made up to the last stage. There are S, A, B, and C rank. EXP is given relative to the rank.

Honorary Employee Medal: For hunting 10,000 mobs or more in Abandoned Subway.

Req Lev: 25

HP: +90

MP: +90

Nett’s Pyramid

More powerful players of level 40+ may wish to head for Sahel 3 and look for Duarte. There they’ll find the entrance to Nett’s Pyramid. The pyramid is a five-stage lost tomb with separate difficulty levels based on player levels (Easy (levels 40-45), Normal (levels 46-50), Hard (levels 51-60), Hell (levels 61+)). Once all stages are cleared you will be able to go to a bonus map immediately or return later by using a “Pharaoh’s Yeti” item with Duarte. Once in the bonus map, gather as many Pharaoh’s Treasure Chests as you can to find awesome consumables!

When the gauge reaches zero, the game is over. The ‘Cool’ effect is applied when the attacks consistently successful. While playing, the user can use a critical attack when a certain amount of kill gauge is accumulated. While playing, Pharaoh Yeti will show up. If he is attacked with a normal attack, a ‘Miss’ will occur. The gauge will decrease at this time. Once all stages have been cleared, a rank is given based on the percentages of kills, misses, and cools made up to the last stage. There are S, A, B, and C rank. EXP is given relative to the rank.

Protector of Pharaoh medal: For defeating 50,000 creatures or more in Nett’s Pyramid.

The heck? They were always dropping as intended (at least for me). I thought it was the charms from the last part of the quest that were glitched.
