Lost Ark: How to complete the Hildebrandt Palace

As you continue through Lost Ark, clearing dungeons becomes increasingly difficult. Due to its complexity and high requirements, the Hildebrandt Palace Abyss Dungeon in particular might be difficult to complete. As a result, we've compiled a guide to assist gamers in completing the Hildebrandt Palace Abyss Dungeon.

How to complete the Hildebrandt Palace

To take on the quest, you must have a minimum gear score of 460. Furthermore, if you have not completed the first three Abyss Dungeons, you will be unable to enter the Hildebrandt Palace.

Defeating Phantom Legion Queen

The Phantom Legion Queen is the first boss you'll encounter in the dungeon. She is extremely powerful, and she has the ability to wipe out your entire health bar in a matter of seconds. As a result, it's critical to grasp her assault strategy and properly handle the combat. When she generates a circular wave, it delivers immense damage if it comes into touch with you. This is one of her most powerful attacks. If you look attentively, you can see that the circular wave is divided into four slices, one of which is empty.

To avoid the approaching damage, the plan is to go to the blank portion. Two purple orbs will appear on top of her head before she attacks, and they will migrate to one of the dungeon's corners. You must follow the orbs wherever they go since it will be the vacant space when she releases the circular wave. However, this will happen in a matter of seconds, so keep alert.

Her other primary attack, where she teleports to the dungeon's center, levitates, and produces purple waves that instantly kill anyone who touches it, is considerably more dangerous. When she accomplishes this, mirrors will appear on the map, which you must use to avoid the death waves. These mirrors serve as teleport portals, transporting you from one location to another. You can't just use any mirror, though, for that will lead to your demise. Instead, you must find two mirrors of the same color and teleport using them. She fights with shockwaves and basic attacks in addition to the attacks listed above. These, on the other hand, are rather simple to deal with and shouldn't cause you too much bother.

Defeating Brelshaza 

After defeating the Phantom Legion Queen, you'll face Brelshaza, the dungeon's second monster. Brelshaza's strikes, unlike the previous boss's, do not knock you out instantaneously (in phase 1); yet, she is more powerful than Phantom Legion Queen and will run circles around anyone who arrives unprepared.

Brelshaza has two phases that must be overcome. During her first phase, she will occasionally tilt the entire floor at 45 degrees and summon massive boulders that will roll down from the ceiling. Any player who is hit by the boulder will take a lot of damage and be pushed to the ground. There is no strategy involved in this game; instead, you must rely on your reflexes and quick movement to escape the boulders. She will also summon a meteorite on any random player, as denoted by a giant red mark while summoning the boulder.

Once this occurs, the player must travel closer to Brelshaza and deal damage to the incoming meteorite. On top of Brelshaza, there is a health bar that can only be reduced by utilizing these meteorites (regular attacks will not work). In addition, the dungeon will only return to normal once her health meter is completely depleted. In her first phase, she will also conjure spirits to combat you and your crew. These spirits attack in a cone shape and have the ability to freeze anyone who is hit.

When Brelshaza is vanquished, she enters her second phase, in which her strikes become more powerful and chaotic. As soon as the second phase begins, she acquires a shield, which you must immediately demolish, or you will perish in a single attack. Brelshaza will mar a random player from your party when she gets down to 15 HP, and three black orbs will appear on top of the individual. Meanwhile, the other three players will be given a light beacon that they must aim at the marked player within 10 seconds.

Although it appears to be simple, it is actually difficult since Brelshaza will try to suffocate everyone. If you and your team complete this task in a timely manner, you will be able to avoid the AOE damage that an incoming meteorite would cause. Failure to do so, however, will result in all of you dying immediately. This is everything you'll need to know about the Hildebrandt Palace Abyss Dungeon. Remember that dungeon fights are more about avoiding and effectively overcoming various gimmicks than about dealing high DPS.
