Puzzles and Secrets

 * To tie or win Tic Tac toe, it's important to know where the AI placed their first move:
 * If the first move was in a corner, pick the center
 * If the first move was in the center, pick a corner
 * From then on, simply block all the attempts of the AI for a three in a row.

 * To easily get through Teleport Pads, simply choose the teleport pad diagonal to where you spawned at.


 * You can check your Quest Log in the SkyBlock menu if Oruo the Omniscient asks for a Fairy Soul-related question


 * To open chests behind 1-block walls, briefly left-click with a Stonk to break the block, and then right-click.
 * If you instant mine a Stairs block in order to pass inside it, you will be able to pass through blocks by instant mining them.
 * The Shadow Fury can teleport to mobs through walls, which can save a few seconds getting out of small chambers with secrets.
 * Mods such as the Dungeon Rooms Mod can display the location of secrets in-game.
 * Tutorials for the fastest secret routes in all rooms, using Stonk, Shadow Fury and Etherwarp Conduit can be found at these links: https://youtu.be/doy4qGN8sLE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGCIBSPUZvA&ab_channel=15h%26yarns


 * There are several strategies for completing the Bomb Defuse puzzle:
 * Use a full Wither Armor set's Witherborn ability in combination with Shadow Fury, if done right, Shadow Fury should teleport you to one of the withers across the wall.
 * Use a Stonk to create a 1x2 tunnel of ghost blocks into the side rooms, and use a Bonzo's Staff to pass through them.
 * Video demonstration: https://youtu.be/uOuw5yGn6lU
 * Use a Golden Pickaxe with or higher in conjunction with high  to pass through the Iron Bars.
 * Summon a Pig Pet into the iron bars, and use a Stonk to mine the iron bars, use Silent Death's ability before the iron bars reform. Complete the process twice can glitch through the two iron bars and complete the puzzle. The puzzle can be started before passing through the iron bars if the puzzle can be done fast enough.
 * Necromancy can be used to start the puzzle.

The Watcher

 * It is possible to camp outside the blood room to prevent the player from getting swarmed.
 * If the spawned mobs are killed as they are spawned, the next mob is spawned sooner.
 * Starting from Floor 4, Watchful Eyes spawn which prevents player to go up of the portal. Therefore, it is highly recommended to not stay up of the portal even at Floor 3.
 * More advanced players may opt to enter a Floor 7 run solo, rush to open the Blood Room, kill the reanimated Giant, then exit the dungeon. This technique is known as "Frag Running", and makes money as Diamante's Handles are valuable.

Bonzo

 * Get behind one of the pillars when Bonzo unleashes his balloon barrage. Dungeon Shortbows or Mage Beam can be useful during the phase to damage him safely.
 * Back Bonzo up into a corner to quickly burst him down as he can't attack and has nowhere to run.
 * If someone on the team has a high enough, they can keep him "stunned" in a corner with relative ease.
 * The Undead are just a nuisance, as Bonzo has no shield unlike other bosses like Scarf and The Professor.

Scarf

 * Always deal with the Priest first. The Priest can heal and even revive defeated Undeads. Go for the Warrior next, as it can unleash a devastating attack and can support the other 3 Undeads when attacked, followed by the Mage as it can unleash a barrage dealing large amounts of damage, and then finally deal with the archer. Keep in mind the warrior unleashes devastating attacks on the person who deals the most damage to the priest.
 * For Scarf's second phase, deal with each of the enemies in the aforementioned order and save Scarf for last.
 * Players looking to kill Scarf quickly can immediately rush Scarf as all the Undeads die after he is killed.
 * Scarf will say "Necro no Jutsu!" or "Dodge this!" and slowly float up when he is about to launch Wither Skulls everywhere.
 * When Scarf emerges from his barrier, all players should go into the tunnel, and try to use their combined powers to take him down before the priest can heal him.
 * The Skull barrage attack can target ghosts. So when Scarf is about to release his Skull Barrage attack have a ghost or a strong tank get close to him to take the main attack and prevent casualties to the rest of the group while they can focus on the boss minions.
 * During the Second Phase, Scarf takes less damage when the Preist is alive, so target him unless the team deals high damage.

First Phase

 * Deal damage to all Guardians equally, as The Professor can revive the Guardians, but make sure to leave the Healthy Guardian at its weakest since that will be a huge problem. Take on the Reinforced Guardian next, since it can launch TNT everywhere and summon Rogue Guardians, and then deal with the Chaos Guardian to get rid of the problem with its Discharge. Lastly, take on the Laser Guardian, as it is like a Rogue Guardian, but stronger.
 * Have the Archer or Mage deal with the Rogue Guardians, preferably the Archer, as the Mage will also be an effective tool when dealing with the four Elder Guardians.
 * All guardians must be killed within ten seconds of each other, or The Professor will revive them.
 * Players should avoid using melee attacks against the Chaos Guardian, as its Discharge deals extremely high damage to nearby players, usually killing anyone it hits.
 * The Professor's barrier can block Laser Guardian's Focusing Beam, which is deadly to players have low Health.

Second Phase

 * Ignore the Rogue Guardians and focus only on The Professor, as all the other Guardians will be nuisances.

Third Phase

 * The Professor likes to target the Healer above everyone else, so make sure to protect the Healer as much as possible.
 * The Ghost Mage's Pop-Up Wall is a way to withstand the TNT Rain.
 * The Professor's Giga Heal doesn't always work; take the opportunity of this as quickly as possible.
 * If everyone crowds around the same place (e.g. the middle), it will prevent The Professor from flying around which then allows everyone to melee it effectively.

Thorn

 * The audience has Fairies hidden among them. (There are 2 in total)
 * Sometimes, one of the four circles on the floor will be engulfed in flames. Luring mobs in there with a Jingle Bell as it deals tons of damage per second.
 * On the other hand, sometimes the circle becomes a small Healing Circle (similar to the Healer's ability).
 * Climb up to the Audience Floor and place a Decoy there. This will lure the Spirit Bats towards the decoy, not only stopping them from attacking players but also being easy kills to summon the Spirit Bear quickly. After that, bait the Spirit Bear over to the stands so you can use ranged attacks on it until it dies.
 * The Bonemerang, Tribal Spear, Phantom Rod or the Terminator's salvation ability can be used to stun Thorn so he is unable to move. This makes Spirit Bow shots easier to hit. One must be cognizant of the Spirit Bats and Chickens while doing so, as they can interrupt the stun; if Thorn is unstunned, he will start moving too fast to hit. This can be easily fixed by using the previous mentioned items, but preferably Terminator, as its ability is faster than any other stunning methods.
 * Each time Thorn takes damage, he will be briefly stunned. If the first spirit bow was saved, an immediate follow-up shot from a second spirit bow will hit Thorn, provided that Thorn has not finished his dialogue.
 * Use the Spirit Boots to fly into point-blank range with the spirit bow to reduce the chance of missing a shot. Alternatively, teleport into the audience area and take the shot from there, as this allows the player to be at around the same height as Thorn.
 * Ferocity no longer works on Thorn.
 * Thorn turns around depending on how many players are in its trajectory.
 * Above the portal there is a small space in which a player can stand, where they can't be damaged by bats and other mobs. This is especially useful for mages.
 * Once a player dies, they can left/right click in ghost form to disarm chicken mines, one of the most deadly aspects of the bossfight.
 * By using an Aspect of the Dragons, Spirit Chickens could be blasted away to prevent Chickens Mines blowing up when low on health.

Livid

 * When a clone dies, the real Livid will shoot a white beam into the air to revive it. The second you see the white beam, target it, and defeat the caster. However, killing a clone heals the real Livid, so this method isn't efficient.
 * Once Livid unleashes his clones, the red mural on the ceiling will change color, the color it changes to is the color of the real Livid. Once Livid spawns his clones, look to the ceiling and kill the corresponding Livid.
 * There is a strategy which the Tank use active taunt abilities such as Castle of Stone, Enrager or Jingle Bells to bait all Livid to the portal, and the other team members find the real Livid as quickly as possible, punch him to the portal and kill him.
 * The Ice Spray Wand can freeze the Livids, and the Gyrokinetic Wand can lock them in place so they does not receive knockback.
 * Solvers can be useful in the Livid boss fight since they can add a frame line to the real Livid.
 * Corners with a ceiling can be used to deal damage to Livids since Livids take knockback from attack that aren't Mage Beam.
 * The Livids can detect your location, even if they can't see you. This can be used that a team standing in a corner(using the old strategy location), and the tank first rush down, and the others follow. Tank use Ice Spray Wand on the Livids, and the others find the correct Livid to punch him to the portal. While the team is doing damage, tank should use active Taunt abilities so that the clones don't disturb the players that are killing the real Livid.

Sadan

 * For the first phase, make sure there is a wall or even better, a corner behind you, and tank the terracottas while using life steal/syphon to gain health back. This works especially well for players playing the Tank or Berserker class, but less well for players playing the Archer or Mage Class. For players struggling with this phase, it is recommended to either get a Baby Yeti pet, or get the healer to put down a healing circle to help you heal. If you ever get low on health, the Shadow Fury's ability or the Florid Zombie Sword's can help you get right back into the fight. A Bonzo's Mask is highly recommended. Tankierplayers can choose to stay in the middle to attract all the terracottas.
 * At Phase 1, despite can't survive, never go to the giants' cage. The higher Y-axis you are, the more damage the Terracottas does.
 * There is a place on the arena that is 2 blocks tall where the golems have a hard time hitting the players, but the players can easily hit the golems. So a common strategy people use is standing up there, angering all the golems, then killing them.
 * Golems should be killed during the 1st phase, between the 1st and 2nd phases, or between the 2nd and 3rd phases unless you are only killing the golems for Ancient Rose. Killing them before the 1st phase delays its start.
 * For the second and third phases, watch out for Bigfoot/Sadan's stomp attack, as it deals extremely high damage, and may instantly kill players that have low . If Sadan/Bigfoot jumps very high, it is recommended to use an Aspect of the End or Aspect of the Void to teleport out of its range, and resume attacking after that. The same precautions should be applied to Jolly Pink Giant's boulder toss ability, which also does a lot of damage, but is a bit harder to avoid. Also, try using magic or ranged attack to defeat the previous mentioned Giants.
 * On the transition to the third phase, do not stand in the middle, as a giant hole will appear and will kill players standing in the middle of the arena and all the tanks(because of the tank passive ability Diversion) instantly.
 * The Gyrokinetic Wand can be used to hold all the Terracottas in one spot so they can be killed more easily. It can also hold Sadan in place so that he is not affected by knockback.
 * An advanced technique is to enter a Floor 6 run solo, rush to the boss room, kill all the Golems and leave. This is known as "Golem running" or "Rose running", and is used to gain XP rapidly as well as some money from Ancient Rose drops.
 * All mobs from the boss fight, including the Giants, Woke Golems, and Terracottas, can be tossed up by a Legendary Golem Pet, making it a good pet if one can't afford an pet like a Baby Yeti Pet.
 * For tank, it is recommended to have at least 1 million Effective Health to be able to heal up whenever low. With tank has at least 2 million Effective Health, the team won't need to kill the Terracottas.
 * For tank, it is recommended to have at least 1 million Effective Health to be able to heal up whenever low. With tank has at least 2 million Effective Health, the team won't need to kill the Terracottas.

The Wither Lords
Players can't use any form of movement abilities and items such as Aspect of the End or Ender Pearl in every phase. However, the Rogue Sword can still be used to gain extra walk speed. If the player has jump boost, it will be removed at the start of the fight. However, a Jerry-chine Gun or a Bonzo Staff still works, so it is possible to move around using the knockback from them. Spirit Leaps can still be used in the boss fight.

A Bonzo's Mask is a must-have item. A Wither Cloak Sword can be useful too.

It is recommended for mage players that have enough to reforge some pieces of armor to Ancient, and their mage weapon to Withered.

Since F7 is a larger map, clearing becomes an important factor. Parties with 5 people should have 2 people (mage/archer or mage/tank) blood rushing until the fairy room or until a nearby trap room, then the archer or the tank splits off and let the mage solo clear while doing the other rooms. Blood rushes should take 1 minute at most, mages with an LCM set should also blood camp, as it would speed up the run. When having a two people blood rush, let the person with the weaker clearing ability be the doorman. If it is a tank/mage clear, the mage should always clear and the tank should stay by the door at all times. When having a mage/arch or less commonly double mage clear, you should alternate between clearing and being doorman, as the person clearing the room would be slower to get to the door.

In this floor, players should also use the quadrant clearing method, where each of the 4 people not blood rushing clear a corner of the map. Also, as a general rule of thumb, always clear before doing secrets, and do not dupe rooms (having 2 or more people in the same room) or skip secrets and puzzles. No one likes seeing a secret count being 5/7 or seeing blaze get skipped.

When the blood camp is done, everyone else should have cleared the map already. If not, the blood camper should stay near the blood room until S+ is reached, but they can still do secrets in the first room before blood.

Maxor
Once the team enters the boss room, 2 players should use the Jerry-chine Gun or Bonzo's Staff in conjunction with lava jumping in order to access the Energy Crystals, and then jump down onto the pads ready to place them. Which players go for the Crystals should be communicated before entry as "Left" and "Right". The rest of the team should immediately proceed to the coal conveyor belt at the back of the room, with 1 team member(typically the tank) hitting the immobile Maxor in order to take his aggro, Jingle Bells, Axe of the Shredded, and the Soul whip are all very helpful items for this. Once Maxor begins moving, the Crystals will be placed and Maxor will immediately move into the laser. From here, it is easy to kill him and begin the next phase.

Storm
If one has Wither Impact or Wither Shield, they can use its ability on the way down to gain an absorption shield to survive better. Another option would be having a Wither Cloak Sword, a Spirit Mask or a Bonzo's Mask.

When Storm starts to engage, there will be a countdown on the screen, once the countdown reaches one, stand under a pillar, use Spirit Mask/Bonzo's Mask or use Wither Cloak Sword's Ability because lightning will struck all of the map. When engaging with Storm, only one player should attack Storm such that Storm does not change targets constantly and change his position under the pillar.

One player should head to the pad and stand in the middle so that Storm can be crushed under a pillar, usually starting with the green and then purple one. Whenever Storm is crushed, the players should deal as much damage as possible, as getting Storm down to half health allows all other pads to be skipped. It is recommended to use a Wither Skeleton Pet and a Last Breath to deal maximum damage to Storm.

It is recommended players eliminate the Wither Archers that are lined along the walls of the room as this will make the boss fight easier to finish because players don't have to dodge so many projectiles.

Be sure not to lure Storm to the red corner of the room as it is a glitched chunk and will softlock the fight.

Goldor
For inexperienced players it is recommended that an Archer does not do the puzzles but rather slow down Goldor with ranged attacks in order to buy more time for everyone to finish the puzzles and ensure Goldor does not catch up. A Berserker can also do this with the Phantom Rod as well and Mages can do this with their left click attack.

For the Simon Says device in part 1, spamming the final button will skip past some of the Simon Says levels.

If a terminal is missed, the Wither Cloak Sword(especially with Soul Esoward), Spirit Mask and Bonzo's Mask can be used to survive Goldor's frenzy and pass behind to the missed terminal.

An Efficiency 10 Golden Pickaxe, a Jerry-chine Gun and a Legendary Silverfish Pet can be used to do the second and third device easier by mining down to the third phase while on the second phase, and turn the lever and item frame to one more step to complete(remember this as pre-done devices don't count as complete)

Necron
For phase 4, it is recommended that the Tank should try to stay in the corner of the slabs in the pillar to allow the Mage, Berserker, and Archer to deal extra damage per second. If there is no Tank, whoever is the tankiest should always go into a corner of a pillar, or whoever Necron is attacking.

Due to Necron having only, successfully using a Last Breath to shoot him five times will essentially make Necron take 60% more damage.

If Necron is taking a lot of damage, his blast radius gets smaller, allowing massive amounts of damage to be dealt.

More experienced players should always call out who will be going to middle, normally being the Archer(Normal) or Healer(Master), and as soon as that person descends from phase 3, they should go to the middle and camp the edge closer to Necron, as to not get knocked into the lava. Whenever Necron heads to the middle, players should teleport to that person immediately and damage Necron.

When doing M7, it is possible to go into Phase 5 early by having an efficiency 10 Golden Axe and Pickaxe. Usually only sweaty and experienced parties do this, but be careful as you might get stuck in the floor and die.
