Introduction
The Battle for 'Aurora' is part of the Wheel of Fate raid system. You can join by forming a party or registering randomly in the Squad window. Note that energy is required to register for the raid.
Once registered, you will be transported to the deck of the Aurora ship, which you must defend. Buff up, restore health and mana, and summon pets if desired, but avoid setting them to attack monsters. Familiar characters such as Captain Charlotte, Mage Morin, and even Iliante the Divine will accompany you on the ship.
To complete the raid, you must defeat three bosses: Atakor, Hordrag, and Dzaris.
Walkthrough
The attack on our ship begins from the left flank. Turn towards it and prepare to face hordes of similar monsters. Each flank is attacked for exactly 5 minutes, with waves of several mobs each. The next wave will not appear until all mobs from the previous wave are defeated. The faster you defeat the mobs, the more courage points you accumulate during these 5 minutes. After the five-minute period, a message will appear:
Quickly finish off remaining monsters and move forward to the left flank deck. Turn right to see a cluster of crates and barrels. For safety, position yourself behind them (ranged classes often stand inside, while some players climb onto the crates, but the strategy remains the same).
Behind the crates.
At this stage, remember that the boss has no AoE. The AoE affects the entire deck from the boss down towards the 'tail' of the ship, regardless of where the tank stands. Therefore, the tank stands with everyone else by the crates. Standing in front of the boss only burdens the healer unnecessarily. Sometimes the AoE turns towards the crates if several players quickly draw aggro from each other.
After defeating the first boss, take a break and recover with potions or food and drink. Some players prefer to leave the raid at this point, as the quests of Grace and Luck require only the defense of the Left Flank, but doing so forfeits the completion reward.
Monsters of the second attack. The next attack comes from the right flank and is similar to the first, with differences in monster attack strength, appearance, and names. Monsters of the second wave can cast various curses on players.
For example, Acid Gargoyles can cast the Acid curse, reducing movement speed and attack power temporarily. Curses can stack up to three times.
After the monster attack, the second boss, Hordrag, appears. Similar to the first boss, hide behind the crates to defeat him.
There are 3 bosses and 3 waves. The mobs in each wave are random.
Courage
Courage points. For killing monsters and bosses, players earn Courage Points, which can be spent on useful items. Courage Points accumulate as you defeat monsters and bosses. Spend them on auxiliary gear to make defeating the third, final boss easier and faster. If not defeated quickly, the ship will catch fire, and the mission will fail. To avoid failure, head to the central deck where familiar NPCs stand: Iliante the Divine sells remarkable Song items that significantly boost attack, defense, health, and mana. Before the next monster wave, buy Songs for attack and health.
The best Songs cost a significant amount of Courage Points, but collecting all three enhancing Songs grants an achievement:
Melody of the Heavenly Peak. Attack tab. Significantly boosts character attack.
Melody of the Rock. Defense tab. Significantly boosts character defense.
Melody of Blood. Life tab. Significantly boosts character health.
Additionally, Iliante sells various Prayers in the 'Collection' tab with unique effects. Whether to purchase them is up to each player.
Finally, the last monster attack comes from one of the flanks. It's advisable to remove pets, as they can cause monsters to get stuck, leading to delays or failure. These monsters have stronger attacks than previous ones, come in pairs, and have good health. Players with low defense should use Songs for protection, but still monitor their health closely.
After defeating them, the group runs up the deck to the helm, where Dzaris will appear. The final boss presents no surprises except for a mass attack, but defeat him quickly to avoid mission failure. Using a Song to boost health before his defeat can alleviate death concerns temporarily. A ranged class with sufficient health can also tank the final boss.
Captain Charlotte After defeating the final boss, exchange Courage Points for rewards from Captain Charlotte, located near Iliante and Morin. In the reward exchange window, choose scrolls suitable for your level or exchange for various stone shards.
Reward
Condensation Scroll (Level 50, 60, 70, 80). Contains an Astral Cluster matching the character's level.
Additionally, completing Aurora grants the Hurricane Crystal, which can also be exchanged for rewards (it's recommended to exchange only Courage Points and save Crystals until needed).
There's also a small chance a Faith Source, needed for level 70+ faith skill upgrades, will drop from a boss.
Important: After leaving the raid, all Courage Points disappear, but Hurricane Crystals remain.
Exit the raid using a personal teleport or by speaking to NPC Morin, who will send you to the ground entrance in the Sands of Oblivion area.
Killing the final boss also rewards 3 roulette chests.
