Sinestral Manor Walktrough

A walktrough of the instanced dungeon.

First Section
The first part of the dungeon is composed of five rooms. The first two are filled with many Vampirs and Witches, with some Wraiths. They aren't a threat for a party, but remember (especially in the second room) to fight only a few mobs per time, because they can still kill you. The third room is optional, filled with Wraith minions, but it's better to clear it anyway because of good loot and XP. To reach the other two rooms, you will have to pass trough a long corridor: the Vampirs in it aren't a problem, but be careful when you reach the Wraiths: you can ignore them, because they don't move, but it's difficult to pass due to their draining skill. Take them down carefully and you won't have problems.

For the fourth room, you should follow the same rules as the second ones: few enemies per time. This time it is very important to save energy for the optional boss (if you want to fight it, of course). Ignore the corridor in front of you and turn left to reach this section's last room. It is full of Lokians, but nothing that could make you have trouble.

Kagaron
When you clear the last room of the first section, a gate opens and Kagaron comes out. He's a big Popori who betrayed the Kingdom (at least, this is what his name says), and he has a hammer. A big hammer. You probably won't like that hammer. This is a linear fight: in fact all that Kagaron does is hitting with his heavy weapon. And of course, it inflicts heavy damage. All that you need for this battle is a good healer who can restore the health the boss takes off, and Kagaron will die quickly.

Second Section
After you defeated Kagaron, return in the previous room and enter the corridor you ignored before. This corridor leads to the second part of the dungeon. In those rooms you will find many Lokians and other mobs, but nothing that should be a problem.After all the cultists are dead, you will reach a room with two stairs. Talk to Jelena here if you have to, then climb up to the other floor. You will reach a small room with a single Vampir lady and some minions; defeat her and go on to enter the second boss' room.

Duchess Tirania
Duchess Tirania is not alone. She is surrounded by her vampiric attendants and many, MANY minions. I hope anyone is so stupid to immediately attack her: he might die very fast. It is important to clear the room before attacking Tirania, because she will summon more minions during the battle. She has powerful magic attacks, but after you deal her a certain amount of damage (I really don't know how much exactly) the Duchess will stop fighting and will start running around the room. After a bit of damage she will stop and summon even more minions. Tirania is not a very strong boss, but fighting her is really annoying, and not only because of the minions: she lasts a lot. Anyway, after her death the path to her husband will open.

Duke Volperon
After clearing one more room filled with Lokians, you will reach Duke Volperon's lair. The Duke is a vampiric gentleman, but don't expect an easy battle. He has powerful attacks and a lot of energy, so he won't go down fast. You will need both a healer and a tank doing their job or someone may die. Anyway the boss isn't so hard to take down a party of 4-5 people, so the battle may be easier than you think. After Volperon's death, the way to the last boss opens.

Third Section
The last section of the dungeon is at the ground floor, again. Return to the stairs' room and jump down, then reach the sealed door, which is now opened. There are few rooms in this area, but the enemies inside are really a lot. In the first room you will find many Disc Reapers on the side; shoot them from distance, because they don't move. After clearing the room, you will reach the very bottom of Sinestral Manor. Kill al the enemies here, especially the sorcerers on the sides, because they might be a problem while fighting the last boss. When the room is empty, get ready to fight and destroy the stone at the bottom of the room.

Malgarios
When the stone is broken, a cutscene will show Akia, a Lokian priestess, fleeing and sending a big monster against you. That's the last boss, of course. Malgarios, Akia's pet, is a huge, very huge Arachen. He is a strong boss, really harder than Tirania and Volperon. He takes a lot of damage on players and has quite fast moves, which are a bit hard to avoid. He can also summon some minion Ovoliths, which are not a real danger;anyway they can be really annoying because of their high defense (very high for a minion), so it's important to kill them as they appear or, if you can, stop Malgarios when he tries summoning them. It's a good idea to run to the other side of the room, so the boss will come there making the battle much easier. In fact Malgarios won't summon minions there (because he needs to go to the centre of the room to do so) and you will be able to focus on him. If you manage to defeat Malgarios, congratulations: you have just completed the instance!
