Hey guys, Shozu here and ready to explain all you need to know [or most of it] about the Invasion of Yangak! NOTE: The maps are randomized and are SELDOM in the same order two invasions in a row!
The First Map: The first map is almost always the jumping map. Simply follow the path of steps all the way to the top portal while avoiding the falling molten rocks, pale ghost faces, and the incessant amounts of lag due to everyone playing too
Sometimes, the first map will turn up to be a map where you have to kill 10 White Monsters that wield a spear in their hands to proceed to the next.
The Second Map: Now, the second map [as what weve seen so far] is the Black Dust monster map. There is a door that is blocking the way to the next room in this area. what you should remember is that there are two types of people participating in the invasion of yangak. Collectors [ People that collect the unique monster piece puzzles, items, etc. et.c] and Invaders [ People that want to beat the Silver/Gold Guard in as little time as possible. If youre an Invader, forget the Black Dusts, dont waste time on them in this map. They only slow progress down. Instead, head to the top of the pillar and then use some falling attacks to break the door that is blocking the way. It does take a little time since you eventually have to fall, but the more people that help break it, the faster it goes.
Sometimes, the second map can be a combination of a maze that shoots fireballs similar to the ones in the Tower of Fates Chamber of Pain Maps, but these fireballs are 1 hit KOs if un-blocked.
The Third Map: At this point, randomization takes hold here, and it can be anything from the bombardiers map, the large jumping map that drips down little fire droplets from the top, or another 1 Hit KO fireball map that is harder than the previous one. Just know that the key to most things that 1 Hit KO you is blocking. Many of the dangers of the Haunted Castle deal percent-wise attacks instead of Def-based attacks, and will therefore kill you regardless of your HP if you are careless.
The First Areas Boss [Armored Gate]: This is the gate that must be destroyed in order to head into the 2nd phase of the invasion. It uses 3 different types of attacks. On the ledges, the gate will emit laser beams that shoot out from different sections of the ledges, or spray gas. If you want to avoid the laser beams, note that the gate will always show a little circular start-up icon that signicates that it is about to fire. That means you want to get off of that ledge immediately and start attacking from a different ledge. Simple time when the patterns come up to effectively dodge all the lasers. Protip: There will always be a chance to evade the lasers because the starting of one circular icon means the end of another ledges laser. The other type of attack [The Gas] is emitted out and will strike you if youre too close to the gates faces. Try to stay back. The Third type of attack the gate uses are the spears at the bottom. They are unblockable and kill anything bold enough to stay in their way. Jump up to one of the ledges to avoid them or run out of the map LOL.
Once the Armored Gate is killed, Yangak shows up and tells savers that his silver guard is waiting for us in the Second Phase of the Invasion!
