Catacombs of Kathandrax is a dungeon that is commonly run for a Hammer of Kathandrax, as well as the Emerald Blade and the Astral Staff.
The quest for this dungeon is called Kathandrax's Crusher, given by Swithin Nye who stands near the entrance to the dungeon. Note that the quest reward for this dungeon should not be accepted or else you will lose your Hammer.

  • This build is meant to be used with the Anniversary Shortbow "Whisper".
  • Critical Strikes can be set to 9, and 9 other points can go into the shield requirement attribute.

Equipment & Usage

Tank

  • Equipment: Assassin Equipment.
  • Usage: Gate on the first two levels, and tank the first room while the "A/N" Barbs gets to pull the boss.
  • Tips: Use enchantment stacking to be tankier (see how Shadow Form works). Use a Zealous Scythe while tanking to gain energy and recast.

Barbs

  • Equipment: Assassin Equipment.
  • Usage: Run to bosses using Dwarven Stability > Dash, and Death's Charge + Ebon Escape. On bosses, use Barbs and Ebon Battle Standard of Honor. On level 3, pull and glitch the Flame Djinn.

Spear

  • Equipment: Assassin Equipment.
  • Usage: Follow the "A/N" Barbs with Dwarven Stability > Dash, and Death's Charge + Ebon Escape. On bosses, use Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support on them, and Great Dwarf Weapon on the ally above you in the party window. On level 2, don't follow the Barbs player across the first room as they are pulling and glitching the Flame Djinn.

Skill level

  • Spearway and its Whispherway variant are the slowest but safest way to complete the Catacombs of Kathandrax. This team is heavily recommended for beginners to learn the dungeon layout, roles and foes.

  • This teambuild is meant to be used with the Anniversary Shortbow "Whisper".
  • Arrange the party to match the team skillbars on the right, so "GDW" players quickly cast Great Dwarf Weapon on the player above them.

Skill level

  • Whispherway is a bit faster than Spearway. This team can be used to transit from Spearway to Daggerway, but is very niche. Compared to the Spearway the Whisperway:
  1. Only gives one Dwarven Stability and Dash set in the team, and everyone has to use Ebon Escape to follow the pace.
  2. Has an increased damage output because of:
    1. Offensive skills: Finish Him, and Way of the Master and Critical Eye.
    2. A new weapon: Anniversary Shortbow "Whisper", which only requires the build to run Critical Strikes to use effectively, instead of splitting attribute points to 9 Critical Strike, and 9 into any weapon mastery attribute.

Equipment & Usage

Equipment

  • Equipment: Assassin Equipment.
  • The Barbs Gater needs pcons and a rune to hit 9 Dagger Mastery, the requirement of their Daggers.

Usage

  • On level 3, the entire team runs into the corner beside the Gate Lock near where the Flame Djinn spawns and kills it. Then, the team makes their way towards the end boss and kills him to complete the dungeon.

Tips

  • On Level 3, keep the Flame Djinn knocked down using You Move Like a Dwarf and dagger attacks supported byGreat Dwarf Weapon.
  • Do not use Death's Charge on Ilsundur before he spawns lava boulders — you’ll trigger them, and they deal instant fatal damage.
  • When Ilsundur drops firebombs, bait them away from the group. The fastest method: run outward, then use Death's Charge or Ebon Escape to reposition. Note: using a shadow step causes you to drop held items.
  • If enough players reach the Infernal Siege Worm, the Regent of Flame, or Ilsundur, you can stop maintaining Shadow Form — its damage cap slows the run, and the bosses should be knocked down and unable to retaliate. Under Shadow Form, consider auto-attacks instead of spamming Repeating Strike, since auto-attacks have a chance to double strike.

Skill Level

  • Daggerway is faster than Spearway and Whisperway, requiring more coordination and experience.

Equipment & Usage

Leader

Gater

  • Equipment: Assassin Equipment.
  • Usage: Someone experienced with a quick load to run to superior levels with smart shadow step uses.

Buffer

  • Equipment: Necromancer Equipment.
  • Usage: Someone experienced, since the team relies on Blood Bond and Great Dwarf Weapon, which has to be used in the following order: Gater > Leader > 1 or 2 Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support.

Evas

  • Equipment: Assassin Equipment.
  • Usage: Use Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support on bosses, and Arcane Echo > Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support > Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support on Ilsundur. Auto-attack with daggers after casting.

Level 3 Specifics

  • Move as a tight group with the leader into the gate corner to break aggro.
  • Kill the Flame Djinn with Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support, Barbs, and Ebon Battle Standard of Honor.
  • The gater retrieves the Boss Key while the leader opens the Boss Lock, then proceed to Ilsundur.
  • The gater should arrive first (due to high Shadow Steps) and trigger Ilsundur, causing fire boulders to spawn.
  • While running through the boss room, the buffer casts Great Dwarf Weapon on the leader and the gater, and uses Blood Bond on Ilsundur to heal party members and bolster the Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support summons.
  • All "EVAS" players chain Arcane Echo > Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support > Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support, and after a Powerstone of Courage is used, may repeat the sequence. Close coordination is essential.

Skill Level

  • [trip]way is faster than Daggerway, requiring more coordination and experience, since it relies on the usage of echoed Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support, which can add up to a total amount of 20 with the usage of a Pstone at the Endboss.
