Monsters

Imperial Tomb - The Imperial Tomb is a huge underground catacomb that once served as the tomb of Elmore's rulers. Tomb robbers are said to have been seen there, drawn by rumors of the empire's riches and relics.

Imperial Tomb is located on Goddard Territory, between Wall of Argos, Ketra Orc Outpost and Hot Springs. IT has two entrances — one from the Wall of Argos side, the other from the Ketra Orc Outpost. side. But the second entrance is a false one: you cannot get into IT itself through it, only into the corridor where the NPC Ghost Chamberlain of Elmoreden stands, the same as the one at the entrance to VoA (after you complete the quest Four Goblets and receive the item Etc jewel red i00 0 Used Grave Pass, these NPCs can teleport you to the noble teleport points in IT. The item is single-use.

There is no ordinary teleport or clan hall teleport to IT. You will have to run there through the whole VoA. There are two Noblesse teleports to IT — one to the entrance (Imperial Tomb) and the second to the very bottom (Four Sepulchers).

Description

IT is considered a dungeon for players of level 76+. Accordingly, there are multiplied (x) mobs, there are no herbs, and the anti-train system works (that is, you can't pull mobs further than the corridor adjacent to the room). Also, you can start leveling here earlier, from 72+, if you are not put off by having to run to IT through VoS every time.

IT is divided into 3 parts:

Map of Imperial Tomb

Monsters and leveling

Most IT mobs (except at the entrance) are level 78 x5, but variations from x3 to x6 are possible; more on them below. Each room has both aggressive and non-aggressive mobs.

Within a room, mobs of the same kind are usually social, but they all have a fairly small aggro radius — they won't aggro from the opposite corner of the room.

Hall

Imperial Tomb, Hall, Screenshot

This term covers the entrance hall and the corridor before the descent to the rooms — x3 undead of level 76-77, weak to holy attacks, weak to blunts, dark attack. The mobs stand fairly far apart and have a moderate respawn time. A leveling spot for small groups (solo/duo/trio) of lower level.

Bugs

Imperial Tomb, Bugs, Screenshot

Three rooms at the start of IT, Bugs race x4-x5; all IT bugs (here and below) resist bows and are weak to blunts. Some mobs resist bleed and have P. Def. variations (reinforced and weakened). They shoot Wind Strike and cast Slow. Even though the mobs have no particularly nasty traits, these rooms are rarely occupied. The reason is most likely that, at comparable "toughness", they give noticeably less experience than the mobs further down.

Polearm room

Polearm leveling is actually possible in other IT rooms too, but these three rooms are especially convenient for small (or not very high-level) polearm groups. To level comfortably with such a group, you can set up either in the room itself (with low DPS) or between rooms, so as to pull from both in turn.

Room "population":

Mage room

Imperial Tomb, Mage Room

An excellent leveling spot for groups from full to medium size (depending on level and equipment). The mobs are mostly undead (x3-x6). Their composition changes a little from room to room, so I won't list them all and will just point out the most common traits: weakness to fire and holy attacks, use of dark attacks, and they periodically cast bleed and slow. The most unpleasant are Dancer of Empire, which use a mass fire attack with a fairly large radius. In some respawn waves there can be up to 6 of them, and if there is no way to neutralize them (trance, silence) or kill them right at spawn, it may cost you a free teleport to town, or at least a drained healer's MP.

Another funny monster of these parts is Imperial Royal Guard - it can enchant its weapon by +10 during the fight.

Fighter room

Imperial Tomb, Fighter Room, Screenshot

A leveling spot for medium groups. All mobs are weak to blunts:

Boss room

Imperial Tomb, Boss Room, Screenshot

Three rooms deep in IT. The Boss itself is an x6 demon with extremely strong P. Def.; it uses a dark attack, is weak to holy attacks and resists dark attacks. L2WH claims it is weak to fire, but in the game the boss itself has no such mark. The boss's guards are x6 undead, weak to fire and holy attacks. The other mobs in the room: Abraxion, Hasturan, Ustralith, Arimanes, Ashuras. Demons x5-6. Weak to holy attacks; their P. Def. is either reinforced or weakened. They periodically cast hex, an accuracy debuff and bleed. They use water and wind magic attacks.

Leveling – possible with up to a full group, although the higher your level, the fewer people you need to level here successfully. A BD and some buff modifier (like CoV, PoV, etc.) are a must-have, otherwise you won't manage non-stop leveling.

L-room

Imperial Tomb, L-Room, Screenshot

A single room at the very bottom of IT, before the entrance to The Four Sepulchers. Mobs of 2 types, Abraxion and Ashkenas: weakened defense, reinforced attack for both types at Ashkenas, greater sleep resistance, weak to holy attacks. They periodically cast stun, slow, bleed, silence and a mass fire nuke. A leveling spot for small groups of 1-2 damage dealers and a buffer. Watch out for possible trouble – the mobs buff themselves with high-level reflect, and as a result damage dealers practically kill themselves.
