Ranheim Defense |
Ranheim Defense only has one map, with a time limit of 10 minutes and various portals that teleport players between the middle and the left / right sides of the map. During Ranheim Defense, a Body Fragment will appear in a random location and attack the Ranheim Rod in the center of the map. To destroy them, you must charge Light Magic by defeating the surrounding monsters. Once the energy is full, you can press the NPC Chat / Harvest key on top of the Light Magic Launcher in front of the Body Fragment to destroy it. After defeating 9 Body Fragments, Hekaton's Fragment will appear, which must be attacked using the Light Magic Launcher a total of 3 times; after each hit, it will teleport to a random location.
Upon successfully defeating Hekaton's Fragment, you will be taken to the Reward Stage.
