March of the Tortodrones is an event-exclusive prestige mission available during March of the Tortodrones.

Overview

Description:

Pieces of fallen Tortodrones and clusters of Dark Matter have been showing up in the Clockworks, leading Spiral HQ to believe that the Fiends are somehow linked to the disappearance of those once-mythical beings. In order to discover what the Fiends are up to, you will need to find a way to unlock one of their Grim Gates and travel through it. Spiral HQ suspects that the glyphs that the Fiends carry with them might be the keys to opening the gate yourself.


Objective:

Investigate the Ancient Grove and put a stop to a Fiendish plot.

Notes

This mission was introduced during the first March of the Tortodrones event in 26 February 2014.

It does not have a Gate Map.

Strategy

Pencil.gif This article needs to be updated.
Parts of this article are inaccurate and/or no longer up to date. Please update it to reflect recent events, and remove this template when finished.

Reason(s): could use some polish

- moved to better name, doubt this is linked to externally.

In general, shadow and shock resistant gear with a high amount of normal will suffice. The tortodrones utilize a variety of attacks that deal different types of damage, and none of them are shadow. But the plethora of fiends all deal normal and shadow damage.
