Doing so will remove the chains, consume the ID card, and [[Party|lock the party]], similar to how using a [[Shadow Key]] works.

March of the Tortodrones

Mission List: Prestige (Event) Important Stratum Themes: Monsters: Status: No theme, but and from Tortodrones is problematic Rewards: None, though defeated Tortodrones will drop Ancient Shells.

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.

Gate Map

Name: Ancient Grove
Depth: 0
Level Link: Ancient Grove is a special lobby reminiscent of the Gloaming Wildwoods.

Name: Call of the Colossi
Depth: Depends on rank
Level Link: Call of the Colossi is unique to this mission.

Notes

This mission was introduced 26 February 2014 during the 1st March of the Tortodrones.

Its Gate Map is not displayed in-game. It must be discerned by viewing the friend list.

Recommendations

- 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.

Defenses:

• Sacred Falcon Hex Helm (considering fiends - elemental/normal/piercing UVs ideal)
• Sacred Falcon Hex Armor (considering fiends - elemental/normal/piercing UVs ideal)
• Crest of Almire (considering fiends and AoE shocks, elemental/normal/piercing UVs ideal)

Offenses:

• Volcanic Pepperbox
• Iron Slug
