The party will be lock after the ID Card is used. To "use" the ID card, simply have one in your arsenal, and interact with the portal that has the chains and the lock on it. Doing so will remove the lock and consume the ID card. The party can proceed to the next floor once everyone is standing on the pad.

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.
Players must defeat two corrupted [[Tortodrone]]s. Devilites and rarely Greavers can spawn infinitely from portals.
