Description

There is not a gate icon description for this region.

Notes

Each level map is composed of randomly generated segments.

Levels are populated almost entirely by Devilites. Other fiends such as Trojans, Silkwings, and Gorgos can be encountered in scenario rooms.

Similar urban terrain can be seen in the Concrete Jungle and Dark City.

During the March of the Tortodrones event players will actively hunt fiends by exploring deep Devilish Drudgeries. These levels have a very high population of fiends - any fiend has a chance to drop Fiendish Glyph materials during the event.

Loadout

Loadout Disclaimer

As always, use whatever gear you are most comfortable with, as long as it does not interfere with the strategies and success of the squad. Some gear can be significantly more expensive than others, so you should always factor in economics when considering loadout options for missions. Will the gear help with only a few specific areas, or many? Will it pay for itself quickly, if at all? There is usually more than one way to solve problems - these are what work for many players.

A piercing or elemental sword can take care of fiends, but Devilite dodging causes high spread weapons such as the Blitz Needle and Dark Briar Barrage to be very useful. Equip a defensive shield such as the Dread Skelly Shield or Crest of Almire and block often. Armor and Helmets should have high shadow defense. Be mindful of the level's status stratum. Advance slowly and try to fire charge shots from behind other party members while their shields are up. This strategy is particularly effective against many fiends in general due to their sporadic attack behavior and relatively weak defenses.

Lore

The office minions of the Underworld are a disgruntled lot, attacking any unauthorized personnel on sight. While not terrible threats on their own, they can become far worse if one of their Pit Bosses gets a hold of them. Watch out! — Information Module
