General Approach

Card of Destiny:

After the content starts, 4 cards will be presented, and you can check the battle characteristics of each monster. Cards are set randomly each time, and only monster cards that need to be conquered sequentially are activated first.
Each time you defeat a monster, the card for the next monster to be defeated becomes activated.
There are monsters that must be defeated before encountering the final boss, and you can defeat other monsters and utilize them in various ways depending on your choice.

Morale System:

In the Goddess of Death story, you will be affected by the morale system when fighting monsters.
Each monster has a set level of morale, and depending on whether the level is high or low, it can be advantageous or disadvantageous. If your moral is higher than the boss, that boss take more damage.

For players, you basically start at level 1 and can obtain a level equal to the morale of the monsters you kill. Below is the moral level of every boss. As an example, if you want to face Camirak the Omen Bird (level 5 moral), you should defeat Falling Ostry (level 3 moral) and Gluttonous Taigo (level 3 moral) first.

The Shimmering Archipelago:

Time Attack is activated in the Shimmering Archipelago area.
You must clear the archipelago within the time limit, and if you fail, the monster 'Veroro' will appear in the Hall of Silence area (next area). You're basically facing an extra boss here. Defeating either Falling Ostry or Gluttonous Taigo will reset this timer.
After defeating 'Camirak the Omen Bird', you can enter the next map Hall of Silence. If you defeat this bird before the Time Attack, you won't have to face Veroro and also gain extra moral level.

Hall of Silence:

In the Hall of Silence area, survival support will appear in random locations. You can obtain up to 5 supports, and they are available upon selection.
When acquired, various effects and buffs are provided and can be used for additional strategies.
The dungeon will be cleared when you defeat 'Flawless Death Vissima' located deep in the corridor.

Falling Ostry

Ostry do room wide attack. There are purple area on the map, dig them up and hide to avoid Ostry attacks.

Ostry does a scream. If there are big rock with a health bar, destroy it. If left alone too long, it will explode and do room wide damage.

Ostry trap you with rocks. Look for the one with health bar, destroy it and get out.

Berserk pattern: Ostry aim at a player (marked with the drumstick). You need to get to the shard, dig it up and bring to any purple area before Ostry hit you. Do this 3 times.

Gluttonous Taigo

You can't damage Taigo, but instead you need to hit its tree partner. The tree spits out green orb, you need to catch it before it hit the group (would do room wide damage)

Taigo does lots of attack around the map. You need to guide the tree to hit Taigo.

The tree spit out lots of plants around the map, and Taigo start to chase you. Guide Taigo to pick up the plaints to fill up its gauge. You get groggy if gauge is filled.

Camirak the Omen Bird

Camirak pattern is created by standing on one side of the map. Then bird totems will approach Camirak. Each time Camirak absorb a totem, stack count will decrease. However, when you see a glowing totem, you need to prevent it from being absorbed (or it will cause room wide damage).

Note that if you picked the Camirak card in the beginning, there will be an extra flame glowing totem. This one won't be destroyed when you touch it like the regular glowing totem. It will only get knocked back. So you need to watch out for this special one and continue to knock it back.

Rubra the Profane

Her unique pattern is to slow down the map, then target you. You will see arrows around you. Press dungeon special key (default TAB), then use your arrow keyboard to clear those arrows out. The number of arrows increase as pattern goes on.

She can summon circle that expand and shrink. The circle causes damage, so jump if needed. Afterword, the circle will indicate if the damage area is inside or outside it.

Nesting Veroro

Berserk pattern is when Veroro launch player in the air. Make sure you land on the wind orbs, then run to Veroro and press "X" to reduce stack count. Do this 3 times.

Veroro creates room wide attack. Take the wind orb on the map to clear out the damage area.

Kind Death Cenir

Cenir target you with a cat. On the map, there's another cat. You need to drop the cat on you to the other cat before the cast bar is up.

Cenir divide the map (similar to Largo the Unshackled map slide pattern). You need to hit the black orb two times. Cenir will do this multiple times. Afterward, three circles appear on the map. These are your safe zones for the map attack. Then the circle explode afterward.

Flawless Death Vissima

Floor sweep: This is Vissima common pattern. She hits the ground and leaves a mark. Whichever direction the mark smear is the direction her attack area is.

Sometimes there's a flower on the map, if you take it, instead of taking HP damage from floor sweep attack, you gain fire status instead.

Vissima creates purple clones of you on the map. Those clones move the same speed and direction as you. There will be same number of crests on the map. Some crests will have purple color, some will be red. The goal here is walk the matching color clone to color crests. If you need to change your clone color to red, run it into the flowers on either side of the map. All success run will create a safe zone at the end of pattern.

Phase 2 transition to a dark room with a purple and green orb. You need to guide the purple orb to the purple circle. At the same time, when you attack the green orb, it will decrease Vissima's morale level, which can be beneficial.

There's not much in phase 2. Vissima casts lots more floor sweep on the map so just need to dodge a lot. She also will have red sword at the top. Watch out for the cast bar and jump appropriately.

Sometime Vissima will put red swords on the map that cast floor sweep pattern. You can use the red flowers on the map to turn those sword purple, thus deactivate it.
