Rano and Connous Ruins
4dungeon
With this guide, we will unlock the secrets of the hidden ruins in the land of Iria.1. Discovering the Site of Ruins of Iria
The site of ruins for Iria and Connous are notorious for always changing places. You can use L-Rod to find these sites of ruins, and you can ultimately end up with a special title and an enchantment. That being said, this site of ruins will disappear a week after initial discovery. After that, you’ll have to start all over again and re-discover the hidden ruins
2. Entering the Site of Ruins in Iria
Once you enter the lobby of the ruins, instead of seeing the Goddess Statue you may have seen at various dungeons in Uladh, you will be greeted with an altar that highly resembles a monolith. Just as you did in the lobby of the dungeons, enter an item for offering on the altar, and you will be sent to a ruins dungeon based on the item.
* Creating the Dungeon of Ruins
Offering an item at the lobby of the ruins is the same as giving an item to an NPC as a gift. Click on an item in the inventory, and drag it to the altar in the ruins to see your mouse cursor change to [Give]. Then click on the object to create the dungeon of ruins.
3. Various Traps in the Iria Dungeon of Ruins
The ruins in Iria feature a vastly different set of traps and courses from the ones you have seen in dungeons of Uladh, especially the traps that feature monsters turning translucent to recover HP.
The translucent monster will recover its HP before turning back into a regular monster, so it’s highly advised to use bows and arrows to inflict damage on these tricky monsters.
We will now discuss the various distinctive traps that can only found in these dungeons of ruins.
1) The Center Pillar
This is when the pillar is found at the center of the room inside the ruins.
Strike the pillar once, and you will encounter three groups of translucent monsters. Strike the pillar once more, and only one group of monsters will remain, ready to battle until the bitter end.
2) The Box
This is when a single box is found inside the room. Click on the box, and you may encounter at least 1 group of translucent monsters.
If you see 2 or more groups of monsters, they will take turns being translucent, as featured above.
3) Monsters Disappearing with Time
This is a trap where when the box is opened, the summoned monsters will periodically disappear.
As you can see in the images above, the summoned monsters disappear periodically, so the longer you can drag this battle, the easier it becomes for you.
4) Monsters Appearing with Time
This is the trap that features translucent monsters periodically turn into regular monsters.
Since more monsters are being added periodically, it’s very important that you finish these monsters quickly in order to avoid being trapped inside a room surrounded by a huge group of monsters.
5) Box + Pillar
This is when both the box trap and the pillar trap appear in the same room.
Click on the box inside the room, and you will unleash 3 groups of translucent monsters, while uncovering pillars in each corner.
If you strike one of these pillars, all the monsters will disappear and the door will open. The other pillars, when struck, will bring out 1, 2, or even 3 groups of monsters.
4. Reviving at the Site of Ruins
If you find yourself knocked unconscious inside the ruins, the choices for revival are as follows.
1) Revive at the previous Warp Point.
This will allow you to revive at the last warp point. You will recover 100% of your HP, 50% of your injuries, and you won’t lose too much EXP. The last warp point in Iria is usually either [the last giant mark you’ve visited], [Filia], or [Qilla Base Camp].
2) Revive at the Dungeon Entrance.
This will allow you to revive at the entrance of the dungeon. This means you will have forfeited your progress in the dungeon and will have to start over again. You will recover 100% of your HP, 50% of your injuries, and you won’t lose too much EXP.
3) Revive at the last Statue of Goddess.
This will allow you to revive at the last object (most likely the altar) you have remembered in the ruins dungeon. You will recover 25% of your HP, 10% of them lost due to an additional injury, and a significant loss of EXP.
4) Ask Nao for Help.
Anyone that has subscribed to Nao’s Support service or Fantasy Life Club service will have the luxury of Nao helping you out on the spot. You will recover 100% of your HP and injuries, and every item you are currently equipped will be blessed.
* Nao’s Support is recharged at 6:00 am Erinn time, and you have up to 3 Nao’s Supports per day.
5) Wait for Rescue.
This will allow you to wait until another character (animal included) comes in and revives you. You will recover 10% of your HP and not too much EXP.
