Dragon Nest Manticore Nest Guide by waka_waka

Dragon Nest SEA has released lvl 40 patch and it means that Manticore Nest and Apocalypse Nest will be available for lvl 32+ players. Here is a guide on Manticore Nest and later I will add Apocalypse Nest guide for you.

Stage 1: Rotten Rock Demon

Tips
– Kill mobs then mini boss will appear.
– Lure the Mini boss away from middle statue.
– The middle statue heals surrounding mobs.
– Time stop works on mini boss but not freeze.
– Frozen still stacks for damage multiplier.

Stage 2: Minotaurs

Tips
– Try to kill as fast as possible. Minotaur Knight has buffs which can increase their damage resistance.
– Try to keep each Minotaur in their own section in case your damage isn’t enough, you don’t want them buffing each other.
– Merc can remove their buffs.
– Frozen status doesn’t work on the Minotaur Knight.
– Time stop works.

Stage 3: Medusa

Tips
– There are crystals in the middle of the stage.
– The ground shifts when you see Medusa raising her weapons, also there is a notification count down.
– Immediately go to the crystal that is elevated, the area next to that crystal will recover your hp, much more than what Medusa can dish out.
– Tanks should maintain agro while dps take them out from range.
– Time stop works on Medusa.
