The **Tomb of the Ancients** is an endgame dungeon whose portal has a change of dropping from Grand Sphinx event boss, which spawns once per realm. The portal stays open for 30 seconds.

The tomb is a source of the rare [Potions of Life](/wiki/stat-increase-potions) and other [powerful untiered items](/wiki/tomb-of-the-ancients#interest), making the dungeon arguably one of the most popular dungeons in the game for advanced players. The dungeon has several hazards, including indestructible turrets that cause various status effects, quicksand that slows movement the longer players are in it, powerful enemies, and a highly strategic boss fight.

**Example of the highly sought after 4 gold room tomb:**

The Dungeon

You enter the Tomb in the boss room. However, the bosses are inactive until you complete the dungeon quests; killing all the Sarcophagi. The Sarcophagi are scattered throughout the Tomb. To reach them, you must deal with quick-sand, indestructible traps, and a host of unique (and deadly) minions - all with significant health, damage, and crowd-controlling abilities. Each tomb has 5 "event" rooms where there will be either sarcophagi or treasure with a minimum of 1 sarcophagi in each tomb. IE, if there were 3 sarcophagi destroyed and the tomb bosses have activated, there must be 2 treasure rooms left somewhere. Once all Sarcophagi are destroyed, the Bosses will become active and the remaining players will have to deal with most challenging encounter as of Build 121.

Strategies

Fast Clear - the fastest way to clear the Tomb is to have a Rogue run-and-cloak to bypass all the intermediate rooms between the Sarcophagi. This allows the remainder of the group to teleport to the quests. This strategy will also involve leaving at least one person near the dungeon entrance, allowing the group to quickly engage the bosses after the last Sarcophagus is killed. The beauty of this strategy is it can be accomplished with very small groups, avoiding in otherwise epic amount of time wasted on lesser minions. As someone who has done many tombs I would suggest doing this on a character you are comfortable with, as well as on any class I highly suggest maxed defense unless you are extremely comfortable with the odd shot pattern and your overall dodging ability. The quickest way to complete the bosses is to kill Bes, Nut, then Geb in that order. If you don't believe you have enough DPS to do Bes first than you can do Nut, however NEVER DO GEB FIRST! I can't stress this enough, Geb is the damager and with other bosses still alive while you attack him that means twice or even three times more of his artifacts which can kill a knight very quickly (See Kalle's youtube channel for tomb videos as referece, yes I mean you XDalla). Other than that have a safe time and happy tombing!

Enemies and hazards

Bomb Trap

Frequently found between Sarcophagi chambers, along with the turrets.

Trap/Switch	Notes

Elemental Turrets

Various elemental turrets are found in most rooms. These cannot be destroyed but can still be temporarily disabled by stuns and stasising. Their projectiles cause moderate damage but inflict dangerous status effects. - Thunder turrets inflict paralyze. Turrets found at the perimeter of a room will shoot a spiral pattern of projectiles in two directions. Turrets found at the center of the room will periodically shoot 4 fast moving projectiles in random, opposite directions. - Flame turrets inflict armor break. Turrets found at the perimeter of a room will aim a stream of projectiles at the closest player. Turrets found at the center of the room will shoot bursts of projectiles in 3 directions. - Frost turrets inflict slow.

Tomb Gang

These enemies have periods of invulnerability and shoot radial bursts of projectiles. Eagle Sentries will chase players while Lion Archers and Jackal Priests will tend to keep their distance from players.

Jackals

Jackals do not cause any status effects with their attacks, but they inflict high damage. Groups of jackals are led by a Jackal Lord, which spawns jackal minions that chase players. Jackal Lords will slowly follow players but will retreat when they have taken enough damage. Jackals are particularly dangerous for players stuck in quicksand and can surprise players who enter undiscovered rooms.

Bloated Mummies and Scarabs

Scarabs are highly aggressive enemies that will chase players and paralyze them and can easily kill characters with low defense or have been armor broken from a fire turret. They spawn from Bloated Mummies.

Sarcophagi

Up to 5 sarcophagi, marked as quest bosses, must be destroyed before the bosses awaken. They are protected by a group of worshiping priests and priestesses which circle the sarcophagus and continuously heal it.

Treasure room

Golden, circular rooms can be randomly found in the dungeon and contain a lone Treasure Sarcophagus in the center, which does not attack but warns players of their vandalism. It can drop Tier 9 to 10 equipment, Tier 4 rings, and all stat potions except for life and mana. Once it has taken enough damage, it will spawn 8 Canopic Jars, which drop Health and Magic Potions when destroyed and occasionally will spawn a lone scarab.

Half-Boss

Half-Boss	Facts
	This is a Sarcophagus It has only one attack: Shoots multiple projectiles that stun for 6-8 seconds It has 8 sentries. They have 4 attacks : one weakens, the other three cause significant damage. Killing off these "sentries" one by one is the best way because they continuously heal the sarcophagus by 200 HP per second. Sarcophagus drops tinctures

Bosses

Boss	Facts
	This is BES He's a Tank His Silver Shield stuns - It looks similar to the white stun of the Sarcophagus. His Fire Boomerang - breaks armor. Stationary on rage phase, but will chase if you get too close. Drops Potion of Life, Ring of the Pyramid, Tome of Holy Protection & Wine Cellar Incantation (Soulbound)
	This is NUT She's a healer and crowd-controller. You will see: Slow, Blind, Weak, Quiet, Paralyze, and Armor Break. Most of these effects come from boomerang bullets and arrows. Each phase there are more status-effecting bullets. Watch out for an arrow with green feathers at final phases. It causes the most significant damage + paralyze. She is stationary during rage phase, but will quickly chase you if you're in range. A rogue's cloak will prevent some targeted attacks. It will not negate damage or status effects. Drops Potion of Life, Ring of the Sphinx & Wine Cellar Incantation (Soulbound)
	This is GEB His role is a damage dealer His grenades hurt. There are more grenades for each phase Watch for Darkness Bullets (280hp per hit, ouch), more bullets for each phase. They also pierce. Other bosses also use the Darkness Bullets. They all hurt but not quite as much as Geb's. Stationary on rage phase, but will back up if you get too close. Charges forward approximately every 8 seconds if a player is in range during rage phase. Drops Potion of Life, Ring of the Nile & Wine Cellar Incantation (Soulbound)

The Fight: All bosses are activated together and circle the center of their room. Each boss has different phases based around their total HP. Each phase typically entails more bullets, damage, crowd-control, different movement speed, and different boss positioning. The natural kill order is shown in the above table from top to bottom (due to Pyramid Artifacts and Bes' abilities being the least deadly of the three bosses) Build 121 Fight Changes: The room has a lot more quicksand and now has 4 large pillars and 4 small pillars to hide behind for the fight. The addition of more quicksand makes the fight harder than the previous build.
