Last updated: 123.0.0

The Tomb of the Ancients, believed by many to be the place where the Divines were imprisoned by Oryx, is where the very first sentient beings to ever live in the Realm have buried their dead. They have since been slain, but their primitive and weak cousins -- the low desert sandmen -- live on. Many of the original sandmen live on within the nigh impregnable tomb, protected by their combat prowess, traps, necromancy, and eldritch monsters. They are also protected by powerful deities. But the tomb has legendary treasures... To open the Tomb of the Ancients, you must defeat the realm Event God: Grand Sphinx, who when killed, sometimes opens a portal to the Tomb. (or you could use a key) The portal stays open for 30 seconds.

Tomb of the Ancients (Tomb) is the most complex and difficult dungeon as of build 123. It has unique dungeon mechanics such as indestructible towers that causes various status effects, quicksand that slows etc. The Grand Sphinx, which opens the tomb, only spawns once per realm. This dungeon will remain a staple experience as it's the only location that drops [Tomb Rings](/wiki/rings#tomb "Untiered Rings") and the [Tome of Holy Protection](/wiki/tome-of-holy-protection "Tome of Holy Protection").

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's 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.

Bomb Trap

Frequently found between Sarcophagi chambers, along with the turrets.

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.

Taunts(Bosses)

Geb

Awakening (After all the Sarcophagus are destroyed) "ENOUGH OF YOUR VANDALISM" During Battle: "Nut, protect me at once!" Artifact Phase: "My artifacts shall destroy you from your soul to your flesh!" Before Charge/Critical Phase: "Argh! You shall pay for your crimes!"

Bes

Awakening: "THIS WILL NOW BE YOUR TOMB!" Battle: "Impudence! I am an immortal, I needn't take you seriously." "The others use tricks, but I shall stun you with my brute strength!" "Awe at my wondrous defense!" "Nut, disable our foes!" Artifact Phase: "My artifacts shall prove my wall of defense is impenetrable!" Before Charge/Critical Phase: "The end of your path is here!"

Nut

Awakening: "YOU HAVE AWAKENED US!" During Battle: "Bes, become my wall of defense!" "Geb, eradicate these cretins from our tomb!" Artifact Phase: "My artifacts shall make your lethargic lives end much more switfly!" Before Charge/Critical Phase: "This cannot be! You shall not succeed!"

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= [Coming from someone who solos Tombs]: From a first hand perspective, I can say that the Kill Order listed above is sound; however, if you are, say, in a group and your companions or you "accidentally" awaken all three bosses, your best shot is to kill Nut. As a rogue, I have chosen to stay behind after everyone else in my group abandoned the dungeon, and found it immensely difficult to dodge either Weak Bursts, or the attacks of all three Ancients at once. In this case, openings are rare on Bes, and the damage I did with my high Dex (83) and decent attack (~40) still couldn't keep up with Nut's constant healing. If your group abandons you, and if you choose to remain and solo, I strongly advise leaving Bes and Geb alone, and focusing on Nut. Remember though, when she is raging, she charges at the nearest player. Keep your finger on the Nexus key!, and good luck. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
