One of the four Court of Oryx dungeons, the Lair of Shaitan is a high-level dungeon consisting of a boss fight against Shaitan the Advisor. The dungeon was recently reworked and the difficulty and rewards were both increased compared to the original. However, players still generally do not consider the dungeon rewarding enough to justify its difficulty; therefore, the dungeon remains highly unpopular except when an Event Chest is active. In those cases, players will typically ‘chain’ the dungeon by opening keys for a large group of players in the Nexus or in the Grand Bazaar through Discord servers.
The boss and his minions hit hard and defense will not help here. It is highly suggested to have a 6/8 character and to maintain good dodging skills in tight spaces.
The priest can be extremely helpful in here. The tight battling area and armor-piercing bullets will hurt everyone badly, but the priest is able to heal everyone and protect them from a fiery death. A Tome of Purification can also be extremely useful in small groups preventing players from being overwhelmed by being Paralyzed.
With the Archer’s paralyzing quivers and the Huntress’ coral trap, they can paralyze the Creepy Small Heads to allow the group to back off far away from them.
The Lair of Shaitan guarantees an Attack Potion to anyone that survives the fight, along with chances for Life Potions (one of which is guaranteed) and Vitality Potions. In terms of equipment, it drops three relatively powerful items - the slow but powerful staff of the Magmatic Mystic Set, a unique UT skull that can cleanse status effects, and a wakizashi that can inflict severe burst damage.
However, the dungeon is widely considered by players as one of the dungeons in the game with the worst risk vs reward ratios, if not ouright the worst. While players are guaranteed an Attack Potion, the incredible difficulty of the dungeon makes any potion that isn’t the Life Potion arguably worthless on a character that can feasibly defeat Shaitan in the first place. The fact that many players have reservations about the practicality of most of the UT items has also discouraged many players from running the dungeon.
The Lair of Shaitan can be accessed via the Court of Oryx, which can be accessed after defeating Janus the Doorwarden, the secret boss of Oryx’s Castle (which can be accessed after destroying all Armor Suits in the map which can be found in all hallways before the courtyard). Janus is an easy fight with a ranged but takes time if you are soloing (which is unlikely due to a high boost of Janus’s drops making him highly sought after). Janus drops the Court of Oryx when killed. Once inside, the “friendly” NPC Craig will open a portal to each mini dungeon, including the Lair of Shaitan.
Since this is a boss dungeon, it has only one room. Most of the room is covered with highly damaging magma. The initial arena will gradually sink into the magma as the fight progresses.
