The Nest (Rev. 49)

The Nest is an extremely dangerous dungeon designed by Mrunibro, a RotMG player and closed tester. It is meant to be a much, much harder version of The Hive, and is the fourth “epic” ( Epic dungeons are a lot harder than their low-level simulacrums ) dungeon released, after Deadwater Docks, Woodland Labyrinth, and The Crawling Depths which were released in 2013.

The best way to tackle this particularly hard dungeon, comparable to a Shatters’ boss difficulty, is contained within cooperation with other players to defeat the boss. It is highly recommended not being close to any enemies in the dungeons, as they do a lot of damage. (Note: teleporting is not allowed so no rushing)

The dungeon can drop Potions of Defense and Dexterity from the larger enemies and the boss is a source of Potions of Life, and the first enemy to drop Greater Potions of Dexterity. In addition, it also drops the ST Swarming Huntress Set, a UT Leather Armor, a UT Dagger, and a UT helmet.

The dungeon can drop from the Killer Bee Nest, an event boss.

Key

The Nest Key is available in the Nexus for 250 . The NEST Pack was made available shortly after the dungeon’s release, and consists of 10 Nest Keys for 2000 .

Layout

Example Layout

There are always 8 rooms between the starting room and dungeon boss room. The treasure room is a guaranteed spawn, and its entrance is past breakable blocks in the northern part of a random dead-end room. The entrance to the treasure room can only be found in one of two rooms:

(clover-shaped, large column in middle)

(multiple honeycomb)

Killer Honey is found in most rooms. It deals 50-70 armor piercing damage to players in it and slows them down more the longer they stand in the honey.

Tips and Strategies

• Knights seem to be the least needed class here unless they have an Ogmur. The enemies can be stunned but approaching them can deter players as it’s risky.
• Understanding confuse controls is necessary but dodging is even more necessary.
• Be aware of the group size: A big group of players can cause lag so it would be wise to adjust your settings. A small group of players means you’re likely to be targeted by enemies so be extra alert.
