The Wine Cellar, a location with one of the highest casualty rates and the best item drops in the entire game, it is the end of fate for the inexperienced and pathway to wealth for others.
Ranged classes are preferred, able to inflict damage from far away as long as there is a hole in the shield of minions. Ninjas, Wizards, Necromancers, Huntresses, Assassins and Archers have abilities that inflict damage on a target through the shield, giving them more opportunities to do damage.
If you are a knight, you can stun Oryx 2 by simply circling him clockwise inwards, if you are circling counter-clockwise then you are risking yourself rushing into Oryx 2 when you get hit by a confuse star, when you are close enough, stun him and back off, you never know if you missed the stun or not, if you do stun him, continue to chain stun him until you are out of stuns, and back off 2 seconds or so before the last stun wears off.
if you are a melee class, wait for a knight to stun Oryx 2 then start to attack him, count how much time has passed after the last stun and back off before the last stun wears off
Be careful and opportunistic. Try to stay just a bit away from the main crowd of players, where most of Oryx’s barrage is going to be aimed at. Move a little to the side where you can be helped if you run into trouble, yet can immediately move in and deal damage if you find a gap in the shield.
When Oryx begins chasing you upon reaching below 22,500 hp, be grateful. Any of the classes using Staves or Wands can actually hit Oryx without themselves getting hit while backing up. Easy damage. Be careful of the big white stars he shoots, these inflict weak for a whole minute.
Players begin on 2 ends of the map; which is shaped like a maze; and progress through a bunch of enemies which inflict a range of status effects on you. Watch out for Slow and Confuse because these 2 hinder you the most. Yet still reaching Oryx 2 itself is fairly easy, given the fact that the enemies you encounter are mainly stationary. Almost any character can rush this unique dungeon with obviously the utmost care. Don’t be afraid to Nexus, its better to live and try again next time.
Upon reaching Oryx 2, you will find the fight to be completely different than from the Castle:
This dungeon is one of the few places where the priest shines (many say it has become dull because of the introduction of pets). The best setup for this dungeon is the most expensive, sadly. A priest with Def and Speed maxed, Recompense and Crystal Wand, Holy Guidance, Purification/Geb Tome and six mp pots the priest is one the first to O2. The trick is to buff yourself with the speedy of Guidance and keep up that buff. If you get confused or slow switch to puri/Geb and purify yourself, switch back and keep on going. Once you get to Oryx turn on that autofire and shoot towards that quest window. If you get weakend, purify. Once he stops spawning his minions switch to crystal wand and just keep shooting.
The archer’s niche isn’t so much the rushing part as the fight against O2 Himself. To get to O2 you have two options: The First or the Safe. For the first method fill up your inventory with Speedy Sprouts and keep ‘em going. The issue with this method is if you get confused you will get sent careening into a possible ball of monsters. The other method is the safe method. The benefit of this method is the trip to O2 is much less risky, but your loot chances are diminished.
