Consider bringing AoE skills for clearing multiple monsters
Ensure all party members are online and available for the full duration

Combat Strategy
Focus fire on Evil Spirit monsters to progress through encounters
Stay mobile during boss fight to avoid AoE skills
Clear minions regularly to prevent overwhelming numbers
Use defensive skills when Antonio casts area attacks
Time Optimization

Don't waste time on the initial 150 monsters unless necessary
Focus on completing encounters quickly rather than exploring
Coordinate skill rotations for maximum damage efficiency
Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Don't attempt the instance with party members who already completed it
❌ Don't enter after 9:00 PM - the event closes and NPCs disappear
❌ Don't split up during encounters - stay grouped for safety
❌ Don't ignore the barricade walls - they contain you until mobs are cleared
