Tactics

Zaken instance map

— arrangement of barrels with candles

— entrance to the second/third floor

Group composition

  • A tank is not necessarily a knight. This can be BD or SWS, depending on the level and equipment of the players
  • Heal - Bishop or EE, depending on the players' equipment. We recommend to have a mana-recharging pet
  • EE/SHE - to help and restore mana to healers. It is highly recommended to have a mana-recharging pet
  • Buffer - when forming a group, keep in mind that all buffs, except Club buffs, will be cancelled. PP, Warc or Over can significantly strengthen the group and help healers in an emergency
  • Bards - BD or SwS will reinforce the group with rhythms. Can replace the tank if necessary
  • Damagers - any classes that can deal damage. Choice at the discretion of the group leader

Entry

Talk to NPC Human Old Pirate Zaken's Gatekeeper in Giran Harbor, to move into the instance zone.

After entering, all buffs, except club, will be cancelled. If you don't have a club card, you can use Sweet Fruit Cocktail Sweet Fruit Cocktail Physical Buffs NG and Fresh Fruit Cocktail Fresh Fruit Cocktail Magical Buffs NG (sold by Butler) or invite PP, Warc or Over to your group.

Finding the Boss

The inner part of Zaken's ship consists of 3 identical levels. The boss is in one of the rooms in a state of invisibility and non-aggressive.

There are two ways to find Zaken.

Method 1 - Classic. There are barrels with candles between the rooms. Light the candles to check for Zaken in the rooms nearby. If the candle lights up red, the boss is not nearby. If blue, the boss is near. Light 4 blue candles to find Zaken. The method is inconvenient because the red candles spawn monsters and make the search longer.

Zaken's candle L2

Method 2 - Life hack. Players have discovered that the invisible Zaken takes damage from AOE skills and remains neutral to the attacker. Use AOE skills in the rooms until you see that Zaken has taken damage in the system chat. After finding the boss, light the candles in the nearby corridors to bring Zaken out of his invisibility.

Fighting boss

Zaken instance L2

After losing his invisibility, Zaken becomes aggressive. Before lighting the last candle, move the group into the corridor to prepare for the battle, and make it easier for the tank to gain aggro.

Together with Zaken, 4 monsters will emerge from invisibility. First of all, get rid of them so that they do not kill pets and do not touch supports.

The boss fight is not difficult. Zaken will occasionally use a powerful strike Dual Attack Dual Attack Lv. 1 and apply a hold effect on group members.

If you did not have enough time or the entire group died, you can return to the instance again after the time zone is closed (10 minutes).

In case of success, instance closes the daily mission Fight with Zaken.
