Instance Tiat
There is a place on the west of Keucereus Alliance Base named the Seed of Destruction. It is dominated by Dragon of Darkness Skelth minions. The Seed itself is a gigantic fortress of the army of darkness. In the centre of the Seed is a dragon palace, whose lord is the Witch of the Dragon of Darkness Tiat.
All that is known about Tiat is that this girl is a priestess who has received part of the power of the dragon of darkness. She looks completely unimpressive compared to the warriors guarding the fortress, however, she is the one at the top of the hierarchy.
Basics
In the Gracia: Final update, the Seed of Destruction location, with the Tiat instance, was introduced into the game.
The Gracia Seed system has been altered on Masterwork. The changes also affected the instance zone.
Tiat is the largest instance zone on Masterwork. Instance zone is related to high-level characters and has mechanics similar to the Siege of Castles and Fortresses. In the instance zone, you can get Icarus, Vesper and Top S84 weapons, Forgotten Scrolls and MasterWork Spheres with a small chance.
On the later server stages, the instance is simplified - access to the rooms leading to the crystals is closed, and the step of destroying three crystals is removed.
The entrance to the Seed of Destruction is in the Ancient City Arcan. Entering the instance zone does not require quests.

Kill monsters in small groups.
Monsters can attack one character at a time — even well-equipped tanks may not survive large amounts of damage.
Provoke out monsters one by one or in small groups and kill them in the previous room, this will reduce the chance of provoking too many monsters.
Monsters use Mass Aggression.
Monsters with Aggression skills can distinguish themselves as targets for surrounding players.
If there are several monsters with the aggression skill, inattentive damage dealers can run from one monster to another without causing damage. Damage dealers need to control their target.
Inattentive healers may heal monsters instead of players. Healers are recommended to use skills that affect the group.
Fire Resistance.
Monsters and the boss
