The istance

The Shugo Imperial Tomb has three levels that should be completed. Each level is much harder than the previous one, and contains more difficult enemies to defeat. Once you enter the instance you will be transformed into Shugo warrior. Your personal stats and skills are not usable in the instance, since you get a new skill bar after the transformation. Damage amount is equal for all players regardless of level.
 

Stage 1 “Tomb of the Crown Prince”

This stage has 3 waves of “Tomb Robbers” enemies. At the end of the second and the third wave, the enemies become much stronger. During this fight your group should be positioned at the top of the stairs, to the left and to the right, where are the enemies’ spawn points.

 
Enemies

• Honest Kobold Labourer – easy to kill use Normal strike to defeat them.
• Wild Kobold Foreman – use Shar Blow for this one.
• Large Kobold Labourer – Mini boss at the end of the second wave has a Binding Blow ability, that will incapacitate you for a few seconds. Easy avoidable by getting out of his range.
• Strong Kobold Foreman “Boss of the Grave Robbers“ – Boss at the end of the third wave has two abilities Ice cloud stroke and Stunning blow, which can stun or immobilize you for a couple of seconds. Easy avoidable by getting out of his range.

After the first and the second wave, defeat all Tomb Faerie ASAP, since they drop items that will make the further fight much easier.
