The 7 rooms of Dramak's Theatre

Seven fights. Before the one in the third room, a five-lever puzzle opens a secret passage to the Juggle emote; the fourth room pits you against an invulnerable mini-boss, Dramak, before the Puppet Master. For each room: the scenery, then the tactical view with the starting cells (blue: you, red: the monsters). Tap an image to enlarge it.

Defeat the Puppet Master

The five Puppets before turn 5

From turn 5, then every 4 turns, the Puppet Master resummons each missing Puppet. So killing three Puppets out of five is pointless: kill all five before turn 5, or none. In the second case, wear them all down and finish them off in the same turn.

Puppet Master

Level 400

6,000 HP
8 AP
Immobile

Resistances (%)
Earth 0%
Fire 0%
Water 0%
Air 0%
Neutral 0%

Alone, immobile, with no resistances or lock, he always plays first. Invulnerable, he stays vulnerable for only two turns once his five Puppets are dead. The rest of the time, he marks your characters with Bunraku. His HP rise from 6,000 with four characters to 10,000 with eight.

Pulling Strings2 AP · 63 Range · Effect duration: -2 · Steals 100 Agility · 46 to 55 Air damage · Steals 100 Chance · 46 to 55 Water damage · Steals 100 Intelligence · 46 to 55 Fire damage · Steals 100 Strength · 46 to 55 Earth damage · 46 to 55 Neutral damage

Only when he's vulnerable: removes two turns of effects, steals a characteristic and strikes in a cross, at infinite range. Don't group up.
Incognito1 AP · on self

Resummons the missing Puppets, from turn 5 then every 4 turns, only while he is invulnerable.
Bunraku1 AP · 10 Range · Removes the spell's effects

Marks a character, without line of sight: on the boss's next turn, a Little Puppet appears next to them. A hit from an ally removes the mark.

The five-step strategy against the Puppet Master

Positioning: the safe cells. During preparation, five cells put you out of the Puppets' reach on turn 1: place yourself only on them. Then, push the Puppets back and remove MP from them so they can't swap places with you on the next turn.

Withdraw Bunraku. On turn 1 if he has the range, then every 3 turns, he marks a character. Hit that character with an ally before the boss's next turn: any spell removes the state and prevents a Little Puppet from arriving.

The Puppets, Gray and Green first. You have four full turns. Start with the Gray and the Green: the first removes up to 35% resistances, the second reduces your heals by 75%. Never hit a Puppet in its own color, it has 200% resistance there.

Prepare the window. Finish off the last Puppet early in the turn, then boost yourself to the maximum, and place summons and poisons on the Puppet Master. It becomes vulnerable at the start of its turn, for two turns: everything must be ready to strike.

Two turns to kill it. Throw everything you have at it, without grouping up: Pulling Strings removes two turns of effects in a cross. If it survives, it resummons the five Puppets: get back out of their range and start over.

The five Puppets

Summoned 3 Range from the boss, always in the same place, they play right after it and before you. Each has 1,000 HP with four characters, 100 more per character, 3 MP, and 200% resistance in its color, where it strikes: White in Air, Blue in Water, Gray in Neutral, Red in Fire, Green in Earth. All strike in melee and swap places with you up to 5 Range, without line of sight, but never with a summon.

Each has its own spell: the White one pulls in a star pattern and removes flight and MP, the Blue one removes power in an area, the Gray one removes 30% resistances, the Red one places a fire zone, the Green one reduces heals by 75% and makes its allies immovable.

The Little Puppet

If the character marked by Bunraku hasn't been hit by an ally, a Little Puppet appears next to them. It counts as your summon but plays against you, with your HP and your stats, half of your resistances, AP and MP.

At the start of its turn, it strikes in a cross around itself and pushes back 2 cells; when it dies, it deals half of its HP in a cross. Never end your turn next to it. The same character can receive several of them.

Dramak, the mini-boss

In the fourth room, Dramak is invulnerable, heavy, unshakable and doesn't lock. He summons a Marionette on turn 1 then every 3 turns: hit the Marionette until it reaches its 10% HP threshold, and the nearest character takes control of it.

The controlled Marionette is invulnerable for two turns. Cast its Unravelling spell on Dramak, up to 2 Range: the Marionette dies, and Dramak loses his invulnerability for two turns.

The monsters of Dramak's Theatre

Four monsters from Krismahlo Island, level 89 to 92, in the first rooms, and Dramak, level 100. The Puppet Master, for his part, fights alone with his Puppets. The resistances in red are their weaknesses.

In which order to kill the monsters

Spanner — it heals and protects its allies with Spanpipes.
Gobvious — its Tuthareskew gives 200 power to the monsters around it.
Morongrel, then Rhinoblasty — they charge at you and punish movement, but neither heal nor boost.

Preparing your run through Dramak's Theatre

One of the hardest dungeons in its tier: count on at least 1,500 HP per character, because the map is small and the five Puppets strike from turn 1. You come here for Like A Puppet on a String, for Puppet Tour, for the Juggle emote and for the achievements.

How to enter Dramak's Theatre

The entrance is on Krismahlo Island, in the Asse Sea Islands, at , right next to the island's zaap . You reach the island through the cave at . Three ways to open it: a Dramak's Theatre Key (consumed), the keyring if it's registered there, or the automatic group search.

Crafting the Dramak's Theatre Key

It's crafted at a handyman's workshop. Five ingredients drop from the dungeon's monsters, at 36 or 37%: Rhinoblasty Ear, Spanner Tooth, Gobvious's Duster, Morongrel Leg and Oozing Meat. Eel (fishing), Edelweiss and Rye (harvesting) complete the recipe.

Ingredient	Quantity	Level
Rhinoblasty Ear	2	96
Spanner Tooth	2	95
Gobvious's Duster	2	94
Morongrel Leg	2	93
Oozing Meat	2	100
Eel	2	100
Edelweiss	2	100
Rye	2	100

Which team to bring against the Puppet Master

At least two elements. Each Puppet has 200% resistance in its color: at least one character must play an element different from the others, otherwise one of them becomes unkillable.

More characters, simpler fight. The boss summons only five Puppets regardless of the group: with five or more characters, the fight becomes easier, even though the HP increase. With four, add a sidekick if you struggle.

Something to blow up the boss in two turns. Charged spells, summons, poisons to place on him: anything that concentrates damage over two turns shortens the fight, since every failure sends you back to the five Puppets.

The six achievements of Dramak's Theatre

Each achievement gives 3,937,000 XP and 2 Dramak's Holey Sock, Duo doubles the XP; Sidekick gives 5,905,500 XP. Special changes the fight little, but requires you to save the two most troublesome Puppets for last.

Puppet Master (Duo)	Defeat the Puppet Master in his dungeon while completing the “Duo” challenge.	20	7 874 000

Special: Puppet Show

The Puppets must be finished off in the order they were summoned. A state above each Puppet indicates the next one to kill. The order is always the same, even after a resummon: White, Blue, Red, Green, then Gray. The Green and the Gray, the most dangerous, therefore come last.

Statue

Each ally must end their turn on the cell where they started it, throughout the whole fight. A team that plays at range makes it simpler. Choose your starting cells well, the safe cells of turn 1, and check your cell before each end of turn.

Clean Hands

Enemies must be finished off without direct damage: traps, glyphs, poisons, pushbacks, reflects and summons are allowed. The rule applies to the Puppets as well as the boss. Poisons and glyphs trigger before it becomes invulnerable again: a poison placed during the window can finish it off at the start of its next turn.

Duo

Two characters maximum, fewer than 20 turns. Take two characters of different elements, able to control distance. Kill the five Puppets before they're resummoned, then make the most of each two-turn window.

Sidekick: Z'others

Four characters minimum, including an eligible sidekick: Haku, Manitou Zoth, Karotz, Grouillot or Phong Huss. The fight plays out as usual, and one extra character even makes this dungeon easier. Place the sidekick on a safe cell on turn 1.
