The 5 rooms of the Judgement of the Scales

Five fights against the Miserites, who get stronger with each stat stolen. Everywhere, attempting to remove AP, MP or range gives the monster dodge, stackable, and Carrion-Eater gives each monster 4 MP on each of its turns. For each room: the scenery, then the tactical view with the starting cells (blue: you, red: the monsters). Tap an image to enlarge it.

Room 1

Room 2

Room 3

Room 4

Room 5 — Misery

Misery's room: it's only here that the thefts of your stats benefit her. Cut her line of sight to the monsters in Collection and stay out of her lines: the strategy is detailed just below.

Defeat Misery

The five-step strategy against Misery

The Collection state

Almost all of the Miserites' spells steal a stat and place them in the Collection state. At the start of her turn, Misery steals the gains of each monster in Collection she can see, then removes the state from them: 10% vitality and 50 damage from the Junker, 15% critical and 200 Strength from the Dawaj, 1 MP and 200 Agility from the Deboning, 1 AP and 200 Chance from the Starven, 2 range and 200 Intelligence from the Skentu.

She only takes back a given monster's gains once per turn, but these boosts stay on her and stack as long as the monster lives. When a monster dies, she loses everything she took from it. At the same moment, she gives 1 MP and steals 5% resistances from monsters she can see or that aren't in Collection.

Carrion and the pull

Each entity that dies leaves a Carrion on its cell, four at most at once. A monster that starts its turn within 4 cells of a Carrion consumes it: it heals and loses its 4 MP bonus. At the start of her turn, Misery eliminates the Carrion and gains a shield for each: destroy the ones around her.

Her pull, at the start of each of her turns and on each line of damage she takes, depends on her HP: 1 cell above 75%, 2 cells down to 50%, 3 cells down to 25%, 4 cells in her last quarter. Positioned behind an obstacle, you aren't pulled.

Defeat Dakhma

On foot, Dakhma hits at 2 cells, removes all the AP and MP from her target, makes it invulnerable and sends it back to its start-of-turn cell. Hit the affected ally, even with a small spell, to remove these effects. Misery also reveals invisible characters at the start of her turn: invisibility doesn't hide you from her.

The monsters of the Judgement of the Scales

Five Miserites of level 200, each weak to a different element, who steal a stat with each spell and hit harder and harder. Against Misery, always start with the monster farthest from her. The resistances in red are their weaknesses.

In which order to kill the monsters

1. Junker — he does the most damage, steals your damage, and Misery gains vitality near him.
2. Starven — he steals AP and Chance, a problem for a Water team.
3. Skentu — beyond four characters, he steals a lot of Intelligence and hits very fast and very hard.
4. Deboning — the least dangerous, unless your team plays Agility.

Preparing your run through the Judgement of the Scales

A dungeon for teams of level 190 to 200 who know how to push, hide behind obstacles and cut lines of sight. You come here for Storm Warning, the achievements, the Totem of Fear and Misery's Feather: Misery can't be captured.

How to enter the Judgement of the Scales

The entrance is in Misery's Desert, in the Horsemen's Dimension, at [1,0], just south of the War's Wounds zaap [1,-1]. To reach the Horsemen's areas, go through the Arche de Vili zaap [15,-20], accessible through a rift at [10,-19]. Three ways to open it: a Judgement of the Scales Key (consumed), the keyring if it's registered there, or the automatic group search.

Crafting the Judgement of the Scales Key

It's crafted at a handyman's. Hood, Eye, Ribs, Tongue and Tasty Meat drop from the Miserites, at 12%. The Wind Is Picking Up and Changing Winds also give them: 5 Dawaj Eye and 5 Deboning Ribs, then 5 Skentu Hood and 5 Starven Tongue. Icefish (fishing), Snowdrop and Frosteez complete the recipe.

Ingredient	Quantity	Level
Skentu Hood	2	200
Dawaj Eye	2	200
Deboning Ribs	2	200
Starven Tongue	2	200
Tasty Meat	2	200
Icefish	1	200
Snowdrop	1	200
Frosteez	1	200

Which team to bring against Misery

Pushback and obstacles. The whole on-foot phase relies on a character who pushes Misery back while the team stays hidden. A Cra and a Pandawa move monsters and boss away, an Enutrof helps too. The Pandawa can carry an ally, who then hits without leaving his cell.

Water damage. Misery only has 12% Water resistance, and 9% in Neutral. Equip as many characters as possible in Water, but kill the Starven fast, who steals Chance.

Few removals. Every attempt to remove AP, MP or range gives the monster dodge. Only remove when the gain is clear: pushback and line of sight do the job better here.

Comfortable classes. The Pandawa is the centerpiece: he carries, pushes back, applies his vulnerabilities and stabilizes against the pull. The Cra and the Enutrof keep the monsters at a distance, the Feca serves as a second blocker for Impertinence. Classes that rely on invisibility lose their edge: Misery reveals invisible characters every turn.

The five achievements of the Judgement of the Scales

Each achievement awards 200,000,000 XP and 2 Misery's Feather, the Duo doubles the XP. Impertinence and Clean Hands stack with Impertinence's first method, by finishing each enemy with indirect damage.

Impertinence

Each ally must end their turn on a cell adjacent to an enemy. Three methods. The fastest kills Misery first: as many characters as possible in Chance, with vitality and resistances (Ivory Dofus recommended), and a tank Pandawa who plays first, applies a double Vulnerability to her and brings her back near the team. Get her under 50% before her turn 2, move the Junker and Starven away when she mounts, boost and heal on turn 2, kill her on turn 3, then keep a monster to stick to. Second method: kill the Junker, then block Misery in a corner behind the Starven and the Deboning, held by a tank with about 150 lock; she can no longer cast Scale-Mace, and once mounted, neither Dakhma nor Sky Burial. Third method: Misery last, blocked by two tanks (Feca or Pandawa), the others more than 8 cells away, and stuck to the Carrion to complete it.

Clean Hands

Enemies must be finished off without direct damage. Go back to the base strategy and finish everything off with indirect damage: pushback, poisons, traps, glyphs, summons. An Ebony Dofus helps classes that lack it. To finish Misery with poison, no Carrion must be within 4 cells of her at the start of that turn: her shield would absorb the poison.

Special: Abject Opulence

Misery must die first and enter the Collection state at least once per turn. She takes the state if a Miserite in Collection, i.e. one who has just hit you, is in her line of sight at the start of her turn. Block her in a corner between two summons, with a Starven or a Deboning diagonal to her who can hit one of your characters, never the Junker. Replace the summons that have become Carrion each turn, and stay at 3 cells or less, or at 9 or more, because of Sky Burial. Blocking Misery between two monsters held by a tank also works, but the Starven can undo the block.

Duo

Two characters maximum, fewer than 40 turns. A tank Pandawa (50% resistances, Ivory Dofus and Emerald) carries a full-damage character almost permanently, preferably playing right after him. Kill the monsters starting with those farthest from Misery, always more than 6 cells from her, circling the map and throwing the monsters away from her. End each turn against an obstacle so the pull doesn't make your ally dismount. Mounted, she can't swap a Pandawa carrying his ally: stay against an obstacle or under Stabilisation, and flee on the turn her spell comes back.

Where is the Judgement of the Scales?

In Misery's Desert, at [1,0], in the Horsemen's Dimension. The nearest zaap is the one at War's Wounds [1,-1].

At what level should you do the Judgement of the Scales?

Level 190 minimum, 200 recommended. Misery is level 220, with 18,000 HP, and her monsters level 200.

Which quest should you do in the Judgement of the Scales?

Storm Warning, with Mazetti in the Oasis [4,1]. It's completed by beating Misery in a single fight, after The Wind Is Picking Up and Changing Winds.

How do you beat Misery?

Kill her monsters while keeping her at a distance, then push her back behind an obstacle. Below 50% HP, she climbs onto her mount and gains 4 MP: kill her fast.

Which monster should you target first in the Judgement of the Scales?

The farthest from Misery, otherwise the Junker. Continue with the Starven and finish with the Deboning, unless one of them steals the stat of your element.

What is the Collection state?

The state of a Miserite who has just stolen a stat from you. If Misery sees it at the start of her turn, she takes that gain back from it: cut her line of sight or kill the monster.

How do you remove Dakhma's effects?

Hit the affected ally, even with a small spell. The spell's effects disappear: he gets his AP and MP back and is no longer invulnerable.

Can Misery be captured?

No, Misery can't be captured. No soul stone is needed for this dungeon.

Can you do the Judgement of the Scales with two characters?

Yes, it's even an achievement: the Duo, in under 40 turns. A tank Pandawa carries a full-damage character, away from Misery, while they kill the monsters one by one.

How do you get the key?

Craft it at a handyman's with the Miserites' resources. The quests The Wind Is Picking Up and Changing Winds also give twenty of these ingredients.
