The 5 rooms of the Shackles of Tyranny

Five rooms, Servitude waits in the last one. 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 — Servitude

Servitude, the Galley's monsters and, from turn 1, the first Armiscreant. Don't hit the boss before you have the Traitor state or a Feca protection: the strategy is detailed right below.

Defeat Servitude

The five-step strategy against Servitude

The Traitor state

Ending your turn on a white Servitude glyph gives Traitor 1, but the glyph only grants the first state: ending on it again doesn't raise it. To climb up to 5, the character must hit their allies. Without a starting state, hitting an ally does nothing.

The state only wears down by hitting Servitude, one damage line at a time: at Traitor 3, the fourth line is reflected again. In exchange, Betrayal targets Traitor characters anywhere on the map, pulls them in and forces them to hit their nearest ally. In phase 2, all the Traitors go through it.

The three phases

Up to 50% HP, Servitude fights on foot. From 50% to 1% HP, he mounts his steed: Subjugation steals 1 MP and hits Air, Protective Thrall also gives him the shield and MP, and Tyranny can swap an Armiscreant with the character closest to him, at any distance.

At 1 HP, it puts all entities back at their starting positions and heals for 25% of its HP. The Unhealable state cancels this heal: the Pandawa's Prohibition or the Masqueraider's Ardour, for example. Without a poison, any damage spell then finishes it off.

The return of Taming

Armiscreant's Taming brings you back to your turn-start cell at the end of your next turn. Use it: advance fearlessly into the enemy lines to hit or position, you'll return to safety. To cancel the effect, a dispel or the Gravity, Rooted and Unmovable states are enough: Ataraxia, Gravitational Glyph or Inertia from the Feca, Stabilisation or Brewing from the Pandawa.

The monsters of the Shackles of Tyranny

Five level 200 monsters, including the Armiscreant that Servitude relentlessly summons; the Tyranice doesn't appear in four-player fights. Resistances in red are their weaknesses.

In which order to kill the monsters

1. Armiscreant — at each summon, before they pile up and call Ioppressed.
2. Ecaptive — on turn 4, it gains 3 MP and 100% final damage, with a lot of erosion.
3. Tyranice, then Ballackey — the first hits hard and heals, the second protects your targets with Reinfortifice.
4. Bangcutioner — the more HP it loses, the more it boosts its allies: ignore it, then kill it in one go.

Preparing your run through the Shackles of Tyranny

The hardest of the four Horsemen of the Eliocalypse, for teams of level 190 to 200 who know how to handle a flood of summons. People come here for Break One's Chains, the achievements, the Totem of Joy and Servitude's Lock: Servitude cannot be captured.

How to enter the Shackles of Tyranny

The entrance is in Servitude's Galley, at [4,-3]. The four Horsemen's zones are reached through the Vili's Arch zaap [15,-20], reached through the rift in the Dyna Mine [10,-19]. Three ways to open it: a Shackles of Tyranny Key (consumed), the key ring if it's registered there, or the automatic group search.

Crafting the Shackles of Tyranny Key

It is crafted at a handyman. Five ingredients drop from the dungeon's monsters: Rhythmic Wand (Bangcutioner), Worn Oar Wood (Ecaptive), Whip Handle (Tyranice), Ballasted Kanonball (Ballackey) and Tasty Meat. Icefish (fishing), Snowdrop and Frosteez (harvesting) complete the recipe.

Ingredient	Quantity	Level
Rhythmic Wand	2	200
Worn Oar Wood	2	200
Whip Handle	2	200
Ballasted Kanonball	2	200
Tasty Meat	2	200
Icefish	1	200
Snowdrop	1	200
Frosteez	1	200

Which team to bring against Servitude

As many as possible. Servitude summons the same number of Armiscreants whether you are four or eight. With six or more, the fight becomes much easier: more characters to take them down, and more characters to hit the boss on the same turn.

Something to finish off the Armiscreants. A Cloudy Dofus helps a lot to finish them off over the odd turns. Failing that, one or two Water characters take them down fast, thanks to their 15% resistance in that element.

One Unhealable and one poison. Without the Unhealable state, the last phase restores 25% of its HP to Servitude. The Pandawa's Prohibition or the Masqueraider's Ardour prevent that, and a poison like the one from the Ebony Dofus finishes it off by itself at the start of its turn.

The classes that fit well. The Pandawa positions, applies Unhealable and Gravity, and stabilizes against the return of Taming. The Feca hits Servitude without the Traitor state thanks to Bastion, Barricade and Ataraxia. The Eliotrope positions and concentrates damage with its portals, ideal with an Iop and its Wrath. None is mandatory, but they make the fight and its achievements much easier.

The five achievements of the Shackles of Tyranny

Each achievement grants 200,000,000 XP and 2 Servitude's Lock, and Duo doubles the XP. Versatile is played with the basic strategy, and Focus requires a team capable of big damage turns.

Focus

An attacked enemy must be finished off before another one is attacked. The whole difficulty: once Servitude is damaged, you can no longer hit the Armiscreants, nor prevent their Ioppressed. Alternate one Armiscreant, one monster (Ecaptive before turn 4, Tyranice, Ballackey, Bangcutioner), the next one, then finish off the last ones. Keep the Ballackey more than 10 range away from the monsters to avoid Reinfortifice. Then aim to kill Servitude on an even turn, with no summons: Eliotrope and Iop with a Feca, Wrath charged on the odd turn, Unhealable and poison before phase 3, several characters in Traitor 5. No Wrath near the 50% threshold. Without an Eliotrope, come with six or more.

Versatile

Each ally may use the same action only once during their turn. The basic strategy doesn't change. Take a Feca or Pandawa tank, two characters who hit and a healer. The Feca, tank or Water, protects so you can hit Servitude fast. A Pandawa can no longer cast Karcham twice or Boozer for its MP: position with Waterfall, Vertigo, Eau de vie or Propulsion.

Special: Walkabout

The summoned Armiscreants must not be finished off. Still hit each Armiscreant every turn, against the Ioppressed, and kill Servitude fast: ideally between turn 5 and turn 8, before you get overwhelmed. It's easier with six or more; with four, you need enough to kill it in one or two turns, with an Unhealable. Eliotrope, Rogue or Sram fit the job, preferably Earth. During your boosts, kill the Ecaptives and the Ballackeys, which can protect Servitude.

Duo

Two characters maximum, fewer than 40 turns. The simplest: a network Earth Sram and a tank Feca. The Sram (Domakuro, Cloudy Dofus, Jahash Jurgen's cape) doesn't hit before turn 5 and weaves a network of traps on one side of the map, while the Feca pushes everything back with Tension and stalls with Truce. On turn 7, Bastion on the Sram, Chakra Concentration and Shakedown on Servitude, then push it into the network: it goes through its three phases and dies. Finish off the monsters, Ecaptive first. The other route, Eliotrope and Iop, requires timing the Wraths on turns 4, 7 and 10 while killing the Armiscreants in between.

Where is Shackles of Tyranny located?

In Servitude's Galley, at [4,-3], in the Horsemen's Dimension. You get there through the Vili Ark zaap [15,-20], reached through the rift in the Dyna Mine [10,-19].

What level should you be to do Shackles of Tyranny?

Minimum level 190, 200 recommended. Servitude is level 220, and by far the hardest of the four Horsemen.

Which quest should you do at Shackles of Tyranny?

Break One's Chains, which ends with Servitude in a single fight. It follows The Slave Ship, started by the Feathered Slave in the Galley [2,-1].

How do you hit Servitude without taking the reflection?

With the Traitor state, or under Bastion, Barricade or Ataraxia. End a turn on a white glyph, then hit an ally to climb up to 5: each line on Servitude consumes one state.

Which monster should you target first in the Shackles of Tyranny?

Each Armiscreant as soon as it's summoned, then the Ecaptive before its turn 4. Save the Bangcutioner for last, and kill it in one go.

How do you stop Servitude from healing to 1 HP?

Apply the Unhealable state to it before bringing it to 1 HP. Add a poison: after repositioning everyone, it dies at the start of its turn.

Can Servitude be captured?

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

Is it better to come with four or eight?

With eight, the fight is much simpler. Servitude summons the same number of Armiscreants regardless of how many you are: the more of you, the faster they fall.

Can Shackles of Tyranny be done with two players?

Yes, it's even an achievement: two characters, fewer than 40 turns. The simplest is a network Sram and a Feca, who kill Servitude first in the trap network.
