  Tiwagrum can designate the Queen of Thieves as the guardian to defeat. Amakna Village, [0,0].

The loot is also useful elsewhere: Memories of the Afterlife (level 200) requires a Magic Skemage Skull, which drops from the Skemages in the dungeon.

The 2 rooms of the Throne Room of the Dark Court

A dimension dungeon: a single fight, against five waves of monsters, with no rooms to chain. The game lists two maps for this arena. 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 Queen of Thieves

The four-step strategy against the Queen of Thieves

How the Bonbombs work

At the start of his turn, each character summons a Bonbomb 2 range in front of him; if the cell is taken, it moves to the right diagonal, and so on clockwise. As soon as a character has two, the first one explodes and triggers those in line with it, the nearest first.

A bomb turns blue if another one explodes on its diagonal. Red, it kills characters in line up to 10 range; blue, it heals them completely, unless a red one also explodes in their line. In both cases, it hits the monsters in that area. Invulnerable, Bonbombs can be pushed or pulled, but not carried.

Finding the Queen in her Mist

From turn 4, then every 3 turns, at the end of her turn the Queen places a black glyph of radius 3 that makes her invisible, along with the monsters inside it. The glyph covers 25 cells, but she is always on one of the three cells of the upper ring. Test those three cells, at least to slow her or push her back.

Five waves of monsters

The fight starts with the Queen and three monsters with four players, one more for each additional character; each wave then has as many monsters as there are fighters. The timeline shows the current wave and the turn the next one arrives. Kill an entire wave and the next one arrives immediately, invulnerable for one turn.

When the Queen dies, Guilty Pleasure makes you take 50% more damage until the end of the fight: waves remain to be finished, so play them carefully.

The monsters of the Throne Room of the Dark Court

Five level 200 monsters, arriving in waves. Each has -24% in a different element: the resistances in red are their weaknesses. Terristocrat and Skemage are the real dangers, Tortryck and Double pose few problems.

In which order to kill the monsters

1. Terristocrat — its Bomb Ilical kills any character within 2 cells or less when it explodes.
2. Skemage — the Skoul's trap removes 10 MP and can lock you in a bomb's line.
3. Mastaklyr — it places traps and removes 3 AP at long range.
4. Tortryck, then Double — dangerous only in melee, and the Double has half the HP.

Preparing your run through the Throne Room of the Dark Court

A dungeon for teams of level 190 to 200 who accept strict positioning. You come here for The Court of Miracles, the achievements and The Queen of Thieves' Embroidery: the Queen cannot be captured.

How to enter the Throne Room of the Dark Court

The entrance is in the Srambad dimension, in the Shadowy Heights, at [8,-4]. To reach Srambad, you need to find a portal: the portal hunt starts at the Voyagers' Tower [-22,-24]. You then need a Key to the Throne Room of the Dark Court, consumed: the keyring doesn't work in a dimension.

Crafting the Key to the Throne Room of the Dark Court

It is crafted at a handyman's workshop. Four ingredients drop from the dungeon monsters, at 12%: Mastaklyr's Disarmed Trap, Terristocrat Bomb Fuse, Double's Scrunchie and Tortryck Shoulder Pad. The Dark Court Fabric is bought at the Srambad outpost for 3 Orichor; Icefish (fishing), Snowdrop and Frosteez (harvesting) complete the recipe.

Ingredient	Quantity	Level
Mastaklyr's Disarmed Trap	2	200
Terristocrat Bomb Fuse	2	200
Double's Scrunchie	2	200
Tortryck Shoulder Pad	2	200
Dark Court Fabric	1	200
Icefish	1	200
Snowdrop	1	200
Frosteez	1	200

Which team to bring against the Queen of Thieves

A Cra and an Enutrof. The Cra keeps monsters and the Queen at range, the Enutrof slows their advance: the dungeon becomes much simpler. It remains doable with any composition, as long as you don't let the Queen get close.

MP and range removal. Removing range from the Skemages, and failing that from the Mastaklyrs, avoids the Skoul's trap. Removing MP from the Terristocrats stops them from placing their Bomb Ilical in melee with you.

Enough to move the bombs. Pushbacks and pulls are useful for everything: lining up the Bonbombs so they explode together, saving an ally from a red line, or placing the monsters in their area.

The classes that fit well. The Cra pushes back and hits, the Enutrof slows. The Pandawa positions his allies on the first turn for the “auto-win” tactic. The Rogue can kill the Queen on turn 3 or 4 with a wall of bombs, and the Iop can charge his Wrath on turn 1 to kill her on turn 4.

The six achievements of the Throne Room of the Dark Court

Each achievement gives 200,000,000 XP and 2 The Queen of Thieves' Embroidery, Trio doubles the XP; Sidekick gives 75,000,000 XP. The “auto-win” positioning is the basis for First, Tight and Special.

Special: Life Is Full of Pitfalls

Allies must not be healed using blue Bonbombs. The achievement only fails if a character is actually healed: at 100% of their HP, a blue bomb in their line doesn't count. Keep your two cells of spacing and a healer to bring your HP back up, or shift the blue bomb out of your line. Failing that, line up all your characters on a line without a bomb and shift them each turn: none will turn blue. An allied summon being healed also fails the achievement.

First

The Queen of Thieves must be finished off first. Since your characters summon the Bonbombs, make sure they don't kill any monster before the Queen. An Enutrof or a Cra to slow and push back remains advisable. A Rogue kills her on turn 3 or 4 with a wall of bombs; an Iop charges his Wrath on turn 1 to kill her on turn 4.

Tight

Allied fighters must end their turn on a cell adjacent to another allied fighter. Two methods with the “auto-win” positioning. A summon between each character, but the explosions kill them and you have to re-summon every turn; only a Cawwot at the very back, next to the last character, survives. Simpler: a Cawwot to the left of each character, behind him for the last one. It doesn't die from the bombs but blocks the left: allow 6 MP to go around, hit and come back. If you master the Bonbombs, simply stick to the bombs or your allies.

Trio

Three characters maximum, fewer than 80 turns. Doable with almost any composition, not very different from the four-character dungeon. The simplest: a Cra who pushes back and hits, an Enutrof who slows, a class that hits. With a Pandawa and a Rogue, kill the Queen on turn 3 or 4 with a wall of bombs, re-form it and throw the monsters into it, without letting the Bonbombs set off the rogue's bombs. Otherwise, kill the Queen around turn 5 or 6, then chain through the waves.

Sidekick: Garbage Pail Sidekicks

At least four characters, including an eligible Sidekick: Grute, Goboff, Rint or Piggy Paupe. The fight plays out as usual: include the Sidekick in your line and keep it out of the lines of red Bonbombs and the Bomb Ilical.

Srambad modifiers

Ten modifiers, only one active

Each dimension applies one of ten combat modifiers, which can help or complicate the fight. It only changes when you complete this dungeon, the level 200 one in Srambad. Cyclic Power, for example, gives enemies 50% more vitality, but +25% damage to your characters per turn from the second turn on, reset every 5 turns.

Where is the Throne Room of the Dark Court?

In the Srambad dimension, at [8,-4], in the Shadowy Heights. You reach Srambad through a portal, thanks to the portal hunt at the Voyagers' Tower [-22,-24].

At what level should you do the Throne Room of the Dark Court?

Level 190 minimum, 200 recommended. The Queen of Thieves is level 220, her monsters level 200.

Which quest should I do at the Throne Room of the Dark Court?

The Court of Miracles, with Injured Violet Arrow in Srambad [5,-1], after The Queen's Butcher. It is completed by defeating the Queen in a single fight.

How do you avoid dying to the Bonbombs?

Never end a turn in line with a red Bonbomb, up to 10 range. The “auto-win” positioning, with characters lined up two cells apart, places all the bombs outside your lines.

How do you find the Queen in her Mist?

She is always on one of the three cells of the glyph's upper ring. Test those three cells rather than hitting the whole area.

Which monster should you target first in the Throne Room of the Dark Court?

The Terristocrat, on each wave, before it places its Bomb Ilical in melee with you. Then remove the Skemages' range to avoid the Skoul's trap.

How many waves do you have to beat?

Five waves, in a single fight. Killing an entire wave before its countdown brings the next one right away.

Can the Queen of Thieves be captured?

No, the Queen of Thieves cannot be captured. No soul stone is needed for this dungeon.

Do you need a key for every run of the Throne Room of the Dark Court?

Yes, the keyring doesn't work in a dimension. Four ingredients for the key drop in the dungeon, and the Dark Court Fabric is bought for 3 Orichor.

Can the dungeon be done with three characters?

Yes, it is even an achievement: Trio, in under 80 turns. A Cra, an Enutrof and a class that hits are enough.
