This guide is intended for new players like me with information I have learn from the great people on these forums!
[b]Arkovian Undercity[/b]
To get to the dungeon:
- First open up your map
- Pop to the Broken Hills Rift
- Go North-East to the POI and enter
> Don’t understand? Images here… Boop!
To get through the dungeon:
- To get to the second floor, go to the POI directly above (slightly to the left) of you
- This floor you will have to go the whole way around & then end up being slightly North-East of where you entered this floor
- Head left for a short while, & go up the bridge
> Don’t understand? Images here… Boop!
Why to farm this dungeon:
- Thanks to the pretty good density you have a good chance to find a lot of components from killing the mobs
- I recommend having Magic+ drops showing, because after each run you do you will have a full backpack thanks to the crazy amount of chests & pots you will find, which can then be sold between runs for lots of iron bits!
- I have found plenty of Rare & Epic items from this dungeon which don’t have great stats but I tend to dismantle them at Darlet the Inventor for lots of scrap & extra components - Dynamite can be crafted at the Blacksmith in Homestead (recipe below)
- Due to the amount of Ghost mobs you will find there is a good chance you can get loads of Ectoplasm which is used to craft those useful Skeleton Keys!
- Also, the huge amount of Undead mobs means that you can get easy Reputation for the Rovers!
- There are a lot of bosses that can spawn so if you clear the entire floors you can normally meet around 4-5 bosses, there is 3 that are guaranteed to spawn in as well as the final floor boss. Nomos Dred (1F), Laudos Vagra (2F), Rhovena Kur (2F) & Kilrian, the Tainted Soul (Final Boss)
- Kilrian, the Tainted Soul can drop - Supreme Spoils, Kilrian’s Skullbreaker (1H Mace with +2 to Fire Strike) & Kilrian’s Shattered Soul
[li]Kilrian’s Shattered Soul is the most notable drop for me personally (with a 45% drop rate - took me 11 runs), it is a rare component (for chest armor) that needs 4 parts to be completed. Once completed it grants the following stats:[/li]+40% Fire Damage
+40% Vitality Damage
+40% Burn Damage
+40% Vitality Decay
+5% Attack Speed
20% Vitality Resistance
Kilrian’s Flame (10% Chance when Hit by a Melee Attack)
[li]Skill from Kilrian’s Shattered Soul:[/li]Kilrian’s Flame (10% Chance when Hit by a Melee Attack)
A dark flame engulfs your flesh, incinerating any that dare come near and draining their vitality.
12 Second Skill Recharge
6 Second Duration
3 Meter Target Area
72 Fire Damage
72 Vitality Damage
33% of Attack Damage converted to Health
80 Vitality Decay over 2 Seconds

Jargon Explained:
- Dungeon - Area or Level
- Farm/Farming - Repeatedly going through a dungeon to grind for loot
- Note: to repeat a dungeon you must clear it, leave the game and then recreate your game so the mobs will now be there again.
- Mobs - Creatures/Monster that spawn in the dungeons, nothing super special about them unlike Bosses.
- Boss - Known as a Hero in game/Boss in an area (guaranteed spawn)
- POI - Point of Interest (displayed as an Eye on your Minimap)
- Density - a high density means that there is a lot of mobs, a low density means there are only a few mobs.
- XP - Experience
- Rep - Faction Reputation
> Special words or expressions I use that may be difficult or confusing for others to understand.
Rewards Explained (Quests & Bounties):
- The way that I have structured them here to make them more concise is by using 2 vertical bars (|). We will use XP 1|2|3 as our example, below you can see that you would get 1 XP for your game being on Normal, 2 XP for your game being on Elite and 3 XP for you playing Ultimate like a crazy person
- The reason there’s multiple explanations for Rep is because there are multiple Bounties and Quests from different Factions!
- XP - Normal|Elite|Ultimate
- Rep - Rovers/Undead, Normal|Elite|Ultimate
- Rep - The Black Legion/Undead, Normal|Elite|Ultimate
- Iron Bits - Normal|Elite|Ultimate
> Hope this makes sense!!
