Imperial Devices Rank 25 Instanced Raid Walk through and loot list

[Technolust]

This is a guide on the rank 25 instanced raid at The Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak. I have lead numerous run in this dungeon and have figured some things out. There are two ways of doing this raid, using it as an SP place at rank 25, or sweeping the area with high level classes for loot only. I will be referencing this map for the remainder of the walk through.

The object of this raid is to obtain 4 photocells and then use them to unlock different areas of the dungeon. Following the map, the order to unlock all 4 doors and get to the Final NM Boss is Blue > Green > Pink > Red. The photocells are located at each colored dot on the map, they look like a yellow glowing orb within tree roots. Now you can obtain them in any order but it is best to stick with the order mentioned above.

If you unlock each gate at the correct stage you can fight the end boss named Shaula on the map. The key to fighting the NM bosses is to focus all attention on the main boss, ignoring the minions as the boss will keep spawning them. If you defeat the end boss and open all 4 gates before 25 minutes are up you will get 5 treasure chests at the end of the fight which will all contain Unique/Exclusive armor and weapons.

In my experience it has been pretty hard to clear the entire dungeon at rank 25, the groups I've lead have been able to clear 3 all the way up to pink but ended up using them to fight the NM Sargas. A way to save a decent chunk of time, is after you get all 4 photocells that unlock the pink gate use the Return command to return to the entrance of the dungeon. This can save you upwards of 4-5 minutes as you will have a much more direct route to the unlocking gate.

Below is a list of items that can be won from this dungeon. This is a list of items that I have personally seen drop from either the treasure chests populated around the map or the chests from the NM fights.
