The Dzemael Darkhold - Tips and Tricks

First one pretty much always drops warlock pattens. Second chest is near the first chasm with the broken bridge.

Whereabouts in that area?

Whereabouts in that area?

It's hard to describe. But basically there's a point where you can go east to continue through the dungeon or you can just go straight ahead into a dead-end. In the dead end is a chest. And to your West should be a sheer cliff face with a view of the caverns.

I know exactly where you mean, thanks for that info.

Now, about this third chest on Floor 2... I'm gonna guess in the north leading dead end that breaks to the west?

Edit: Yep, that's where it was hiding.

OP:
By "rings" you're referring to the blue circular magitek contraptions from the Garleans? -.-

yes, right after you teleport from the first area, there is a place guarded by a drake.

ok for those that dont know how to get past the ogre boss, this fight is more about what classes you have, basically you want a tank and everyone else to be on a ranged class, the more mages the better. There is a little nook that you fight him in on the bottom level, make sure your tank has at least cure II and Sac II, III is preferable and for the first minute or so have them heal themselves. This builds up a lot of enmity.

Someone call out the Chains teleports when they do the tank takes the boss up the closest ramp while the rest of the group goes up the opposite ramp, when you go back down tank takes the boss back to the nook while the rest of the group goes back down the ramp they came up.

You basically keep this up throughout the fight, once he enrages you may need a second dedicated healer also try to conserve mp.

Its an easy fight once you get this down, I'm told there are ways to interrupt his big AoE after he enrages, if anyone one knows what skills please post them.

I have yet to actually fight the second boss, but I hear the issue with him is the remaining time you have. One good thing to start practicing is skipping all mobs on the way to the first boss, and having mages sleep them as you run through.

This information may be old news but I dont post/read the forums on the weekends.
