Upon arriving in the hellish moonscape, you’ll encounter several of the usual trash mobs. None of them are particularly troublesome, and even my poorly geared Dark Knight handled them easily. I can’t tank worth a flip, either, so there’s your bar.
You’ll do the same two or three-pack pulls, and then it’s time for a showdown with The Lunar Subterrane’s first boss, the Dark Elf.

Dark Elf
The Dark Elf doesn’t have too many mechanics that one-shot the party, but it does leave nasty debuffs. Healers should watch the party for Doom. Players may pick up the instadeath status from the Dark Elf’s casts, but there’s plenty of time to Esuna.

Dancyan Antlion
Another couple of trash mobs, then here comes the Antlion. The creepy crab’s biggest headache comes from the Stone Pillars along the east and west sides of the arena. Pay attention to the structures as the Antlion attacks, as two will collapse across the stage after its Landslip attack.

Durante
Durante’s kit looks awfully flashy, but there’s no real tricks up his sleeve — wing, whatever. Arrows and line telegraphs divide up the arena in a pretty tidy way. So, pay close attention to where his casts are point and chances are you’re safe.
