Hello everyone! Today, we'll be delving into a comprehensive dungeon guide for New World: Eternal, focusing on the "Layered Labyrinths." First, I'd like to especially thank the following contributors, whose efforts made this guide possible: Benedict G, Haywood, Mills, Drixen, Corey, and Frodka. Their insights, gameplay videos, and expertise are invaluable.

Team Composition

Before we head into the dungeon, let’s discuss the essential team composition. A balanced group typically includes:

1. Healer: A doctor wielding the Life Staff as a primary healing weapon and the Void Gauntlet for DPS should consider the most effective strategies to maximize their performance. The Void Blade becomes your main source of damage. You'll also want to use the Oblivion skill to empower your team and weaken mobs. Additionally, if you're looking to enhance your gear or improve your playstyle, you might want to buy New World Coins to acquire valuable items and resources. Depending on the week’s nature attributes, consider Scream and Rupture for additional healing reduction on bosses.

2. DPS Roles:

· Spear Great Axe DPS: Focused on abilities like Skewer and Unfeeling Maelstrom to debuff mobs while maintaining high DPS.

· Great Sword & Hammer DPS: This player utilizes the Hack and Slash techniques while assisting in crowd control using skills like Rupture and Armor Breaker for better Rend uptime.

· Rapier DPS: Often switches between Ice Call and Void Blade for crowd control and burst damage.

3. Tank Roles: Options like the Great Sword, Sword and Shield, or Hatchet are viable. I prefer the Great Sword for its offensive and defensive capabilities, particularly using the Defiance tree for crowd control.

Once you've set up your team, you're ready to head into the action!

Dungeon Strategy

As you enter the dungeon, maintaining separation of roles and responsibilities is key. Below are some strategies and tips on approaching the dungeon efficiently:

Initial Engagements

1. Starting Pull: Your tank should charge in first, grabbing aggro from all mobs while DPS players should focus on keeping everything tightly grouped.

2. Opener Skills: Activate Shockwave to control initial damage from archers and provide your healer an opportunity to drop their Sacred Ground.

Pulling & CC Management

· Ensure mobs are clumped together using Gravewell and Maelstrom to prevent any mobs from straying into the healer’s range.

· The tank should utilize CC chains effectively: alternating between CC abilities and light attacks to cycle through cooldowns.

Quick Strategy for Learning the Speedrun

For those just starting to speedrun, consider splitting large pulls into manageable halves. This allows the team to focus down each group effectively while minimizing damage taken.

Door Mechanics

When it comes to the door mechanics, the goal is to open doors as quickly as possible:

· Tank needs to use CC abilities like Wrecking Ball to manage mob chaos.

· Healer and DPS should prioritize healing and damage respectively and only focus on gathering when they can afford the time.

Boss Strategy: Cilla

Cilla is a pivotal boss encounter:

· The healer should keep Sacred Ground up and use their abilities effectively.

· DPS players should manage their damage output and be mindful of orb phases; ideally, one person should take the orb to prevent multiple stacks.

Transition smoothly to make the Cilla encounter quickly resolved without overstaying.

Post-Boss Tactics

When moving past Cilla:

1. Gatherables: Urgently reach for any life blooms and other gatherables during the downtime.

2. Role Adjustments: If tanks have been heavy until Cilla, consider respeccing to a lighter build for the ongoing segments, balancing health and agility.

Always Be Alert!

Engagements can often spiral if one team member is not attentive:

· Communicate and react to late spawns immediately.

· Utilize excelling CC on difficult mobs — attackers should be mindful of positioning.
