‘Arthdal Chronicles: Three Factions (hereinafter Arthdal Chronicles)’ introduced a new party dungeon, ‘Dreamy Garden,’ in its November update. The reception is quite favorable, thanks to a set of fresh mechanics that keep things interesting. If you can handle the combat power requirements, it is certainly worth a bash. However, walk in blind, and you will find yourself failing to clear the boss, so it is highly recommended to study the strategy. So, what exactly do you need to look out for to conquer the Dreamy Garden? We have had the KookminTree team dig through the details for you.

What are the recommended Combat Power and party composition?

The recommended Combat Power for the Dreamy Garden Normal stage is 105,300, and 149,400 for the Heroic stage. However, if you have mastered the strategy and can perform precise controls through sufficient practice, you can clear it with a party of slightly lower combat power. Note, however, that in this case, all four party members must avoid every single pattern. If you are not confident in your proficiency, we recommend attempting it at a combat power at least higher than the recommendation.

Also, for a smoother run, it is recommended to include at least one Priest. The boss, Mirinasha, uses ranged attacks, and her basic attacks are very powerful, making survival tricky. If there is no Priest in your party, choose Priest as your sub-class. 'Light Heal' and 'Self-Heal' will be a great help for survival.

The Mirinasha strategy: Avoid the Toxic Weeds at all costs

Mirinasha cycles through a variety of attack patterns. Among these, the most important thing to watch out for is the 'Dreamy Toxic Weed' that she periodically summons at random locations. The weeds periodically spit 'Corrupted Life Seeds' at random targets; if the same target is hit 3 times, they become shackled and an additional Dreamy Toxic Weed is spawned.

In short, if you keep getting hit by the seeds instead of avoiding them, multiple Dreamy Toxic Weeds will be created, making the boss fight difficult. Furthermore, party members near the weeds take a certain amount of damage and are stunned. Therefore, the key is to avoid the seeds as much as possible to prevent more weeds from spawning.

Also, Mirinasha frequently uses a skill that deals massive damage in a straight line toward the target with the highest aggro. For this reason, the person holding the boss's aggro must turn Mirinasha's direction away from the party members. And party members should attack from the rear, not the front, to clear the dungeon relatively safely. Below are the skill patterns used by Mirinasha.

= Thorn Vine Summon: Summons branching thorn vines toward the target with the highest aggro. You cannot survive if you get hit by this attack, so be sure to avoid it.

= Spike Thorn Summon: Continuously summons circular spike thorns toward the target with the highest aggro. You cannot survive if you get hit by this attack, so be sure to avoid it.

= Corrupted Might: Deals single-target damage to the target with the highest aggro. The target should use survival skills such as Warrior's Shield Block, Twin Blade's Sword Guard, Storm Caster's Tailwind, or Archer's Wind Walk to endure it.

= Triple Ring Attack: Immediately after using Corrupted Might, the boss summons 3 circular rings around her. It is difficult to survive if you get hit by overlapping rings, so move to the safe zone.

= Venom Baptism: Mirinasha teleports to a random edge of the map, pushes all party members in the opposite direction, and prepares for 'Venom Baptism.' Mirinasha is then surrounded by thorn vines and possesses 17 bars of health on Heroic difficulty; her health decreases based on the number of hits, not the amount of damage. Therefore, use basic attacks or skills with high hit counts to attack Mirinasha quickly. Also, be aware that 'Venom Explosions' occur periodically in circular ranges across the entire map.

If you succeed in depleting the 17 bars of health within the time limit, Mirinasha is granted the 'Endless Loneliness' debuff for 10 seconds (Final damage taken +40%, Final crit resistance -20%, Final crit damage reduction -20%). However, if you fail, the 'Corrupted Temper' buff (Final damage reduction +20%) is added for 30 seconds. If you succeed, the strategy time is significantly shortened, but note that even if you fail, it does not significantly hinder the final success of the strategy.

= Dual Venom Mist: Deals powerful mist damage in a square area centered on the boss, and then uses it once more, expanding to the empty area. The casting is very slow, so you can move to avoid it. After this, the aforementioned patterns are repeated until the hook pattern.

Once Mirinasha's health drops to 5 bars or less, she enters the 'Hook Co-op Suppression' pattern. After the suppression, some existing patterns are enhanced. Dodge the enhanced patterns and finish off Mirinasha to complete the strategy.

= (Buffed Pattern) Thorn Vine Summon: After summoning the existing thorn vines, she summons thorn vines in a straight line once more.

= (Buffed Pattern) Spike Thorn Summon: Summons spike thorns at both the front and rear of the boss. Be careful, as you may die if you are attacking from the boss's rear at this time.

= (Pattern Change) Dual Venom Mist: Contrary to the original, the venom mist occurs in the outer area first, and then is used additionally centered on the boss.
