🗺️ Stage-by-Stage Walkthrough
Stage 1: Pass Collection
Hunt monsters and collect Pass of Dimension. Simple but necessary warmup.
How it Works:
- • Kill Ratz and Dirty Ratz in the room
- • Collect Pass of Dimension drops
- • Give all passes to the party leader
- • Leader talks to NPC to proceed
Stage 2: Box Breaking
Break boxes to find specific items while avoiding wrong boxes.
Strategy:
- • Each member is assigned to find a specific item
- • Break boxes until you find YOUR item
- • Wrong boxes spawn monsters - be careful!
- • Once everyone has their item, proceed
Pro Tip: AOE classes should help clear spawned monsters. Don't let the room get overrun!
Stage 3: Blocktopus (Most Difficult!)
This is where parties fail. You need to defeat Blocktopuses to get keys, but they're behind barriers.
Why You Need Teleport:
- • Blocktopuses are behind wooden barriers
- • Only Teleport can pass through barriers
- • Mage must teleport through and kill Blocktopuses
- • Each Blocktopus drops a key when defeated
- • You need all keys to proceed
Critical: If your mage doesn't have Teleport skilled up, you cannot pass this stage. Period.
Stage 4: Dark Room
Navigate a pitch-black room to find portals. This is where Dark Sight becomes essential.
How Dark Sight Helps:
- • The room is completely dark - you can't see anything
- • Dark Sight reveals hidden portals!
- • Thief uses Dark Sight and guides the party
- • Find the correct portal to proceed
- • Wrong portals send you back to the start
Alternative: Some parties memorize the portal locations, but Dark Sight makes this trivial.
Stage 5: Portal Boxes
Break boxes to find the portal to the next stage. Some boxes spawn monsters!
- • Break boxes systematically
- • One box contains the portal
- • Wrong boxes spawn Ratz - kill them quickly
- • Once portal is found, everyone enters
Stage 6: Mathematics
Solve a simple math equation by standing on numbered platforms.
How to Solve:
- • NPC gives you an equation (e.g., "3 + 4 = ?")
- • Platforms are numbered 0-9
- • Party members stand on platforms to form the answer
- • For "3+4=7", stand on platform 7
- • For two-digit answers, two members stand on different numbers
Example: "12 - 7 = ?" Answer is 5, so one person stands on platform 5.
Stage 7: Teddy Bear Hunt
Find and kill the "Master Teddy" among many identical teddy bears.
Why You Need Keen Eyes:
- • Room is filled with identical teddy bears
- • Keen Eyes/Eye of Amazon reveals the Master Teddy
- • Master Teddy appears with a crown icon when skill is active
- • Kill only the Master Teddy to proceed
- • Killing wrong teddies wastes time
Note: Keen Eyes must be MAXED for this to work reliably. Level 1-2 Keen Eyes won't cut it!
Stage 8: Boss Fight (Alishar)
The final challenge! Defeat Alishar, one of the toughest pre-Big Bang bosses at this level.
Boss Mechanics:
- • HP: Very high (~100,000)
- • Damage: Can one-shot lower levels
- • Special Attacks: Summons monsters, AOE attacks
- • Recommended: Cleric/Priest for healing!
Strategy:
- • Cleric heals the tank continuously
- • Ranged DPS stay safe and focus Alishar
- • Kill summoned mobs quickly - they can overwhelm you
- • Bring LOTS of potions - this fight is long!
- • Stay patient - rushing leads to wipes
Pro Tip: A Cleric with Heal makes this fight 10x easier. Highly recommended!
🎁 Bonus Stage
After defeating Alishar, you'll get access to a bonus stage with excellent loot!
- • Limited time to collect items
- • High-level equipment drops
- • Scrolls and valuable items
- • Grab everything you can!

💡 Pro Tips & Tricks
🔥 Party Composition
Ideal party: Mage (Teleport), Thief (Dark Sight), Assassin/Bowman (Keen Eyes), Cleric (Heal), + 2 DPS. This covers all required skills plus healing.
⚡ Skill Verification
BEFORE entering, have your mage, thief, and archer/assassin confirm they have the required skills! This saves everyone from wasted time.
🎯 Learning Curve
LPQ is complex. Your first few runs will be slow. Stick with the same party and you'll get faster with practice!
💬 Communication Critical
LPQ requires MORE communication than KPQ. Voice chat makes this significantly easier if your party uses Discord/etc.
💊 Stock Up on Potions
Especially for Alishar! Bring at minimum 100 HP potions and 50 MP potions if you're a magic class.
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- ❌ Entering without required skills
You WILL fail Stage 3, 4, or 7. Check skills before entering! - ❌ Rushing through stages
LPQ punishes impatience. Take your time and coordinate properly. - ❌ Not bringing enough potions for Alishar
Boss fight can take 10+ minutes. You'll run out mid-fight if unprepared. - ❌ Attacking wrong enemies in Stage 7
Use Keen Eyes and ONLY kill the Master Teddy! - ❌ Poor positioning in boss fight
Ranged stay far, melee dodge AOEs. Getting one-shot wastes everyone's time.
