The Desecrated Crypt The Desecrated Crypt ​

Beneath the barrow-mounds a sealed crypt has been broken open from the inside. The dead walk its halls — and the Hollow Saint sings them awake.

Sealed by a quest. Besides Melee 55, you must finish quest 8 of The Silent Crypt before you can enter.

How a run works ​

Waves are fought in order, without a break: your HP carries from one wave straight into the next, and nothing heals you in between — bring food, or an Auto Eat that can keep up. Clear the last wave and the Barrow Chest Barrow Chest drops and the run restarts at wave 1, so a dungeon you can clear farms itself.

Die at any wave and the run ends there. You keep everything you picked up on the way, you are healed to full, and the dungeon resets to wave 1 — the only thing you lose is the progress toward the chest.

Every wave pays XP as if it were level 82 — the dungeon's highest wave — so the easy opening waves are not penalised for being below your level. See Combat for the XP formula.

This dungeon mixes 3 combat styles ( Melee, Magic, Ranged), so no single loadout holds the triangle advantage for the whole run. Check the wave list before you commit.

"Beat it with" is the combat triangle pick: attacking with that style gives +15% hit chance and +10% damage, and the style it beats takes the same penalty. Defense is what your hit chance is rolled against — a high-Defense monster at your own level is a slower kill than its level suggests.

What the Barrow Chest holds ​

Opening one rolls a single line from this table, so the odds below are the chance per chest.
