[Title]
Didn’t they fail the difficulty balance for the ‘Ice Spire Tower’ in this expansion pack? (+559)
[Content]
Does the solo dungeon difficulty make any sense?
Considering the Training Tower in the plains region, it seems like there should be a new skill at the end here too, but it looks impossible to break through the 9th floor with current specs?
You can forcibly climb up to the 8th floor since there’s no enrage, but the 9th floor boss ‘Ice Ogre King’ is the problem.
I have full Temple farming and an Elite+ attack power Echo, but if you can’t deal damage artistically, enrage comes out before 60%.
It’s even an area enrage pattern that can’t be ignored with invincibility skills.
It freezes you with an area skill and slams down, killing you instantly.
You saw 60% after dealing damage like crazy? That’s where the problem starts again.
An 8-consecutive area freezing pattern comes out.
This can be ignored with invincibility skills, but you can’t rest from dealing damage even while avoiding.
Ah, by the way, since the intervals are short, you must plan to use the Training Tower skill invincibility judgment in between.
Since the Training Tower skill’s invincibility judgment is very short, you’ll have to try many times until you succeed.
And you know that even if you rotate 8-second invincibility skill cooldowns mixing in the Training Tower skill, 5 consecutive resistances are the limit, right?
Don’t even think about challenging if you couldn’t get the cooldown reset bracelet from the Dwarf village.
And even if you succeed in resisting, damage is lacking at current levels.
The entry level is 45, and the leveling end for this ‘Par Snowy Region’ is 45.
But the Ice Ogre King is level 50. Damage doesn’t go in well due to level difference.
Full farming of this region’s elite dungeon seems to be the minimum condition for trying.
Otherwise, you might be able to catch it after raising your level more when the next region opens?
I complained in the title, but it doesn’t seem like it was made to be cleared right now in the first place.
There are people trying to see how much HP they can shave off as ‘Ogre Fang’ Keke. Don’t waste your time and try again later.

-People exploring the world view and sub-quest maniacs discovered it and spread the information so everyone rushed there kekeke. Looking at how you have to cross high mountains for a while, it’s right that it’s not meant to be tried now.
ㄴ Yeah the basin entrance is on the opposite side. You can enter after accessing the next region, but it seems they forcibly broke through the route kekeke
ㄴ Really? Then can’t you go to the next region now if you come out that way?
ㄴ What have you learned so far. You can’t withstand mob beatings in the next region without full farming previous elite dungeons. The Ice Spire Tower is barely broken through because there’s no enrage up to the 8th floor in 1:1.
ㄴ Did they make the whole expansion pack map in advance?
ㄴ Yeah but even the game company probably didn’t expect people to break through forced routes?
ㄴ No, more than that, there are quite a few people who already hit level 45? Kekeke Don’t you guys sleep?
-I know a way to reduce the number of resistances for that 8-consecutive area cold emission. 8 floor signs appear when entering 60%, right? You can erase floor signs by throwing torch objects on the tower walls, so if you throw 5 and erase 5, the Ogre King only absorbs 3 floor signs. Then you only need to resist 3 times.
ㄴ Really? Then you don’t need to raise Dwarf village friendliness and farm for the bracelet
ㄴ But you can’t deal damage while doing that kekekeke. You need to keep dealing damage even while resisting, so the enrage pattern will probably come out while performing that gimmick.
ㄴ Yeah you definitely need to level up to reduce the level difference penalty. Even if you fully farm the elite dungeon that opens in this region, damage will probably be lacking? The level difference is just too much.
-A mage uploaded proof of taking it down to 40% on the official homepage. They said they succeeded in 8 resistances once after trying for 10 hours. Seems to be the current record.
ㄴ Mage OP kekekekeke
ㄴ When are they nerfing mages
ㄴ No Swordsmen or Fighters? What are Deathly Death and the white kid doing? The white kid with a Legendary weapon might be able to catch it.
ㄴ Doesn’t seem to have hit level 45 yet?
ㄴ The white kid plays quietly. Even if she catches it, we have no way of knowing. At least there’d be an announcement for elite dungeons.
-Speaking of the white kid, there’s a famous spot where you can meet her recently. You can see the white kid if you wander around the Ice Troll grinding area.
ㄴ Is she leveling up? Can you talk to her if you meet her?
ㄴ You can talk if you loiter nearby kekeke
ㄴ Yeah I talked to her yesterday too.
ㄴ What does she say?
ㄴ “This is my spot” kekeke
ㄴ So cute kekekekeke
ㄴ For real… If the white kid says “This is my spot”, you should give it up…
ㄴ Who taught her something strange.
ㄴ She doesn’t say much even if you hunt next to her. She seems to move spots herself if uncomfortable.
ㄴ Don’t bully the white kid… Give up your spot…
ㄴ Phew… Our white kid has really become a celebrity now that she even shot an advertisement.
ㄴ I’ve been watching the white kid since her Orc Warrior set newbie days. I knew she’d make it big.
* * *
Recently, I’ve been encountering many people.
“It’s strange.”
The ‘Par Snowy Region’ is quite wide.
Just the snow hills where Ice Trolls appear that I’m hunting now have enough space for hundreds of advance party members who’ve finished full Temple farming to hunt comfortably.
Yet users are often seen nearby.
Loiter loiter.
“Oh my, it’s the white kid.”
“Wow, she really was hunting here.”
This time it’s two women.
My communication skills have improved recently. Maybe it’s because I often talk with users I encounter in grinding areas.
Now I can even approach strangers first.
I approached the unnies loitering at the place where Ice Trolls respawn.
Most of them give up their spot if I speak first.
But since I didn’t rent out the hunting ground, there’s a need to coordinate through conversation.
“Um, are you going to hunt here?”
When I chirped, the unnies’ eyes started sparkling.
“Kyaah…! Look how pretty her voice is! This is my first time hearing the white kid’s voice!”
“White ki-, no, Rain-nim, do you want to party and hunt together with unnies?”
Shake shake.
Although party hunting experience efficiency in leveling sections isn’t bad, I preferred hunting alone.
There’s only one person who can level up with me.
“Grrrr!”
Huff, huff.
Along with an angry snorting sound, a red-haired Yin-Yang Master started appearing from below the snow-covered hill.
Yin-yang orbs are spinning around her, and red energy is imbued in the talismans clutched in her hand. She’s in full battle stance.
I urgently said to the unnies.
“Um, my companion has come. Unnies, it might be dangerous if you stay here.”
“Gasp…!”
“It’s Chris!”
Pitter patter!
The unnies who were recommending party hunting to me quickly disappeared from my sight.
Pitter patter.
I happily greeted Chris after being surrounded by the unnies.
“Chris unnie, I secured a spot where lots of trolls appear.”
“Huhu, I’ll level up quickly thanks to Rain.”
Chris relaxed her expression as if she was never angry and stroked my head while smiling brightly.
“…But, were you really going to attack? The penalty for PK in normal fields is huge, right? Those unnies didn’t do anything that bad.”
“Hmph, trying to hunt Rain is a serious crime.”
“…Hunt?”
I’m not prey.
Flash.
Kaaak!
Every time my sword passed by emitting silver light, Ice Trolls collapsed spewing green blood.
Boom boom boom!
Screech-!
Chris’s talismans stuck into the place where Ice Trolls were standing, forming a demon-sealing formation. The explosion that occurred on top of it tore the trolls’ bodies apart.
“Great! Level 44 achieved!”
“I’m at 45 now. But when did you hit 44?”
Chris’s level was already at 44.
Chris unnie can hardly log in on weekdays, when did she level up?
“Haah, unnie has been leaving work very late recently. I’ve had no choice but to reduce sleep and level up.”
“Ah, don’t overdo it.”
Chris definitely looked tired. She must have been leveling up separately while I was sleeping.
Chris looked at me with puzzled eyes.
“You leveled up slowly in the previous region, but quickly this time?”
“Since it’s a new expansion pack region, I wanted to hit the next dungeon entry level of 45 first and look around. There’s also somewhere I want to go first when I hit 45.”
“Could it be…”
“Yes. I’m going to challenge the Ice Spire Tower.”
“You know that’s originally the next region’s dungeon, right? Well, if it’s our Rain.”
I nodded.
I can overcome the penalty from level difference.
As long as an enterable route has appeared, nothing can stop me.
“The path there is completely snow-covered mountains, and they say it’s hard to advance because of heavy blizzards and very deep snow. I guess it can’t be helped since it’s not the normal route.”
“…That’s really a big problem. Rain, you should go with unnie.”
“…?”
Of course it will be cold, but I have the ‘Ignition Stone’ obtained from the Dwarf village.
In-game clothes are well insulated too.
It shouldn’t be a big problem to the extent Chris is worried.
Crossing the valley with deep snow, I could understand why Chris was worried.
Plop.
My body sank into the snow up to my waist.
“Eee… eek!”
I was very angry.
Slash slash slash!
I swung Astaroth imbued with starlight frantically to clear away snow and started advancing forward again.
Plop.
Not far, my body sank into snow again.
I became tearful.
At that moment, a hand approached from behind and went between my armpits.
That hand lifted me up with a swoop.
Dangle dangle.
I turned around while hanging from that hand.
“Chris unnie.”
“Huhu. Hard to go alone?”
“Don’t you need to level up?”
“It’s okay. Unnie enjoys wandering around with Rain the most.”
Chris hugged me up.
She supported my bottom with her arms and rested my head over her shoulder.
“U-umm.”
This is embarrassing.
It’s unavoidable for Lee Seulbi’s body that can’t move its legs, but to think I’d be hugged by unnie even in this world where I can walk around as I please.
“Hehehe.”
Chris let out a silly laugh while hugging my body.
Boing boing.
I crossed the snow-covered mountains while clinging to Chris’s body like a cicada.
