Welcome to the Valley of Slaughter Dungeon Guide for Throne and Liberty. Valley of Slaughter is a Co-op dungeon and is part of the Dimensional Circle++ difficulty and requires you to be level 50 to enter it. It is recommended to do this with 6 players.
In this guide we will walk you through the Valley of Slaughter dungeon in Throne & Liberty, including all boss mechanics and strategies.
The Arkeum was pleased with Duke Magna’s performance. However, Tuaren wanted to further test how strong his weapon could become. He performed another experiment at the risk of destroying Duke Magna. He drained the power from all of his spare test subjects and injected it directly into his creation. Empowered beyond the limits of his mortal shell, Duke Magna collapsed in agony, only to be resurrected a short time later as a supremely powerful being, Turka.
Valley of Slaughter Final Boss – Turka
Furious Test Subject Turka is the main boss of the Valley of Slaughter dungeon in Throne & Liberty. It is one of the more difficult dungeon bosses in the game currently – good coordination and positioning are especially important.
Turka has the following mechanics:
Lava Cone Cleave
The boss will slam the ground in the direction of the tank, sending out a cone of lava that deals heavy damage to anyone in the way. The tank’s main job is to keep this under control and ensure the lava doesn’t go near the group.
The rest of the group should be stacked up in the same spot behind the boss for easy healing (unless a mechanic or attack forces them to temporarily move).
Shockwaves
The boss regularly does unavoidable AOE shockwaves that damage the whole group heavily. It is recommended that everyone has around 12k HP or more to ensure you have no problems surviving this, and people need to stay stacked as much as possible so they can be quickly healed after each shockwave.
Fire Grooves
The grooves on the ground will become red hot for a few seconds. Simply stand in between the grooves until they go back to normal to avoid the damage.
Meteors
The boss will drop meteors from the sky. Move away from them to avoid getting hit.
Explosive Death Sentence
After doing all of the above mechanics, the boss will slam the ground, knocking everyone back, dealing AOE damage in the process. Two players will receive a debuff called “Explosive Death Sentence”, which can be identified by a red pillar around your character. These two players are initially stunned, but one will be released and tethered to another player who doesn’t have the debuff.
The players with the tether need to move the tether so that it touches the player who is still stunned, which will rescue them.
The player with the tether will see a large red circle around them. This indicates the range limit of the tether – if the player on the other end of the tether moves outside the circle, the tether is broken. However, only one player can see the red circle, so you need to coordinate to ensure the tether is not broken. You will need the tether for the next mechanic, so even after rescuing the sentenced player, you still need to keep the tether intact.
Sheep
The boss will spawn six sheep adds. The best way to deal with them is to keep them stacked up and cross over them with the tether. All of the sheep need to be killed, as they will drop a special object (seen as a tiny gold circle that displays an interact prompt). You don’t need it just yet, but it is required to survive the next mechanic.
Important: It is vital that no meteor is dropped on top of the object, as this will destroy it and make it impossible to survive the next mechanic. Everyone needs to be careful where they are dropping meteors, and don’t stand on top of the object until it’s time to use it.
Below 50% HP: At low HP, the boss will spawn eight sheep instead of six. This makes this part slightly harder, but you can deal with it in exactly the same way.
Ground Slam
After dropping some more meteors, the boss will raise his arms and start to charge up a ground slam. When you see the boss doing this, it’s time to use the object that was dropped from the sheep – everyone needs to do this. It will give you a shield that allows you to survive the ground slam attack. Anyone without a shield will die.
The boss will be stunned for a few seconds after this happens, giving you a good window to deal some easy DPS.
Explosive Sheep
When below 40% HP, the boss will spawn an explosive sheep. It has a lot of health, but needs to be everyone’s absolute priority – if the sheep is not killed quickly enough it will explode, wiping the group.
After this point, the fight is basically just a rerun of the previous mechanics until he dies.
