Mission: The Lost City

**Undawn Lost City Siege: Firepower, firepower and more firepower!**

In the current version of Undawn, the difficulty of the Lost City can be quite confusing. The first time players attempt it after unlocking it at Lv. 13, they might think that this Special Ops is pretty easy. But as your level increases, the mission will get steadily more difficult. In particular, when a low-level player matches and enters the Special Ops with a high-level player, the low-level player's damage output will seem extremely weak in comparison. However, it's important to understand that the Lost City is designed for learners, so this is no cause for concern.

**1. Consumables**

Many players check their essential consumables, like ammo, bandages and food, before entering a Special Ops. The reality is, there is no need to worry about these things. That's because the Lost City provides players with these in the form of munitions boxes at designated locations, as well as Special Ops-exclusive food and first-aid items (which can only be acquired and used in the Special Ops, then automatically disappear when you leave).

The only consumable you need to pay attention to is Tactical Gear. Though not much of it is needed, the Special Ops will become decidedly more difficult once it is used up.

**2. Difficulty Preview**

As mentioned previously, the Lost City always presents a challenge except for the first attempt. Although there is only one boss in the entire mission, many Mutants will spawn in various locations, blocking the player's path. The team must focus on killing them if they want to proceed. Since the Special Ops mostly consists of fighting monsters, you will need firepower to make it through. Also, players cannot respawn after reaching the boss fight. Therefore, having competent teammates is both common sense and the key to victory.

**3. The Boss Fight**

Since unique materials are limited in the early stages of the game, few players will have high-quality equipment. This means that the boss deals significant damage. It's a good idea for players to first try to avoid the boss' AoE skills when they see the prompt before re-engaging.

The Lost City is not very difficult, and monsters only have a single means of attack. As long as you pay attention, you should be able to dodge them. Also, although the boss possesses ranged attacks, its melee attacks are by far the more dangerous. Players can use bandages to survive ranged attack hits.

The last thing to know is that the boss' weak points are the yellow crystals in its torso and its head. Attack these two parts to deal extra damage. The torso should be of special priority. As long as the boss is facing you or side-on, you should easily be able to hit it. Also, after the boss uses its spit skill, it becomes weakened for a while. Focus on its weak points then to deal even greater damage. The boss will also remain stationary for this time, so seize this opportunity to attack.

**4. Recommended Skills and Equipment**

As the Lost City is filled with weak enemies, throwing Decoy Bombs works wonders. Even if you don't deal much damage, you can still group together the weak enemies and use a heavy weapon to maximize efficiency. As for devices, either the healing device or the automatic turret is an excellent choice. The healing device should generally be saved for the boss fight, so having two teammates equipped with it should be enough to keep control over the fight.

Also, if you already have enough players equipped with healing devices, then the drone is an excellent supplementary source of firepower. Choose the drone with the highest damage output. If you don't have enough healing devices, you might consider using treatment chips.

As for weapons, rifles, shotguns and various heavy weapons are recommended. A rifle or shotgun should be your main weapons. Once lots of zombies have been bunched up, you can then switch to a heavy weapon. The grenade launcher is a good choice. The Gatling gun should be saved for the boss fight. Its rapid firing rate and high damage output make it extremely effective when concentrated on the boss' weak points.

**Conclusion**

The Lost City is the player's first Special Ops, so it's designed not to be too difficult. This is especially because players are not so strong when starting out. However, it's still a good idea to make preparations before attempting the Lost City to maximize your chances of success.
