## Hints and Suggestions

* **Summoning the Secret Boss**:
	+ Secret Boss: Valkyrie Kelrik
	+ Summoning method: He can be summoned by placing 3 relics on the holders which correspond to the images located on the North facing castle walls. Kelrik can be summoned before or after destroying the crystal.
	+ Rewards: 2000 Points to Score.
* **Solving the puzzle**
	+ The central crystal is protected by a barrier which can only be unlocked by solving a tedious puzzle.
	+ There are 10 relic holders around the castle with the image of a symbol. these symbols randomize , making this the toughest and most time-consuming event in the cataclysm. Follow this convention for an easier run.
	+ The puzzle requires 4 dodecahedron-shaped relics. Two of these relics are inside chambers on opposite sides of the castle. Besides each of these relic is another relic hidden behind a barrier.
	+ To open the relic barrier, simply place the 2 relics on the holder that corresponds to the images above the chamber containing the relics behind barriers. Click on Expand/Collapse to Reveal/Conceal a table with the shapes.

* + For example, if the images above the enclosed relic are 3 squares and 2 stars, find their corresponding holders and place the relic on them. There are red indicators above the enclosed relic which turn green when unlocked. Repeat for both the relics.
	+ Once all 4 relics are available, place them on a holder each which corresponds to the image present under the central crystal.
	+ For best results and avoiding unwanted confusion, only 1 Freelancer should do the puzzle and the rest should fight the enemies.
* It is always recommended that there be 4 Freelancers in the team to do this event.
* It is still possible to complete this event with only 1 Freelancer, however.
* If the Rift at the center of the event opens, the stability collapses, but the score multiplier doubles. Destroying it will bring back the stability and the score multiplier will return to what it was at the beginning of the event.
* Defeat enemies with armor such as the Dominion Storm Brute, Dominion Frost Brute, Turrets, and Dominion Fury using Armor Buster, Acid, or at least Fire type Damage.
* Defeat enemies with shields such as Dominion Fury, Dominion Ash Valkyrie, Dominion Frost Valkyrie, Dominion Storm Valkyrie, or Dominion Elementalist using Shield Breaker, Lightning, or at least Ice type Damage.
* Enemies with regular (red) health can be defeated using any damage type.
