Kitchen Dungeon

Basic Information

The Kitchen Dungeon is a special Shadow Mission that can be entered via the Iron Pot in Rath Royal Castle's kitchen, by using passes (called Recipes) exclusively sold by Glewyas. The dungeon's mechanics are similar to the Offering Shadow Mission.

How to enter a Kitchen Dungeon

• A Kitchen Dungeon cannot be entered if the player already has a Shadow Mission.
• A Kitchen Dungeon cannot be entered with a party. This is a solo mission.
• Glewyas sells recipes, which are used to enter the dungeon, for 1,000g each.
  • Glewyas sells only one of each recipe per channel every in-game day.
    • This means that if a player purchases a recipe, that recipe will be unavailable for other players to purchase on that channel until the recipes are restocked.
    • Recipes are restocked at 0:00 (12:00 AM) in-game time.
  • Recipes can be purchased regardless of Cooking rank, but players may only enter the dungeon if their Cooking rank meets or exceeds the recipe rank.

To enter the dungeon:

1. First, buy a recipe from Glewyas.
2. Then, walk over to the Iron Pot and click on it. A window will appear, which will allow you to select a recipe and enter the mission.

The difficulty of the mission is based on your total level:

• 1~99 Basic
• 100~299 Intermediate
• 300~999 Advanced
• 1000+ Hard
  • Unlike normal Shadow Missions, you cannot choose the difficulty of the mission.

Inside a Kitchen Dungeon

The goal of the Kitchen Dungeon is to accrue points by adding the required ingredients, in the required amounts, to the recipe within a certain allotment of time. At the end of the mission, a prepared dish can be obtained from the reward chest. Scoring higher will increase the star rating of this dish. The dish can then be shown to Glewyas, who will reward the player according to its quality.

• The moment the dungeon is entered, the timer will start decrementing.
• There will be an orb in the middle of the dungeon that must hit to start the spawning of monsters.
• Defeating an ingredient monster inside the red circle in the middle of the map will add its corresponding ingredient to the recipe.
  • Monsters defeated outside of the circle do not affect the added ingredient count in any way.
• Be aware of the recipe's required ingredients and cooking time.
  • The required ingredients can be checked at any time by clicking the Info button on the top-right of the screen.
• The spawn rate of certain ingredients roughly matches the ratio of the required ingredients
  • For Example, the Royal Caviar Canape pass would have a spawn rate of 59:47:11, if it were not for Sewer Rats or Silver Tableware spawns)
• Monsters defeated in the Kitchen Dungeon will not drop gold or experience. However, Ingredient Hunting will still yield ingredients and leather.
• Ingredient monsters will start off with 100% Protection (or more, depending on difficulty), but will be lowered by 15% each time they are hit with giant cookware.
  • Glewyas also lowers their protection by attacking.
    • The Cooking Knives and Ladles that are dropped by Glewyas and Silver Tableware will appear giant when equipped; these tools are functional weapons and have a large splash radius and wide angle, which can splash even behind the player.
      • These special cookwares cannot be taken outside of the dungeon.
• Silver Tableware will spawn as soon as the 2nd ingredient is killed and occasionally spawn afterward.
  • Silver Tableware count as 5 points towards the final score if killed in the red circle.
  • Silver Tableware are passive and won't attack the player initially. They will instead attack the ingredients in the dungeon, though they do not decrease the ingredients' protection.
    • Attacking the Tableware directly, or with splash damage while it is using Defense, will cause it to aggro to the player. However, attacking the Silver Tableware while it is attacking an ingredient or Glewyas, will not cause it to change aggro.
• Occasionally, a Sewer Rat will spawn.
  • If a rat is killed inside of the red circle, points are greatly deducted from the score (-10 ~ -15 points each).
    • Players should be mindful of where Glewyas is, as his splash can potentially be disruptive to their attempts to direct the rat.
  • When doing the Hotcake of Love recipe for G11, Sewer Rats deduct fewer points.
• Points are deducted if the player goes over the required amount of any ingredient.
  • The points deducted scale as the difficulty of recipes increases.
• Points are also deducted if the player does not complete the dungeon within the allotted time.
  • The more difference in time between the player's time and the allotted time, the more points are deducted. This means finishing the dungeon too late or too early will negatively impact the final score.
  • Players should be very careful not to hit the giant wooden fork inside the dungeon until they are ready to complete the recipe. Doing so will end the mission prematurely.
    • The fork is a prop, and so is safe from splash damage. It must be directly attacked to be activated.

Scoring, and Finishing a Kitchen Dungeon

• When the player is finished cooking, they must hit the large wooden fork. If enough points are scored, a chest will appear holding the finished food as a reward.
  • Make sure to claim the reward from the reward chest before exiting the mission!
• Tasting adds one point to the overall dish score for every rank, starting at Rank F.
  • ex: Rank F adds 1 point, Rank 1 adds 15 points.
    • This does not allow one to score above 100, however.
• Finishing near the specified time of the Recipe's instructions gives better results than going over the time to get more ingredients.
  • ± ~4 Seconds = No Point Deduction
  • ± ~14 Seconds = -0.1 to -0.9 Points
  • ± ~29 Seconds = -1.0 to -1.9 Points
  • ± ~40 Seconds = -10 Points
  • ± ~120 Seconds = -50 Points
  • Point deduction scales with difficulty rank.

• To obtain a reward, bring the finished dish to Glewyas and select "Show him the food." He will give a reward of gold and experience. If the star rating of the food is 3 or higher, he will also give Royal Food Court Delivery Lists. For a list of rewards, go here.
• The food taken from the reward chest can also be kept and consumed, instead of turned in to Glewyas for a reward. However, none of the preparable foods have entries in the Cooking Journal.

Kitchen Dungeon Tips

• It is recommended to have high damage weapons and skills.
  • High-ranked Evasion is also useful for dodging magic bolts that are often spammed mercilessly by the ingredients.
• Defeating the main ingredient (or the ingredient you need the most of) should be top priority. Always attack the ingredient you need to even out the recipe.
• Avoid unnecessary fights with Silver Tableware. They do massive damage. If they bother you and you are strong enough, you may want to take out Silver Tableware.
• A Chain Cast-4 Firebolt is great for one-hit killing ingredients. A high ranked Lightning Bolt works as well. Different foods have different tolerances to magic and melee damage.
• If you have an area-of-effect pet, such as an Ice Dragon, use their summoning abilities to control the food and tender them while they're immobile.
• HP potions are likely needed in lengthy recipes, due to constant magic bolts whittling down health. A high ranked Mana Shield and Mana potions are very useful for harder difficulties.
• Charge+Smash is good for quickly knocking sewer rats outside of the cooking pot.
  • Wind Blast is also a good option to do this.
• The knockback range of Flash Launcher is most nearly the radius of the orb to the edge of the red ring, knocking anything from center outside of the pool if aimed properly.
• Instead of depending on Glewyas to attack ingredients, it is advised to defeat the Silver Tableware and use the dropped Cooking Knife instead. The Ladle occasionally dropped by Glewyas can also be used to the same effect.
  • Using a Guard Cylinder with these cookwares allows a Rank 1 Flame Burst to lower their protection five times (reducing by 75%) without knocking them back far.
  • For those who have high Strength, it is possible to simply fight using the cooking knife, taking advantage of its massive splash range and radius. The best way to do this is to knock all of the food as close to each other as possible. Windmill tends to knock back food closer than normal hits with the knife. Use this to keep food close together and inside the pot. Smash knocks back very far. This is good for ingredients like spice you don't want to add too much of.
    • One tactic is to camp the center of the pot where ingredients spawn and attack with the knife very slowly, delaying as much as possible. This serves to reduce many ingredients' protection as much as possible without knocking them back. It works well as long as the ingredients don't charge a bolt or use an occasional melee attack. After sufficient tenderizing (usually indicated when you successfully critical hit an ingredient), one can switch to their main damage dealing weapon or skill.
    • Another tactic is to hit foods with little to no knockback only. You will get more hits in if you don't finish the combo, and you will only knock back foods hit with the splash damage, but it may backfire if the food fights back. This tactic is also good for increasing proficiency with certain weapons.
    • If the splash range of the cooking knife worries the player, a high rank Bash will do it just as efficiently to a single ingredient. Helpful to avoid catching unnecessary ingredients.
• This dungeon is good for ranking skills with boss kill requirements, especially Windmill, and it pays to have a high Windmill rank to do high critical damage to larger crowds of food.
• Take advantage of Divine Link's Guardian Oath sub-skill on a Lime Sprite pet. Unifying with it will cause the pet's auto-defense to trigger on received melee attacks, allowing more time to properly aim attacks.
• The skill Hydra Transmutation will do damage through the food's high defense and protection.
  • Does not tender the food's physical defense and protection.
  • Can be dangerous if too strong, for the fast killing may cause rats to spawn into the poison and die in the dish.
• A high-rank Meteor Strike will almost perfectly cover the red circle, and both its impact and burn damage will bypass the ingredients' defenses, and kill monsters without knocking them back.

Recipes and Rewards

• Rewards are based on the food's score and the recipe's rank.
  • Experience and Gold
  • If the food's rating is high enough, one or more Royal Court Food Delivery Lists (1, 2 or 3)
    • These Delivery Lists can be exchanged with Glewyas for various rewards, including cooking tools with exclusive enchants, Wheat Flour, as well as giant cookware weapons that can be used outside of the Kitchen Dungeon.
      • These giant cookwares have no special effect inside the Kitchen Dungeon. They are mainly novelty items.
    • Perhaps most notably, the Delivery Lists can be exchanged in Glewyas's Secret Shop to obtain the necessary skill books to rank up the higher ranks of the Cooking skill.
