Website Description
Description
Revived Illusion is one of the areas that can be reached by passing through the Geata in Tech Duinn. It is the lair of the Order of the Black Moon, where they attempted to revive the old Fomorian leader, Balor Beimnech. However, while the Balor that was awakened there is but a shell, it still remains as deadly.
It is considered a Shadow Mission by game standards, and the general rules that apply there also occur.
Requirements
The player must have cleared Generation 22 in order to access this mission.
Soul Offering
For each party member that dies in this mission, Balor will be empowered.
Map
Advice
- Certain changes occur based on the difficulty chosen:
- Mob spawn sizes and variety increases dependant on the difficulty.
- Beginner difficulty will never have more than one wave, except for the hostage rooms and intermission.
- Lava Spots casted by Balor and Salamanders scales up in damage dealt by difficulty.
- Pets generally cannot handle the damage from these, even with Divine Link.
Room Types
Hallway 1
- Clear all 5 rooms and rescue the hostages in order to proceed to Hallway 2.
- Among the room types, three of them will be regular orb switches, and two of them will be hostage rooms. These will have a white circle and an NPC in the center of them.
- Hostage Rooms:
- Standing on the circle will cause Black Moon followers to spawn and attack. Clear the room by standing on the circle (and staying on it) for a certain period of time.
- The time it takes to undo the binding circle varies with the amount of players standing on it and difficulty. The more players that are on the binding circle, the faster it will be undone.
- The size of the circle will gradually shrink over time until it disappears.
- If all party members are knocked off of the circle for a certain period of time then the room will reset itself and all progress on shrinking the circle will be lost.
- Skills that drop or manage aggro such as Crisis Escape and Shadow Cloak cause the player to not be considered as being on the circle and so cannot be used to buy time. All enemies are immune to Shadow Bind.
- Mobs spawned in these rooms do not give EXP.
Beginner | Normal | Advanced | Elite |
---|---|---|---|
20 Seconds | 4,16 minutes | 6,48 minutes | |
Binding circle reset timer (stage 3 to 0) | |||
1,10 minutes | 30 seconds | 14 seconds | Instant? |
- The Tenacious Taunt Technique can be used on a pet to redirect the aggro onto a pet, so long as their owner does not enter the binding circle.
- In Elite, two Salamanders spawn with a ~10 second self-destruct timer periodically. Upon its death, it casts a lava spot, stunning and damaging players within it.
- This can be mitigated with Mana Shield and high Magic Defense and Protection.
- It is recommend to use Spinning Slasher to easily group the Salamanders away from the binding circle.
Intermission
A number of NPC hostages will spawn in the middle of the hallway.
- Talking to the hostages will cause a Geata to appear at the entrance.
- The first time this is triggered during the mission, an unskippable cutscene occurs.
- The Gate will continually spawn Black Moon followers who will then proceed to rush towards the hostages.
- At higher difficulties, the followers run much faster.
- In Beginner and Normal modes, some Black Moon Followers will seldom run faster than others.
- Whenever a Black Moon follower reaches a hostage, the number of hostages will decrease.
- Defeat the Geata to clear this part of the mission.
- If all the hostages disappear, then all progress for this part will be reset and the lost hostages will respawn in the middle of the hallway.
- At Beginner Difficulty, it takes 60 Black Moon Followers before progress is reset.
- At Normal Difficulty, it takes 30 Black Moon Followers.
- At Advanced Difficulty, it takes ?? Black Moon Followers.
- At Elite Difficulty, it takes 14 Black Moon Followers.
General Advice:
- Flame Burst is a good skill to continuously use, especially on higher difficulties.
- Killing any enemy will cause new ones to spawn which have to be aggroed again.
- A strategy may be to damage the followers as little as possible and have them all instead aggro pets.
- Final Hit should be used with caution, as summoned Followers may have Counterattack loaded.
Geata-specific Advice:
- Splitting the party to have the strongest hitters take care of the Geata while the other party members impede the followers is advised.
- Using Death Mark on the Geata with a high damage skill with large splash radius may help keep the enemies in check.
- Make use of all the damage options you may have, including the Bone Dragon and Mir Dragon's debuffs, Exploit Weakness or Redoubled Offensive Techniques. Shattering Windmill and Dynavolt Smash from an Elemental Knight may also be an option.
Black Moon Follower wave advice:
- Making use of skills such as Divine Link and Thunder to redirect the followers's AI to attack the pet is one common method.
- Dance of Death, used with Encore, is also a good option.
- Using Dance of Death while linked with a Pet will redirect aggro to your pet. If done right, it's possible to let all Enemies aggro your Pet.
- The Fantastic Chorus's red circle area may help slow down the followers.
- Make sure your Pet stays close to you so Divine Link won't be canceled.
- A high rank of Guardian Oath, Sacred Revival or Floral Shield can make this section easier aswell since it will prevent your pet from dying.
Hallway 2
Hallway 2 consists of 6 rooms.
- 4 Orb rooms - 2 will spawn one to two waves of monsters, while 2 will spawn Red Lizard Witches and Bomb Bats.
- 2 Monolith rooms
- On Elite, Grendels will spawn in the second hallway of rooms.
- The Grendels that spawn will have the Hard Buff that boosts its physical and magical defenses and protection.
- This buff can only be removed from the Grendels once they touch a Salamander's Lava Spot.
Monolith Rooms: Monolith rooms have an un-targetable Evil Eye Monolith at their center that will cast a specific spell, on top of regular spawns.
- The monolith may be destroyed at the beginning of the fight, before they take on a color relative to the spell it'll cast.
- On Elite, Evil Eye Monolith have the following changes:
- They will be able to cast an Interrupted Connection debuff.
- On Elite, Evil Eye Monolith have the following changes:
- Two waves spawn in orb and monolith rooms on Advanced and Elite, unlike Normal which has one.
Red Lizard Witch Rooms:
- The Red Lizard Witches have Reflective Damage (up to 25% damage dealt back, bypassing Mana Shield).
- Players using high burst damaging skills, such as Meteor Strike and Nova Obliteration, must be aware of the Bomb Bats caught in the range of such skills. The player may most likely be put in deadly, which could lead to death from said monster(s) once it explodes from its death.
- A well-timed Blessing of Protection cast by another player before the Meteor Strike lands will completely negate the reflected damage, allowing one to kill all the Lizard Witches in one attack with no risk of death.
- The use of 1-Hander Spirit's Ultimate Skill can fully negate the Reflective Damage as the heal is strong and frequent enough.
Boss Room
- Every time a player dies in the mission, Balor gains a buff in various stats.
- The Salamanders Balor will summon will constantly get replenished if their numbers is low.
- Like the Grendels, Balor will have the Hard buff so it is recommended to kill a Salamander near Balor to clear the buff. (such as using Death Mark)
- Lava Spots casted by Balor's Flaming Towers scales up in size and damage dealt comparatively to the difficulty of the mission.
Elite Mode changes:
- The casting radii of the fire pillars cannot be seen until 0.5-1 second of execution.
- Four of Evil Eye Monoliths will spawn alongside Balor in the boss fight.
- They continuously rotate throughout the battlefield via Teleportation on a 10-20(?) second interval.
- Certain alignment patterns include: a diagonal line, large square, small square (near the center of the room), and a straight line against a 4x4 grid.
- Balor gains access to a new skill similar to the Cleric Stage in Seven Nightmares, with the added effect of restoring its own HP.
- They continuously rotate throughout the battlefield via Teleportation on a 10-20(?) second interval.

- This and many similar tricks have been procedurally patched out over time.
