Murdered Yggdrasilid Nidhoggur's Guardian
|
- The party lands at (32,36) and navigation points to the north end of the room. The Party Leader has to talk to Murdered Yggdrasilid at (213,277).
- Choose Continue. for the full scene, or Skip Dialog. to start the floor immediately. Either way the 30 minute countdown begins.
- Twelve Nidhoggur's Guardian spawn in a ring around (208,278): six Rhyncho and six Phylla, so half the ring hits at range.
- Warnings are broadcast at 15, 20 and 25 minutes. At 30 minutes the gate fails and 50 seconds later the whole party is sent back to the Dimensional Library.
- The floor is also covered with 40 Ancient Tree, 30 Rhyncho and 30 Phylla. They are not part of the clear, so do not stop for them.

Ancient Tree Phylla
|
- When the twelfth guardian falls, the warp at (195,320) opens and navigation switches to it.
- Touching it drops the party on the second floor at (200,10). The 30 minute limit stops applying here, the rest of the run is bounded by the 240 minute instance timer.
- Anything still alive on the first floor is left behind.

Dark Shadow Nidhoggur's Shadow
|
- The second floor is a maze. Navigation runs to (199,178); three broadcasts from the Shadow play on the way in.
- At (199,178) touch the glowing stones to be moved to (199,255).
- The Party Leader must then touch (199,268). Nidhoggur's Shadow spawns at (199,327) and the fight begins.
- The second floor holds 40 Rhyncho, 40 Phylla and 40 Dark Shadow between (20,12) and (380,172). Walking the maze past them is faster than clearing it.

Nidhoggur's Guardian
|
- Every 3 minutes the Shadow moves the arena: the whole party is warped into one of the four corners and immediately takes that corner's effect.
- Red (115,278): HP -50%, then another -30%, and Bleeding for 60 seconds.
- White (115,373): HP -50% and Freeze for 20 seconds.
- Yellow (284,278): SP -50%, Sleep for 20 seconds and Confusion for 60 seconds.
- Green (284,374): HP -50%, SP -50% and Poison for 60 seconds.
- Five Nidhoggur's Guardian spawn in the chosen corner. Clearing them does not shorten the rotation, the next shift still comes 3 minutes later, so the choice is whether the guardians are worth the detour.
- Each corner also has three small warps that drop a straggler back into that corner's centre.

| Tips
|
Nidhoggur's Shadow
|
- Nidhoggur's Shadow only takes 1% of incoming damage, so its 320,000,000 health bar is worth far more than the number suggests. Plan for a long fight rather than a burst.
- It is Large, Dragon and Dark 4. Holy is the element to bring.
- The corner effects are percentage based, so they hurt a low HP party far less than a tank. Do not panic heal through the HP drain, heal after the debuff lands.
- The instance timer is 240 minutes, which is plenty. The only real time pressure is the 30 minute first floor.
