Walkthrough guide

Battle with Zaken

Raid boss Zaken in the Balthus Knights - Zaken raid zone uses the same skills as Zaken, located on Devil's Isle, but the raid is less difficult in the instanced zone.

The instance consists of 15 cabins: three floors with 5 cabins each. During your battle with Zaken his minions will appear in the cabins to interfere with your fight with the boss.

At the beginning of the battle Zaken uses short-range attacks. When his HP is below 80%, he'll teleport to a random cabin and start using a skill which takes away characters' HP and MP and restores Zaken's health.

When Zaken's HP is below 30%, he'll teleport for the last time to the central cabin on the first floor.

When Zaken is defeated, NPC Rash will appear. Talk to her to get the reward or buy some necessary items.

Warning!

After your victory over Zaken you only have 5 minutes to get the reward. After 5 minutes the zone will close. If the amount and the weights of the items in your inventory is over 80%, you won't be able to get the reward, so please take care of it before the battle.
