► New World Expedition Guide: "Amrine Excavation"
-
The Starstone Barrows expedition is located north of the Amrine Excavation. You can reach the map by examining it, or you can find it with the help of the image above. The place is also northwest of Value Tempus.
There are 6 different regions inside. These regions are as follows;
Ancient Hall
You start the Starstone expedition from the Ancient Hall area. Head down the corridor and you'll find a note on your left called Nakashima's Frustratons. The aforementioned Nakashima Amrine is the mini boss in Excavation. When you're ready, turn right and fight the first group of enemies. Defeat the Warrior and Javelineers enemies first, then the Shieldman enemy. You can use this rank throughout the expedition and easily overcome the enemies.
At the end of the corridor, you will find a room with a downward staircase. Beware, many enemies are waiting for you below. As the enemies are in 2 groups, fight one by one and move on to the next corridor. Be careful when shooting enemies, you will die if you attract more enemy agros than necessary.
In the next part, there is a bridge leading to the big stone gate. Of course, this door is guarded by the enemy named Centimas. Next to him are ordinary enemies. Kill the spear thrower and Centimas first. Since Shieldman is a highly defensive creature, it will steal your time. Centimas can revive an enemy. This beast named Frost Aura can increase the difficulty of the battle. When you overcome the creatures, use your Azoth Staff and break the seal of the stone door.
Sealed Chamber
Behind the door you opened is a room with a way up. Here you will encounter many enemies. In the right room you will find Iron Vein and Lore Book. The place on the left is the actual place you need to go. There are lasers in this room. You must avoid the lasers by ducking and exit the Sealed Chamber area. Laser mechanics abound in the next expedition. You can think of it as a preview. After passing the lasers, you will have reached the first checkpoint. There will be an Expedition Chest to the right of the checkpoint. Get the items inside. Advance and destroy the enemies. Then pass the lasers moving up and down. Defeat the opponents you encounter and move right to the Forbidden Passage.
Forbidden Passage
This area contains lasers that directly cause you to die when touched. This region contains some puzzle and platforming elements. You have to solve puzzles and parkour. There are several ways to progress in this region, but we will tell you the easiest way. Go down the ramp to the right. Don't try to get through the lasers because there's no way to get through. Instead, hold onto the ledge on the pillar and walk along the ledge. Then you can drop yourself down. Do not follow the main trail after landing. You will fry. Instead, go to the right of the ledge you landed on and pass under the lasers. Climb the ledges and cross the other side. Move along the wall and avoid the moving lasers.
When you turn the corner, you will see a wooden path. Follow the road and jump to the opposite side. You have now reached the door you need to reach. Another checkpoint will be in your field of view, but you will not be able to reach it because of the lasers. Proceed to the left of the door and jump across the gap. Destroy the enemies and go up the ramp. Jump across. You arrive at the monolith area with a purple pool. A player must interact with the monolith and get the Arcane Protection feature. This shielding allows you to pass through the lasers and creates a gap in the lasers. In this way, other members of the group can safely pass the lasers. Go back to where the Checkpoint is and pass the lasers to activate the checkpoint. Kill the enemies in your way and take the River Cress node from the corner of the room. Continue on your way.
The Amphitheater
You are now in a room with a large group of enemies in the middle and stairs at the back. After destroying the enemies, climb the stairs and defeat the enemies again. You will be in a corridor as you proceed. There will be a stone door and enemies in front of you. Kill the enemies and unlock the door with your Azoth Staff. New checkpoint opened.
Shattered Obelisk
In this area, enemies are guarding a ladder. There are two ancients under the stairs. You can finish them one by one. When you climb the stairs, the road splits into two. Since there are lasers on the road on the right, you must take the road on the left. Keep on the road and destroy the enemies that come your way. Unseal the door and reach the fourth checkpoint. Proceed until you reach a large room. At the back you will see a large door. You can't open this door yet, so go to the stone door on the right.
Halls of the Crypt
Advance as you fight enemies on a linear path. You have to be careful as the number of enemies here is very large. Eventually you will find another monolith that gives you Arcane Protection. Enemies of Limos and Erebas will be waiting for you. Kill Erebas first. Once your battle is over, one of your teammates must receive the buff.
Get through with your laser protection and fight enemies along the corridor. Pass the moving lasers and reach the fifth checkpoint. After a little progress, you will encounter the first boss of the expedition, Alectos the Relentless. Don't forget to clear the surrounding enemies before attacking.

───────────────────────────────────────
Alectos, the first boss of the Starstone Barrow expedition, uses his magic power and the energy of the obelisk to become a tough fight for the players.
Abilities:
Summon Minions - Alectos summons 3 minions. Minions can jump into the air and damage players. They have little life and are weak on their own. They can kill players when they are together. Watch out for the minions.
Empower - Alectos empowers a random minion, making it more durable and deadly.
Arcane Orbs - Alectos fires 5 orbs in the direction they are facing. While the damage can be removed by tanks, the damage will be greater for other players.
Arcane Blast - Creates rapid explosions with the Alectos staff. The damage of these explosions is average.
Arcane Nova - Alectos spins his wand and smashes the ground. It sends Arcane waves and deals damage to a small area around it. Nova's range can be tricky. Players other than tanks should definitely run away.
Throughout the battle, Alectos will send his minions against you and strengthen them. Destroy minions with your ranged damage. Follow the animations of the attacks and dodge abilities. You can stun Alectos with heavy attacks. Takes more damage and creates a void when stunned. Players should avoid the Arcane Nova ability. This ability can deal incredibly high damage. Apart from that, avoiding attacks and attacking at idle moments will be enough for you to celebrate this war with victory.

New Mission: After winning the battle, scroll forward and you will find a note. Take this note with you as you will be returning. Go down the stairs and get your protection using the monolith. Clear the enemies and advance towards the next area. Get past the lasers with your bodyguard. This is the laser zone you passed before. Proceed and kill the enemies and get the key to the big door.
Get the power-up on the monolith and pass the lasers. This time you will use the stairs leading to the big door. Send the protected player to the lasers and head to the monolith powering the Ancient Shrine. After powering up the Ancient Shrine, return to the place where you fought Alectos and craft the Blessed Obelisk Key. When you return to the area, your battle with the last boss battle, Greundgul the Regent, will begin.
With his golden armor, Greundgul awaits players who have sworn to protect the obelisk's treasures from mindless strangers and thieves.
Abilities:
Greundgul's Bone - Throws a bone at a random location and spawns enemies there. These enemies are easy to kill, but they surround players like a swarm of bees. The bone has its own health bar and will continue to send out swarms of enemies until you destroy it.
Leaping Smash - Greundgul jumps to a random place and stabs his sword into the ground. The pierced sword creates a shock wave that covers the entire area. This move is an attack that he only makes in the second stage.
The boss consists of two stages. The first step is very simple and straightforward. Greundgul attacks with his sword. His attacks happen in a specific order. You have to memorize these attacks and avoid them accordingly. Attacks can push, knock you up, or stun you. Periodically throws bones and sends enemies at you. It is useful to destroy the bone.
When you kill Greundgul, he respawns and attacks Leaping Smash and returns to battle. He only does this attack 5 times. You need to dodge as the attack emits shockwave. Do your timing well. Apart from these details, the second stage will pass like the first stage. Avoid attacks and be well-timed.
When Greundgul dies, the expedition will be complete. Don't forget to take your loot. You must also obtain the Starstone Diadem item to complete the Starstone of Shattering quest.
