Decree of Freedom is Struggling

In the past 15 minutes, no party from Decree of Freedom has made it to the boss room. They're getting closer, but it's not like massive progress is being made. The Nordling Fire Archers are giving whoever comes in hell. A promising sign is they've learned that the real threat is the Nordling Fire Archers. They've been prioritizing those enemies when they encounter them.

The Test of The Valkyrie is a complex Dungeon with tough mechanics, and it has a learning curb to it. "What they need to do is designate who goes after the Nordling Fire Archers and who goes after the Nordling Raiders. Not doing this will cause mayhem in the areas with several enemies that outnumber you by great numbers." Hopefully, they see it and decide to take this approach.

My guild is getting nowhere in this Dungeon, which means we have to change our game plan. The Nordling Fire Archers have been giving us serious trouble, but when we focus on killing them, the Nordling Raiders quickly dispatch us. "We need a way to target both groups..." Only 10 people per party are allowed in, and that's not enough to split between enemies.

Leaving us in a loop of going in and dying at a certain point. We've made steady progress, but the reports that I'm getting tell me we're at a stalemate at the farthest point we've made it in. I was planning on giving it a try with my party, but at this point, my guild needs me to keep coordinating and learning as much as we can.

There are too many enemies to split between 10 people. We're outnumbered four to one in every scenario. "Emily, maybe we should pull back from here and get out members a bit stronger... Perhaps it's a problem with our levels and gear." Sammy is a smart girl, but we're already close to the level cap allowed inside... Getting any stronger shows serious risk.

Sammy sees my look and releases a long and tired sigh. Our guild has been pushing this Dungeon for the past 7 hours, and I'm starting to get tired from this. "Sammy, tell everyone we're done for the day. Everyone is free to log off or do their own thing." This grind is doing nothing for us. The broadcasting network will be disappointed, but we're not under any contracts.

Sammy leaves our makeshift command area and starts spreading the word. I take a seat on a chair and run my hands through my long brown hair. The Test of The Valkyrie has proven to be more than we can handle with what we know at the moment. "No one's cleared it yet, so no one would know the answer..." I want my guild to have that Epic Grade Class...

It'll be an incredible power boost and something that we can help nurture the guild with. Power and levels are everything in The Libertas Dive, and it's not changing anytime soon. As time slowly passes. Sammy comes back inside and folds her arms. "Everyone knows now. When should we get back on tomorrow?" We'll get on using the regular time.

Looks like Decree of Freedom has given up at this point, but I don't blame them. It took months to clear The Test of The Valkyrie the first time they did it in my past life. "Perhaps some advice about clearing the dungeon will do them good." While they likely know 10 Players per party entering the Dungeon isn't enough, there are strategies they can use.

I pick up my phone, and I open their website. Decree of Freedom has a custom website, and you can leave things on their forum. I head straight to it, and I post it anonymously. The strategy they need to use is Archer's Feint. What you do is you use the Nordling Fire Archers against the Nordling Raiders. The enemies in this Dungeon can harm each other like in most places.
