Guide Clock Tower Raid & Etiquette

Introduction
This is a raid that can be done without much hassle (at least floors 1-11), or you can make it a
pain in the ass for everyone. I decided to write this because I've been to a bunch of CT-runs that,
while usually havin ood !eo!le, lacked knowlede and"or orani#ation. Click on the "read
more" below to see the full guide. $es... it will be a lon read, but it will also hel! everyone
have a nicer raid e%!erience. If there's anythin I should chane, if you s!ot an error or if you
have any more information !lease &' me in the forum (s()* +ei#oku , (1* 'inun).
Level: 'aster
Characters: 1 character !er !erson
Max. Participants: -.
Mission Failed: If you do not finish the floor in time or if everyone dies.

General information and etiquette
-efore $ou enter and while $ou assemble prepare and check ever$thing: 4!ell
+ey")5, key to whatever floor you want ot 9um! to (and :2; has it), if your 3uest is even
done to enter it (<<<), if you have all your rins, an e%tra 1o)-bracelet for 7lare, 4oul
Crystals etc...
The seal for the CT entrance will stay broken for a while after you use the key, so don't
worry if you have to e%it the lobby to make a new one.
)very boss in Clock Tower are Lifeless racial and have .ard #rmor !ro!erty.
Take your daily Clock ower 'nvestigation /uest from the uard outside CT for e%tra
rewards*
Time of Toothed :heel = )ither of these* 2onor Cards, >eteran (")%!ert ( cards or
Trainin ?"6 Cards. The 3uest for each floor ets com!leted when the roulette a!!ears.
If there is a Machine 0evice anywhere on the floor you can be sure it has to be clicked
to activate somethin. If a boss is unattackable, find the 'achine @evice.
1n most floors $ou will fight two bosses, 1 in the bottom room and 1 in the to! room,
so even if you finish off one room there's still the other. Asually they have the same
mechanic.
4ince it's an 'CC1 raid, ever$one has to be serious about their role. This means no
scouts forettin their rins, no )le"2ellena forettin a second 1o) for 7lare buff etc...
;nce the @estroyed 6ody of a boss a!!ears, onl$ normal hit it. #lso2 check who got
the ke$.
:hile waitin for the raid to start, don3t go off to do random shit 45xPvP2 ,-2 -ount$

+ill him, the ates and the s!awnin mobs too.

Floor C
-oss: &erfect 4hinin 'achina
Mechanic: This room starts off with some monsters and a cou!le of statues that s!in and show
numbers. $ou can turn the statues around to find the combination that removes the blades, but
it's not needed to do so. ? bit u!wards there's a !ath made out of rotatin blades. 2ave one
!erson o that !ath to activate a switch that will tele!ort everyone into the bottom room.
Ha'e someone o throuh the path of blades.
The bottom room is sealed with rotatin blades. 'onsters will s!awn, kill them to s!awn some
more, until the boss itself s!awns. ankers and 0P) be alert>> he boss can teleport to
another location in the room and has a big #o+2 so move &uickl$ in accordance. +ill the

looking for and destro$ing them.
3oss stats before and after some seal stones ha'e been destroyed.
Floor E
-oss: &erfect 4hinin 'achina
Mechanic: 4ome mobs roam the hallway. There is a machine device in the first bottom boss
room - tank activates it and many monsters s!awn. +ill them while standin at the stairs - the
mobs cannot !ass further than that. you have a set amount of time. The more mobs are still alive
at the end, the stroner the boss in the first room will be.
5f you don+t kill all the mobs, the boss miht end up like this..
or maybe e'en worse.
In the second room, there will be another weaker boss first. $ou have a set amount of time to kill
it. 'onsters will s!awn, I think, if it is not killed within that time. +ill them all to finish the floor then.

-oss: Candler
Mechanic: There are some monsters in the corridor, kill them. (o to the bottom room, there are
some treasure chests. These are fake and turn into mobs. +ill them and !roceed to tank"@&4 the
Candler as usual.

follow. 5atch out if $ou didn3t kill the mobs in the corridor first % $ou might run headlong
into them now.
Tank"@&4 normally aain, until L-0M 2& where it will esca!e to the bottom room aain.
:hen the Candler is in the bottom room and low on 2& (last L10--0M), ask the hel!in s3uad to
sto! their @&4 com!letely and run u! to wait at the chest"time door. This should ensure that the
3uestin-s3uad will et the item for 1ionel.

4teamer. ?s lon as the !eo!le with the 3uest stay in bottom room s3uad they will et it.
Dow then, these two 4teamers res!ond toether. $ou have to kee! both of their 2& values close
to eachother so itFs im!ortant for the s3uads to tell what M the 2& is at. If the 2& differs too much
the boss will reenerate and maybe even s!awn minions. 't is good to have two tanks for this
floor2 however itIs also doable with onl$ one real tank 4or worst case scenario2 no tank6.
If there is only one real tank, then !ick the !erson who is most durable (well, even 2ellena can do
it if you are ood), buff them with 'elee )nhancement (and !o! a &rinci!al ?m!ule). his

any curse on anymore. 7or the to! room, there will be new numbers so rinse and re!eat.
he Kates and the Curses
There are also 8 bi ates hanin in the air in the corridors (in formation of three and three). The
!erson that first !asses the ates in any direction (u!"forward or down"backward) will curse the
whole s3uad with a debuff. There are more than 1 debuffs.here will be an announcement on
who caused the curse % and it will also tell that person to sacrifice itself at specific #ltar. If
you caused the curse, o and click on the same ?ltar (There are two - ?ltar of 4acrifice and ?ltar
of @eath, they look like stones) as in the announcement, this will remove the debuff of everyone
else. Then ask to et ressed. It also seems at some !oint the !erson with the curse ets their
