Strategy

A practical step-by-step plan

1

Assign the team exit call

Pay the lair fee from the bank and agree on the Escape Caves route before entering the level 40 multi-combat den.

2

Keep Callisto frozen

Use Ice Barrage, Ice Blitz or Entangle and attack from range so the team avoids its heavy melee damage.

3

Protect knockbacks and preserve tiles

Use Protect from Magic for the white orb and leave a path through each bear-trap pattern.

4

Leave as one team

Stop attacking on the agreed player-killer call and move through the Escape Caves together.

What should I upgrade next?

Method-specific progression priorities

1

Rune crossbow -> Webweaver bow

The powered Wilderness bow improves team damage while freeze control remains the primary safety mechanic.

Major upgrade
2

Black dragonhide -> blessed dragonhide

Use the inexpensive defensive step before risking higher-value armour in the multi-combat den.

Moderate upgrade
3

Add Dinh's bulwark as an escape switch

The shield supports the coordinated Escape Caves route but does not replace the freeze or exit call.

Minor upgrade
Upgrade ROIEnter upgrade values to calculate

Common mistakes

Avoidable causes of failed or inefficient trips

Ignoring binding and knockback

Losing position during protection changes

Mishandling multi-combat interruption: Use one clear call for leaving the room.
