Trap Map: Fleeing Betrayer

“Fleeing Betrayer” is one of the best of the silver missions. It is very short and easy structured. There is no summon portal, so you can take your time (according to the time limit). The only real problem are the traps. And I hope I got them all…

After Fritz, my alternative character, has reached level 105, I tried to do Fleeing Betrayer with him, a witch and an oracle. The boss fight was a bit messy but the rest was surprisingly easy. But it is the first mission where the witch’s and musician’s aoe combined are not enough to kill the normal mobs, so adapt accordingly.

Here is a short guide how this run works:

0. Did you already take the side quest from Odysseus for this mission?

1. Upgrade fully (remember: no summon portal, meaning no time pressure). Move forward once and scroll away the net trap.

First monster group

2. Advance, let your musician cast Ravaging Melody and your with cast Meteor Strike. The monsters will not be killed by that alone. Be prepared to battle it out (a sethed catapult can work miracles).

3. Heal completely up. The next fight will be against the mini-boss (Cursed Minotaur) in this mission.

The exact position of the Cursed Minotaur and his minions

4. Kill the Cursed Minotaur and his two minions. The scheme is the same as before. The boss is surprisingly weak, by the way.

5. After you killed the Cursed Minotaur go up to the right side (the left side is empty, by the way). You will encounter two cannon mobs. At the end is a hut. When you destroy it two things happen: a) you get a chest containing 20 silver coins (yay), b) 2 x 2 monsters appear further down (boo).

First two ambush mobs

6. The first two of these ambushing monsters appear near the pillar. The second two near the stockades, and they will hasten to you. So try to kill the first two before the second two arrive.

7. After killing the ambush monsters take out the trap before the stockades. After the row of stockades there are two cannon mobs who are weirdly unmoving even if you move near the stockades to trigger the trap and save a freezing scroll.

8. Be aware that directly after the row of stockades is another net trap.

Here are two screenshots about these stockade traps:

9. Kill the two (now not so un-moving) cannon mobs before the mystic stone: aoe from your witch, then finishing it up with your sethed catapult. Your main will most probably stand around being entangled in the net trap if you are as stingy as me.

10. Let your catapult destroy the mystic stone and heal up your group. The boss fight will commence shortly.

Pandarus and his companions

11. During the boss fight your group can be wiped out. Just in case let the catapult stay as behind as possible, so that you are able to retreat with it in case of emergencies.
