Trap Map: Goddess’ Rage (with video link)

Goddess’ Rage is surprisingly difficult for a 9-box-mission. The reward is about the same as Spy Hunt but I would prefer Spy Hunt any day over Goddess’ Rage when I want to solo a TBS mission. That said I must also admit that the map in this blog entry contains only a few of the traps. The simple reason is that when soloing you can’t leave your base area – and I know from earlier times, when I duoed and trioed this, that there are traps out there. So help is – as always – appreciated.

Goddess’ Rage is a classic wagenburg mission (Wagenburg: German for a circle of wagons around your campfire where you huddle in fear while aborigines ride howling around your improvised wall shooting arrows in your most sensible body parts). You defend. They attack.

There are four attack waves:

1. From start: 1st wave – you see them already.

1. 25 minutes left: 2nd wave, coming from the northwest (left).

2. 19:40 minutes left: 3rd wave (called “final wave” in the mission), coming from the northeast (right).

3. 15:30 minutes left: 4th wave, coming from the south (bottom) with the final boss in it.

The times are not quite exact.

You will need to lay traps in this mission. Net traps II are fine. Take 20 or so with you (you won’t probably need all but better safe than sorry). And there is a troy side mission to get at Odysseus’, which resets weekly.

If you are soloing (I assume with a cannon main, an oracle and a sheriff, adapt if you do otherwise):

You have to split your troups.

1. Your cannon main goes to the south, carrying the first seth’s will from your oracle with him. You slay the four monsters already there. Then your task is to remove the trap there. After the second wave appears, lay traps to block the onslaught of the boss wave.

2. Your sheriff and your oracle go north. You should try to kill every wave before the next wave occurs. That means: hurry up! After the wave is defeated, though, stall until the next wave appears. This way you avoid too many summon portal monsters. Lay traps to block the gaps in your stockade row to hamper the waves from the north.

3. After the second wave is defeated, hurry down (to the South) and reunite. You want all your mercenaries ready, sethed and in good health, when the Giant Demon, the final boss, appears. Debuff the boss with your cannon main and then shoot him with your sheriff. Don’t try to kill all surrounding mobs. The main danger here is to be overwhelmed by masses and masses of monsters who are individually weak but together quite nasty. But you have laid traps already to block their path so chances are that you can kill the boss quite easily.

If you are duoing or trioing:

One group goes north (trio: two players) and do the job described above for sheriff and oracle. The other player goes south, kills the four mobs there and if he is strong enough he can try to go further south. Don’t forget that there are traps which are currently not noted on the map in this entry (and they are net traps). You will encounter a small group of mobs already standing there and if you go further you can even take out the summon portal. As soon as the second wave appears, head back and lay traps to protect your base area from the attack of the boss and his minions. The North players should eliminate the second wave as fast as possible and then hurry back to the South player. Goal is that they are there before the boss comes up and eliminates the poor Southy. The South player should fall back as far as possible so that a line of traps (or better two lines) are between him and the boss and his minions.
