Watch out for Sandmen and Frilldoras as they will be invisible until they are directly behind you. Also beware of the MVP that spawns every two hours, Phreeoni.

Bring an elemental dagger to switch out so you can kill Whispers as they take 0% damage from neutral element weapons. Make sure you have Pierce for the Jokers (they have an extremely high hit-rate). Bring lots of potions and flywings because you will be staying here for a long time. Be wary, Executioner and
Mystellain are easy to outrun, but Ogretooth is fast and each one has an ability to break a piece of your armor.

Magnum Break and Bash

Geographer
Mantis
|
Geographers and Mantis are the only monsters on this map. With the small map size and decent spawn rate it seems like the best map to kill Geographers on. Use Magnum Break because of its fire-element property if you catch a group of them you can't kill. If you equip a spear you can hit the Geographers without them hitting you. (Click 4 squares from a Geographer to move, then attack. If you just click on them to attack the game will move you one square too close to them)

Be wary of running from Mimics into larger groups of monsters, its a large map with many nooks and crannies filled with Wraiths and Evil Druids.

Careful of the Dark Lord and Dark Illusion as they are significantly stronger than the other monsters; at around 1,100,000 health. Grand Cross would be really helpful because of the AoE factor. Be wary of the Dark Priest's ability to use the Holy Cross skill, it hits very hard and will almost drop any of the flimsier classes in one cast.
