Best viewed in 720 HD 60 FPS. This is not a VG it's more of a playthrough and we only pulled off these pulls since we the Tank knew it would work out.

7:08-Kottos the Gigas and his cohorts. Really easy. The first part is just taking out spriggans and the little bomb monsters. Then the boss himself appears, he needs to be tanked but doesn't last too long and has no real gimmicks. Just don't be caught in front of him if you're not the tank.

13:02-Ichorous Ire. This one does require a strategy. The boss is a big slime you can't hurt through normal means. You have to take out a spriggan add to get powder and then someone has to hit the switch to summon a Bomb type monster. DON"T kill the bomb, it needs to live so it can self destruct on the boss. The tank will handle that by standing carefully so he won't be caught in the bomb blast but the boss will. Spriggan adds will also spawn and attack the bomb, take those Spriggans out. Once the boss is small and split enough you'll all be able to damage it and it'll end.

17:55-Gyges the Great. Simple boss fight, we just burned him here. Normally you might want to deal with the Adds as they set free more giants and will eventually all attack you. So either you burn the boss just by focusing on him or take out the adds when they come up.

This was a fun little run of the original Copperbell Mines. I was playing on a Healing class for once although such early dungeons are REALLY easy for Scholar due to having access to Eos the healing fairy and of course Cleric Stance! Thus you can do a lot of damage while letting Eos handle the healing barring any dangerous situations. Of course in later content you have to take it more seriously and that's when manually controlling Eos or using Selene come into play. White Mage probably is the harder healer to play still, our FC kinda needs more. I am not cut out to heal higher level content though otherwise I'd give it a try.


Story is:
“Abandoned once purged of ore, the Copperbell Mines laid abandoned for nigh on three centuries until Amajina and Sons Mineral Concern reclaimed the shafts - the guild's sights set on expanding the mines downward in an attempt to tap yet undiscovered veins of valuable metal. Unfortunately, it was not riches the powder kegs uncovered, but sheer terror, for when the smoke cleared, out poured an army of raging giants from the darkest recesses of the mines. The hecatonchires - thralls of the lost Throne dynasty - were, at last, free from their lightless prison; three hundred years of hate fueling their madness.”
