(Patch 2.6) This was done at Account Level 65, with a mixture of tier 5, tier 6, and tier 7 traps. Brimstone is at tier 7; Barricade, Arrow Wall, and Grinder are at tier 6; Great Wall Barricade, Floor Scorcher, and Tar are at tier 5. Tar has the "XP Siphon" Part equipped, and I am using the "Sister Eaten By An Ogre" Trait, as well as the "Enjoys Pain" Trait.

I do use Midnight for this map instead of Max, because I firmly believe it cannot be done at this Account Level without Midnight. It may be possible if everything is at tier 7, with decent Parts/Traits.

So I was really irritated with this map. As you can see in the beginning, I had cleared it with Max. I came in with Max, had 3 damage Traits (Sister Eaten By An Ogre, Killer Buzz, and Bear Hugs) and the Overachiever Trait (which starts you at level 2, and the slot bonus is movement speed); I was using a Grinder with Burning Resonator, Viscous Tar with Subsidized Parts and XP Siphon, and a Brimstone with XP Siphon. I missed the Par Time by 2 seconds. To say the least, I was pretty pissed off.

In turn, I removed all of that nonsense, kept Sister Eaten By An Ogre (and used my Tar with XP Siphon), added Enjoys Pain, and proceeded to rock the hell out of the map with Midnight. I beat the Par Time by almost 10 seconds. That is ridiculous.

My thought is that this is not a level 56-65 map (the minions may be stronger) or the minion's entrance to the map is so delayed, that it's affecting Par Time (kind of like Docks at Eventide).

The short of it is, you have two options - Either use Midnight at a lower Account Level, or use Max at a higher Account Level. It can be done with Max, but you will need to be above the suggested level range, period. Believe me, I've attempted this enough times with Max to know. I even tried with Blackpaw, and I was still completing it with 15+ seconds over Par Time.

I will make another video showing a different method with Max, but I will more than likely come back at Account Level 70, and possibly with one or two more tier 7 traps. It'll just take me a while to experiment with what the minimum is to complete it with Max.

Anyway, the Barricade strategy is exactly the same as War Mage, only that I don't snake them in the NE corner (although I still snake them into the Guardian area). The reason for this is the Kamikaze Kobolds that will appear on wave 8 and 11. Instead, I just put down Tar at the NE gate to slow things down.

Wave 2 - At the end of this wave, start to trap the NW corner. I place a Great Wall to block the southern lane, forcing them all against the column, where I put up a Grinder.

Wave 5 - Stay at the SW gate for Tubifore, then clear the minions there until the NW minions show up. Ensure that you place a couple of Tar/Grinders at the entryway to the NE corner, because there will be Kobolds at some point. At the end of this wave, you'll see me put Grinders and a Tar at the NE gate, this is actually a bit of a mistake, as I should have used that coin to put up Barricades to snake minions into the Guardian area (as I do at the start of wave 7).

Wave 8 - Kamikaze Kobolds from the NE, dispose of them quickly and try not to die while doing it. Use Unchained after the Mercenary shows up (either kill the Mercenary with it and/or clear the wave with it).

Wave 9 - You'll see me do a jump, then Dash and Slash, to get to the second Unstable Rift that appeared in the corner. If the Unstable Rift does show up there....don't do that, unless you feel confident in it, as you can walk to it and be fine. I was actually just experimenting to see if it would work.

Wave 10 - Start at the south gate, as the minions appear there first. When they're mostly cleared, head to the NE. I hide around the column where the Guardian is because of the stupid archers.

Wave 11 - Kamikaze Kobolds will appear again from the NE. This time though, there will be more than 3, and there's a Mercenary from the same gate. I use Unchained here, mostly because I don't want to potentially kill myself on the Kobolds. The final wave countdown begins at 12:31, so that's a good time to be around. If the final wave starts at 13:00 or over, chances are you won't make the time.

Wave 12 - Start at the west gate, then clear the majority of it and work on the NW. The NE will spawn last, and it is a fairly smaller group than the rest of the wave.
