Advanced Dungeon Guide: Golden Coin Mansion

Just a little note: I will not include the "Entering the Dungeon" part of my guide, simply because at the level you are entering Golden Coin Mansion, I would at least expect that you have entered a dungeon once before. This is a non-newbie guide.

I. Introduction



The Mansion of Golden Coins is the final dungeon of the Golden Coin clan. Golden Touch, The Alchemist, Master of The Clan of Golden Coins, is the master of this dungeon. Hidden deep in the heart of Hangzhou he rules his clan from this majestic fortess. The Mansion itself is guarded by many formidable guards and have many secrets left to be unveiled.

II. Getting the Passes



III. Golden Coin Mansion Layout



A - This is the room where you will spawn

B - This is one of two doors that will allow you to enter the final boss room

C - This is where mobs and the 4 mini-bosses and 2 main bosses will spawn

D - The other one of two doors that will allow you to enter the final boss room, this is also the way leading to the chest room

E - Chests and exit are located in this area

Mini-boss rooms - (will be explained further) They contain a mini-boss surrounded by mobs, and chest loot rooms

Halls - All the areas marked with the dotted line are filled with mobs, which you must defeat in order to clear the dungeon and open the main boss rooms

IV. Defeating Golden Con Mansion

You are given 30 minutes to defeat the mobs and mini-bosses outside the main room, mobs and mini-bosses inside the main room, and the 2 forms of Martial Arts Maniac and first two forms of Golden Touch. The time for defeating Golden Touch's third form will be determined by the pass/dungeon difficulty.

The dungeon is separated into chambers. These chambers contain mobs, a mini-boss and chest rooms. The main objective for this dungeon is 1) defeat all the mobs and 2) defeat the mini-bosses, get keys from them and open the chest rooms. Remember that the chest rooms MUST be opened in order to toggle the main boss room's opening.



The Halls

The halls are marked orange and pink on the image shown above, only because the orange area of the map is covered by Goldenbell Guards Horn Bow Archers (level 130 mobs) and the pink area is covered by Goldenbell Guards Horn Bow Archers (level 131 mobs). You will need to defeat all of the mobs in the halls to be able to open the main boss room.

The Mini-boss rooms

You will need to defeat all the mobs in the room, and a mini-boss. Mini-bosses will drop keys for you to open chest rooms.

I've broken down all the chambers to include mobs, mini-bosses and keys.

You will find doors to open (like this one) in every room. The key to open these rooms are the keys dropped by each mini-boss (shown above)



And inside, you will find chests to open. It doesn't matter if you collect from the chests or not to be able to open the final room gates.



V. The Final Bosses: Martial Arts Maniac and Golden Touch

After you have opened all the doors and defeated all the mobs, the poison mist will disappear along with the bleeding. At this moment, the gates to the final boss room will open. When you enter, there will be more mobs inside, including 4 mini-bosses.

Once you have defeated all the mini-bosses, the two final bosses will spawn. Note that you only need to kill the mini-bosses to trigger main boss spawn.

Martial Arts Maniac has two forms to defeat


Golden Touch has three forms to defeat.


Note that you have the option not to clear the last mobs in the main boss room in order to finish to dungeon. You may leave them as soon as you have killed both the main bosses.

VI. Exiting

When you have defeated the two final bosses, you will be able to enter the loot room, collect from the chests and exit.



VII. The Rewards

From the Mobs:

Yes, if you are the right level, mobs will drop for you. Drops are similar to those in Wild Tower. They include GB-FC level weapons, Dodge clothes, HP absorb hats, HP/VE wristbands, seals (Fire, Water, Trees, Moon, Iron)

From Martial Arts Maniac:

This is the boss that has similar drops to Golden Shell in Silver Coin Mansion. He will drop all the White Clan Mansion gear and accessories.

From Golden Touch:

This is the boss that has similar drops to Laughing Face in Silver Coin Mansion. He will drop the Vagabond Vault of Death gear and accessories. He also drops Blood Essence.

From the Chests:

Intermediate and Advanced manuals, level 3, 4, 5 and 6 elixirs, elixir supplements and water herbs

Epithet:





I'd like to thank GM Shaleza and GM Phew for taking me into the dungeons and working on the guides with me, plus the moral support as I slaved on the guides lol.



Some missing information:

- Mobs that drop passes
- Time given to defeat 3rd boss form per pass level
- Boss levels per pass level

I'll get that information as soon as GM Phew gets back to me on them. For the meantime I hope you find the guide helpful
