[[File:Undercity timer.jpg|alt=Undercity timer|thumb|255x255px|tick-tock]] | |||
There are three Districts in the Undercity and within each of them, there are 3 levels plus 1 Boss level. You do not get to select which District you will get when you activate the Undercity portal, it's randomly assigned. | |||
*Cave District - Longtooth, The Wretched (boss) | |||
*Temple District - Yoche, The Golden (boss) | |||
*Ziggarut District - Alia, Kurast's End (boss) | |||
Depending on which Tribute, if any, you offered at the Spirit Brazier you will begin with a set amount of time on a <span class="white">Timer</span> that sits next to the minimap (see annotated image below). If this timer runs out before you make it through all three levels you will fail the dungeon. However, you can add seconds to the timer by destroying Afflicted monsters and objects. | |||
There are different levels of afflicted monsters and the tougher the monster the more seconds their death adds to the timer. The more seconds you add the longer you have to build your Attunement Rank to 4. | |||
*Minor Afflicted - 1 Second | *Minor Afflicted - 1 Second | ||
| Line 198: | Line 208: | ||
*Greater Afflicted - 30 Seconds | *Greater Afflicted - 30 Seconds | ||
*Mini-Boss Afflicted - 30 Seconds | *Mini-Boss Afflicted - 30 Seconds | ||

|} | |||
When you arrive at levels 1 to 3 you will be within a magic bubble that prevents the timer from ticking down. As soon as anyone in your party steps out of it the timer begins. | |||
You increase your Attunement by killing monsters and igniting multiple Beacons positioned across each level that add even greater boosts to Attunement. | This gives you time to assess the map and most efficient route. | ||

|} | |||
===Attunement Ranking === | |||
The end goal is to build your <span class="white">Attunement Rank</span> up to level 4 (see image above) and make it through the portal to the boss level before the timer runs out. Once you reach the boss level the timer disappears. The higher your Attunement Rank the better and more plentiful your rewards will be when you kill the final District Boss. You must get to at least Attunement Rank 1 to receive any loot. | |||
{| class="skillfeatures" style="margin:auto;" | |||
|- | |||
|[[File:Kurast Undercity Annotated Screenshot.jpg|alt=Kurast Undercity Annotated Screenshot|thumb|Undercity. What's what|center|1000x424px]] | |||
|} | |||
You increase your Attunement by killing monsters and igniting multiple <span class="white">Beacons</span> positioned across each level that add even greater boosts to your Attunement Rank. | |||
[[File:Beacon completed.jpg|alt=Beacon completed|thumb|Beacon done]] | |||
It is not just a matter of tapping the Beacon to ignite it, you need to kill all the accompanying monsters to get the boost to Attunement. You will know when you've done that when the Beacon goes grey on your minimap. You'll also hear a speed boost ignite on you which you can use to speed to your next target. | |||
Each of the three levels has Beacons to ignite but at the end of level 2 there will be a <span class="white">Grand Spirit Beacon</span> with considerably more monsters surrounding it and clearing them all will add a lot of Attunement. | |||
You'll see small Attunement flames appear where you are fighting and these represent the Attunement you have just earned but you do not need to collect them, they are just a visual aid. | |||
{| class="skillfeatures" style="margin:auto;" | |||
|- | |||

|[[File:Grand Spirit Beacon.jpg|alt=Grand Spirit Beacon|center|thumb|500x500px|Grand Spirit Beacon Event for Attunement]] | |||
|} | |||
Once you reach Attunement Rank 4 you can head straight to the final portal to the Boss Level as there is no benefit to killing any more monsters. If you have reached a lower Attunement Rank but your timer is running out, leg it to the final portal and the boss. It's better to get some loot than just fail the dungeon run. Better luck next time. | |||

As with regular [[Treasure Goblin]]s they only appear on the minimap when you are close and will try to escape through their portal. If you kill them you'll be rewarded with a bonus chest when you complete the dungeon. | ||
[[File:Portal Prankster.jpg|alt=Portal Prankster|center|thumb|400x400px|Portal Prankster for Bonus Loot!]] | |||
===Tips to Help You=== | |||
*Speed is of the essence so ensure you have Boots with Movement Speed and get yourself an [[Elixir of Tailwind]] and [[Incense of Rushing Wind]] from Zyanya, the Dark Citadel Vendor in the Ancient Nexus ([https://www.purediablo.com/diablo4/map/?markerId=marker_1732664397419 Map]) which both boost speed by 15% for 30 minutes and 20 minutes respectively. | |||
*Apply Movement [[Tempering]] affixes to your Boots and Amulet. | |||
*Mobility skills such as the Sorcerer's [[Teleport]] and even [[Evade]] are very useful to get away from unnecessary fights so look for extra Evade charges on Boots. | |||
*When you arrive on the level don't step out of the bubble before you've checked the map to plan your efficient route to the exit portal. | |||
*Be sure to clear all monsters around the lit <span class='white'>Beacons</span> as when you do all party members get a sizeable speed boost as well as a Cooldown and Resource Cost Reduction. | |||
*When you hit the <span class='white'>Attunement Rank of IV</span>, you're done and can head to the portal ignoring all monsters. | |||
*Don't bother with <span class='white'>unnecessary fights</span>. There are enough Attunement points to claim by tapping and clearing Beacons and taking out Afflicted mobs only. They add time AND Attunement points. | |||
*Focus on skills and equipment that inflict an area of effect and if possible anything that [[Pulls In]] the crowd to concentrate as many monsters in one tight spot that you can all offload onto. | |||
