Archaion
"The First came before us. This one came after. Our Last."
Requires AAAParticles
Welcome to Archaion - a mod that tells the story of the mysterious ancients' last stand against an unknown threat and their eventual downfall. Discover the remnants that were left behind after the greatest crisis in the history of this world.
The Ancient Keep
The final fort of the Ancients to fight off the disaster - a complex multi-room structure called the Ancient Keep that operates similarly to a Trial Chamber.
Throughout your journey within this keep, you are bound to encounter harsh challenges and great adversities. You will also be able to unlock and loot various treasures and new items!
The Deepslate Trials
The Ancient Keep holds a challenge where you must fight multitudes of new custom enemies, each with a quirk of their own.
Upon clearing enough of them, you can obtain the Echo Key, used to open the Deepslate Vault - where you can obtain powerful items such as food, materials, and enchantments.
The Last of Deepslate
When obtaining enough Echo Charges from the vaults, you can wake up the slumbering machine hidden inside the Keep - a Last of Deepslate.
Fight the mech upon waking it up, with multiple complex systems backing its every move. Slay it to obtain a powerful template used to make a very strong weapon!
Bossfight Guide
Locating the Ancient Keep
- You can search for the Ancient Keep by using the Keep Map found in Ancient City chests.
Bossfight Recommendations
- Fully Enchanted Diamond Gear (Preferably with Protection IV; prepare for armor durability breaking).
- Breeze Charge (Heavily recommended for Phase II and above).
- Shield (Enchant with Unbreaking or prepare backups).
- Bow / Any Other Ranged Weapon.
Bossfight Notes
- The boss is very much stronger in Hard difficulty compared to Medium.
- Be very careful when using the Mace. It has a counterattack that deals insane damage when timed poorly.
- You will die multiple times!
