Defense Battle — Ragnarok Online

Nordfeld (New Region)

Defense Battle

Apagrel

Apagrel, the dwarf who betrayed the Seven, is marching on Nordfeld with his army. Stand with the Valkyrie Sharvinets at the south-east gate and hold the line in the Nordfeld Defense Battle — a memorial dungeon that is part of the main story and can be repeated every day afterwards.

  • Story step 26
  • Solo or party
  • 30 minutes
  • Repeatable once a day

How to enter

  1. Reach step 26 of the main story (or finish the story to repeat it).
  2. Talk to Valkyrie Sharvinets at the south-east gate of Nordfeld (246, 61) and choose To the gate!
  3. Not in a party? You go in alone. In a party? The party leader opens it first, then every member talks to Sharvinets to join.
Every party member must have reached step 26 of the story (or finished it) — Sharvinets only lets those players through. After the story, each player can collect the repeat reward once a day.

The battle

Inside, talk to Sharvinets when you are ready. The dwarves charge through the gate in waves — each wave starts when the last one is defeated.

WaveEnemies
16 Boulder Dwarf Hammer, 4 Boulder Dwarf Pick
26 Boulder Dwarf Cannon, 4 Pick, 2 Hammer
3Boulder Dwarf Commander (mini-boss, Lv 28) + 3 Hammer + 3 Cannon
BossApagrel (Lv 32, MVP) — uses Hammerfall (stun), Magnum Break and Stone Skin, and calls more dwarves to help him
Apagrel's Hammerfall can stun the whole group. Spread out, and deal with the dwarves he summons before they overwhelm your healer. If things go wrong, the Nordfeld Soldier behind you lets you fall back to the city.

Rewards

When Apagrel falls, every player talks to Sharvinets for their own reward:
