Domhainne Tunnels dungeon guide

The Domhainne Tunnels dungeon can be found in the Strand area of Scosglen, slightly Northeast of Cerrigar. If you have the Corbach waypoint unlocked, you can use it to travel there fast. The Corbach waypoint is the closest waypoint available, and once you’re at it, head due West.

Once you enter the dungeon, you’ll be immediately tasked with freeing six prisoners. These prisoners are scattered throughout the dungeons, and there are Elite Goatmen enemies everywhere. That’s what makes this dungeon so perfect for levelling. You can watch your minimap to make sure you don’t miss any of the prisoners while you’re running around.

✓ Use AoE Attacks

The best types of attacks for this dungeons are AoE attacks, or area of effect. The tunnels are pretty wide, and there are tons of open spaces. This makes taking out several enemies at once the best options for dealing with them.

Once you’ve freed all prisoners (or laid to rest the ones who perished), you’ll need to travel to the Dark Descent. Along the way, tons of enemies will spawn, and you’ll need to defeat them, including several more Elites. Your next task will be to return the Stone Carving to the Pedastal. The Pedastal is right in front of the boss arena, but you will need to do some running around to get the Stone Carving. The Stone Carving will be marked on the minimap, so keep your eyes peeled for it.

Once you’ve got the Stone Carving returned to the Pedastal, you’ll be able to enter the boss room. This is where you’ll face the Khazra Abomination. This boss drops puddles on the floor that will damage you, and you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled for them. The Khazra Abomination also likes to stick close to you, so if you are strong with melee attacks, this is a great boss to use them on. For players who are used to keeping their distance, you’ll need to move around a lot to avoid the boss. The Khazra Abomination won’t be too difficult to beat, so long as you watch out for the poison puddle AoE attacks. If you think it may cause trouble, try to up your poison resistance using gems or potions.

For your hard work in the tunnels, you’ll unlock the Legendary Aspect of Efficiency in your Codex of Power, along with 40 Renown. The Aspect of Efficiency is only for the Sorcerer class. This aspect reduces the Mana cost of your Core or Mastery skill after using a Basic skill by [15-25]%. The best reward, however, is the incredible amount of XP you’re able to farm in the dungeon for quick levelling.
