PandoraLore / DoomGauntlet

Introduction

The Dungeon Doom in Malas is one of the largest Dungeons in the game. While there are also several things to do
in the Dungeon itself, the main reason going there is doing the "Gauntlet".
This is a separate part of the Dungeon with its own Monsters and Mechanics:
There you can obtain some of the most viable Artifacts in the game: Pandora Doom and Pandorian War items.

Doom and the Gauntlet are both subject to the Trammel Ruleset. There is no nonconsensual PvP.

Doom Location

The Dungeon Doom is located in Malas.
The coordinates (with [where and UO Steam) are: 2357, 1268
The sextant coordinates are: 31° 17' N, 72° 41' E

Location of the Gauntlet

The Gauntlet is part of the Dungeon Doom (that's why you call the Gauntlet also "Doom Gauntlet").
It is second level of the Dungeon.

The Dungeon Doom: Level One

While the main reason entering Doom is getting the Gold Skull to enter the Gauntlet, there are also several
things to do in Doom Level One: Stealables!

The Stealables

The Inquisitor's Resolution

These are Platemail Gloves with Faster Cast Recovery 3. You can steal these by completing the Doom Lever Puzzle to
get to the hidden room near the exit. There you can find the Stealable.

Doom Lever Puzzle
You need a total of 5 people to do this puzzle. See here (external link): http://www.uoguide.com/Doom_lever_puzzle

The Lamp Post

You find this Stealable in the same hidden room. Finish the Doom Lever Puzzle to be able to enter!

Zyronic Claw

This is an Executioner's Axe with high Mana Leech. You can find it in the north central room with the Arcane Circle.

Daemon Bones

Daemon Bones are the main reason to walk through Level One and kill the Monsters spawning here. You need these to finish
a Quest to be able to enter the Gauntlet. You need 1000 Daemon Bones. This will go very quickly, since each Monster you kill will
have a couple of them in its corpse!
To read more about the Quest see below!


The Summoning (Quest to enter the Gauntlet)

You have to complete this Quest to get a Gold Skull. This is the key to enter the Gauntlet.

Victoria the Sorceress

Find Victoria and open her context menu with a mouse-click. Pick this option: "Ask about Chyloth".

This will start the Quest.

Daemon Bones

Victoria needs 1000 Daemon Bones to be able to summon the "Devourer", a Bone Daemon. Hand her the Bones you have
collected or collect them now and go back to her.

The Bone Daemon

The Bone Daemon will spawn in the stone circle south-east from Victoria's location. The Devourer has very high Poison, Cold
and Physical Resists. It might take some time to kill it.

Upon its death you will receive a message that a Gold Skull is in its corpse. Open the corpse, get the Gold Skull. You have
finished this Quest and are now able to enter the Gauntlet!


Doom Gauntlet

The Gauntlet is the place where you can obtain Pandora Doom and Pandorian War Artifacts. Before entering the Gauntlet check your
equipment, see if you need repairs and have everything you need to repair your stuff while running the Gauntlet. You might also consider
going as a party if you are relatively new and unexperienced.
Make sure you have enough Bandages with you!
Also you have to realize that running the Gauntlet might take some time. The Artifacts are rare, so it can take time until you get your first drops.

Enter the Gauntlet

Lake Mortis

The Gauntlet is the area across Lake Mortis. In order to enter you have to summon Chyloth the Ferryman. You find the lake at the southern end of Doom.
There you will find a bell. Double-click it and Chyloth will appear.

If you want to cross over and enter the Gauntlet in a party, you only need one Gold Skull for all party members. Just one player has to give it
to Chyloth and everyone can cross. But make sure you are all in a party!

The Gold Skull

After Chyloth appeared he wants the Gold Skull. Take the item with your mouse and drag it on the NPC to hand it to him. If this takes too long
he will summon a Skeletal Dragon and then disappear. You have to kill the summoned Dragon before you can ring the bell again.
If Chyloth doesn't spawn then there must be a Skeletal Dragon in the area and you have to kill it first!
Once you gave the Gold Skull to Chyloth a gump will appear and ask for confirmation: click OK!
You will be on the ferry now. Move to the teleporter there to get to the other side, then walk down to the corridor - welcome in the Gauntlet!

Areas in the Gauntlet

Stealables

Blade of the Righteous
This Stealable is a Longsword. It spawns in the Healer's room. You can only enter it as a Ghost, after you died!

Ruined Painting
This Stealable is in the room that comes right after the AFK Zone. This Stealable is one of the most viable items in the game!

AFK Zone

The AFK Zone is a safe place where you can go AFK and rest a bit. In fact you have to go there as only there you are allowed to be AFK.
There you also find the NPC to turn in Artifacts (see below).

Healer's Room

In this room you can be resurrected after you died. You can only enter this room as a Ghost (dead). There is also a Stealable (see above).

Center Area

In the Center Area the Dark Father will spawn (see below).

Boss Rooms

There are five Boss Rooms all leading to the Center Area via corridors. There the Doom Bosses will spawn (see below).


Running the Gauntlet

In order to get Pandora Doom or Pandorian War Artifacts you have to "run the Gauntlet". This means you have to kill all the five Bosses in
their seperate rooms (Boss Rooms) and then the Dark Father in the Center Area. There is no specific order where to start - you simply kill the
first Boss that is spawned and from there go clockwise, then you kill the Dark Father in the Center Area. (If the Dark Father is spawned after
you entered the Gauntlet, then you kill him first before you start with the first Boss in the first room and so on.)

Artifacts

Pandora Doom and Pandorian War Artifacts will drop into your backpack after a Boss or a Dark Father died. There is always only a chance an Artifact
will drop. This means running the Gauntlet can take time!
See below for more detailed infos.

Some Obstacles

It is possible that a Frost Orc and a Giant Turkey (see Pandora Coin Mobs) spawn in or near the Center Area. Try to separate them from each other and
a possible Dark Father. Of course these two can't drop Artifacts, just Pcoins and the Frost Orc a potential Deed to a Snowglobe.
In Room 5 a Memnoch can spawn (drops PCoins).

How to proceed

In order to get an Artifact drop you have to kill the Doom Bosses and the Dark Father. Each Boss spawns in a separate Room, the Dark Father spawns in
the Center Area. You kill a Boss, then move on to the next Room and so forth until the Dark Father spawns. Then you start over.

Mechanics

The mechanics of running the Gauntlet are basically always the same:

Enter the Gauntlet, go to the Center Area. If a Dark Father is already spawned, kill it first. If it's dead, go to Room 1. It is EAST of the Center Area. If
no Dark Father is spawned, check each Room if a Boss is spawned. The first Room where a Boss is spawned is where you begin!

After killing a Boss go to the next Room clockwise and so on.

There is a total of five Rooms and a total of five Bosses (one in each Room).

After all Bosses are dead, a Dark Father will spawn in the Center Area. After you killed it, go back to the first Room in the EAST and start over, again clockwise.

You continue as long as you want, your time allows or until you get an Artifact. Of course you can also continue then to get more Artifacts!

Doors

Each Room has a door. If the door is grey, then it is empty and no Boss is spawned. You then have to check another Room.

A red door means a Boss is spawned in the Room. You enter a Room by stepping on the teleporter next to the door.

You cannot leave a room until a Boss is dead!

Death

If you die and there is no player to resurrect you, go into the Healer's Room as a Ghost to get resurrected.

More than one Boss per Room

If there are more than 4 Players in the Gauntlet Area then there will spawn more than one Boss per Room! This also goes for the Dark Father.


The Doom Bosses

Each Doom Boss spawns in his own Room (see above). You have to kill the Boss to be able to leave the Room, get a chance of an Artifact drop and
being able to enter the next Room or go to the Center Area to kill the Dark Father after all Bosses are dead.

This section will apply a number as an indicator of "Difficulty" to each Boss. A lower number means he is easier to kill and handle than a Boss with a higher number:
1 = easy
2 = average
3 = hard
(This does not mean that an easy Boss is really "easy", this is just in comparison to each other. Newer Players or Players with less experience and
not maxed out gear might have problems killing the Bosses and the Dark Father. You might want to team up!)

Darknight Creeper (Room 1)

Difficulty: 2
Slayer Vulnerability: Undead
Combat: Stamina Drain, Casting

Fleshrenderer (Room 2)

Difficulty: 3
Slayer Vulnerability: None
Combat: very fast, Dismount, Paralyze

Impaler (Room 3)

Difficulty: 1
Slayer Vulnerability: Demon
Combat: Reveal, Teleport

Shadow Knight (Room 4)

Difficulty: 2
Slayer Vulnerability: Undead
Combat: Poison Immunity, Stun, Hiding (Track and Reveal him!)

Abyssmal Horror (Room 5)

Difficulty: 1-2
Slayer Vulnerability: Demon
Combat: Flamestrike, Mortal Strike, easy to kill but can cause immense Damage to Newer Players


The Dark Father (Center Area)

The Dark Father is the "final Boss" in the Gauntlet and spawns in the Center Area of the Gauntlet. To kill him, drag him into one
of the other corridors leading to the Boss Rooms or to one of the Walls as he will spawn Minions to assist him. By getting the Dark Father
into a closed area you can reduce the amount of spawned Minions.
Also try to stand "in each other" cause of the Unholy Bones (see below). Use a Bone Cutter! After killing the Dark Father you can proceed back to Room 1 (East) and continue with the Doom Bosses and so forth!

If you drag the Dark Father to the "Entrance Wall" of the Gauntlet it will disappear and respawn somewhere in the Gauntlet.

Abilities

The Dark Father (Demon Slayer) is able to cast Necromancy Spells, incuding Blood Oath. If he does cast this Spell, move away from him, tab out of War/Peace Mode and cast "Remove Curse" or
use an Enchanted Apple or it might kill you.
He also uses the Whirlwind Ability.

Unholy Bones

The Dark Father will throw "Unholy Bones" at you, all other Players and Pets.

These bones will "come to life" and transform into undead creatures that will also attack you. There will be more and more which can turn a fight against
the Dark Father into a problem. If this happens use Whirlwind Weapons and Wildfire to kill his Minions.

You can reduce the number of Minions by using a Bone Cutter:

On UO Steam set up a Bone Cutter (any bladed weapon, for example a Dagger or an Axe) to cut bones automatically!


Artifacts

You find Links to all Artifacts on the top of this Guide.
Pandora Doom and Pandorian War Artifacts are the most viable items in the game. You get them by killing the Doom Bosses and the Dark Father.

Artifact Drops

Artifacts will drop into your pack after a Doom Boss or the Dark Father died. You will also receive a short text message if this happens. Since
all these Artifacts are rare, these drops don't happen very often.
Prepare to do several rounds in the Gauntlet until you get an Artifact - this can be 6 rounds, 8 rounds or 10 and more!

Mechanics

Chances

Each Character has hidden Doom Points. These Doom Points raise with each Boss and Dark Father you killed (the Dark Father gives more points). The amount
of Luck (imbuable property) you have also has an influence on the chances of an Artifact drop.
Also you have to deal a minimum damage on a Boss and Dark Father to "get the right" to receive a possible drop into your backpack.

Because of this System it really depends on your Luck property and the time you spend in the Gauntlet, meaning the amount of Bosses and Dark Fathers
you kill. Therefore this can take its time!

Artifact Exchanger

If you are unhappy with an Artifact you can go to the AFK Zone and there turn it in at an NPC. You will receive a hidden boost on your Doom Points, the next
Artifact can drop faster.

Doom Points

As described each Boss and Dark Father you kill will give you a hidden amount of Doom Points to raise your chances of an Artifact Drop.

These Doom Points will reset once you received an Artifact. They will not reset in any other way! This means you can leave the Gauntlet with your current
amount of hidden Doom Points. If you go back, you will continue with this amount.


Infested Doom

To get Infested Doom Artifacts you have to infest every single Doom Boss and the Dark Father before you kill them. You need a lot of Infested Injectors.
All other mechanics stay the same!
