Gnome Cave Tips

Introduction
Rainbow Saga's second hero instance in Troonmill is The Gnome's Cave. This is comprised of three maps where you may find the pet Gnome Captain drop.

Map 1
Making your way through the first area is fairly simple, with no traps or damage areas to worry about. Let a Holy Knight draw out enemies, kill them, and move on.

Map 2
This area is more involved than the first. Beneath the entrance, you'll have to deal with a small boss, the Gnome fighter, who leads a number of minions. They don't have any special skills, so simply kill them and move on.

With that out of the way, you'll have to deal with some traps. After you climb down to the middle floor, you'll see three platforms where venom is dripping from above. If it drips on you, you'll take a large amount of damage and suffer from the repelling effect.

Pay close attention to the way the venom drips and safely make your way over the platforms.

There is also a venom pool to avoid – if you fall into it, you'll have to deal with continuous poison damage. Do your best to ensure you don't fall in, kill the enemies on the middle platform, and move on.

Map 3
The Gnome's Cave is home to the Ancient Gnome boss, who can be challenging because of its ability to summon monsters and trap players.

The monsters it summons pose a threat to players, so Holy Knights should use Taunt to draw their attacks away from other classes.

More problematic are the Entangling Roots. The Ancient Gnome will use this skill from time to time, trapping a random teammate for five seconds. When this happens, players should stop attacking, because all damage done during this period will be inflicted upon the teammate who has been trapped.
