Sealed Shrine Guide

Welcome to the Sealed Shrine guide for GemstoneRO. This guide will help you understand how to access and complete the Sealed Shrine instance, where you must reseal the powerful Baphomet. This instance requires teamwork and careful strategy to succeed.

The Sealed Shrine is an instance dungeon where players work together to prevent the resurrection of the demon Baphomet. It offers challenging battles and valuable rewards for those who succeed.

Before entering the Sealed Shrine, you must meet the following conditions:

• You must be in a party of at least 2 players.
• Your base level must be 75 or higher.
• Only the party leader can initiate the instance.
• There is a 12-hour cooldown between instances.

1. Talk to Friar Patrick The entrance to the Sealed Shrine is located at the St. Capitolina Monastery (coordinates: monk_test 309, 146). Speak to Friar Patrick to begin the instance.

1. He will explain the situation and ask if you're brave enough to help reseal Baphomet.

2. Instance Creation Only the party leader can create the instance by speaking to Friar Patrick. If all party members meet the requirements, the instance will be created, and you will be teleported inside.

Once inside the Sealed Shrine, your party will face a series of challenges, including:

• Baphomet's Apostles: Powerful monsters that guard the shrine.
• Seals and Curses: You must break seals and avoid curses to progress through the dungeon.
• Baphomet: The final boss. Defeating him requires strategy and coordination.

- Cooldown System:

Once you have completed or attempted the Sealed Shrine, you must wait **12 hours** before you can re-enter.

- Party-based Entry:

Only the party leader can initiate the instance, and all party members must meet the requirements to participate.

1. Breaking the Seals Throughout the shrine, you will encounter Magical Seals that need to be broken to weaken Baphomet. Make sure you collect Essence of Fire from the torches to purify the seals.

2. Avoiding Curses Players will be affected by Baphomet's curse, which disables certain skills (like Safety Wall and Assumptio). Plan your strategies accordingly and avoid relying on these skills.

3. Teamwork This instance is challenging and requires good teamwork. Coordinate with your party to clear monsters, collect the necessary items, and manage the seals to weaken Baphomet.

4. Final Boss Fight Baphomet is a powerful boss who will summon apostles and use devastating skills. Be prepared for a tough battle, and use the unsealed altars to reduce his power.

Completing the Sealed Shrine rewards players with:

• High-level equipment
• Rare materials
• Special quest items
• Experience points

The Sealed Shrine is one of the more challenging dungeons in GemstoneRO, offering rich rewards for those brave enough to face Baphomet. Make sure your party is well-prepared, and good luck with sealing away the demon once more!
