The Shadow Reef
Introduction
This is a hybrid guide which assumes a strong underlying knowledge of all mechanics and information presented in #ED3 Basic Guide.
General Notes
⬥ 
undead slayer task works on many of the mob but is not required or needed for GM timer.
⬥ This can be done on 
or 
. will be better for the mob clearing.
⬥ It's recommended to set your anti-spam delay for your 
to 1 via the Lectern at Anachronia.
⬥ You can Surge or Bladed Dive 
a tick before each gate unlocks to save a tick on every entry.
⬥ 
Luck of the Dwarves will not improve unique drop rates.
⬥ 4TAA usage is highly encouraged as the AoE hitbox of barrage spells 
helps greatly with mob clears.
⬥ This guide will be focused around cycling 
and 
.
⬥ The Crassian Leviathan, Taraket the Necromancer and Kranon, the Ambassador rotations are examples. Improvisation is required to work around crit rng, wand resets, and phase timings.
Presets and Relics
The Crassian Leviathan
The Crassian Leviathan has good defence so 
early in sun rotation if not on
⬥ Aim to 
right away either directly in front of the Leviathan's nose or on the same tile you throw 
to (directly east of the Leviathan's head). Both spots allow for you to safely hit the boss in while avoiding the Head Sweep special.

Notes:
⬥ Time your channelled abilities ( 
) between head sweeps to avoid having to cut them short to move for head sweeps.
• Use non-channelled abilities when you are walking to dodge sweeps ( )
• Semi-random sweep timings makes it such that you may need to improvise your rotations to a great extent.
• Try to early and end with high adren for the next section of the dungeon.
Taraket the Necromancer
Taraket, Corpses and Skeletons are classified as Undead for 
, 
and 
purposes. Generally you ignore the Corpse Carrier and the Bloated Monstrosity.
Strats
⬥ Melee → Mage → Melee
• Time gated by ezk to a 1:02. Consistently 1:02-1:10
• Zerked on last phase can be spicy.
• Dont need undead for 2nd zerk
⬥ Melee → Mage → Mage
• No cooldown issues so potential for faster kills.
• Magic on last phase so less K.O. potential.

Kranon, the Ambassador
The boss primarily attacks with

swipe if the player is in melee distance.

Notes:
⬥ Slightly less damage
⬥ Don't need to bring / 
Mobs
⬥ See magic camp guide [here] for other ideas for clearing the dungeon.
⬥ Rotations below are more of suggestions to give an idea of AoE opportunities and ability prioritisation at different parts of the dungeon. If you find yourself needing more abilities to clear mobs due factors such as the lack of adren or unlucky hits it is expected
• Target cycling and using basics is a good way to check and finish off leftover mobs as sometimes their bodies take awhile to disappear after dying.
