2. 🗺️ How to Take the 'King' Route: Utilizing the Go Board Event
- ✅ You can take the route in the Temporal Space internal event.
- ✅ After clearing the first hidden boss, a Go board event is added to the Mystery Node when entering the Secret Realm.
- ✅ The Go board event can be opened if you have 5 or more 4-second operators.
- ⚠️ The Go board relic inflicts a curse of -50% initial SP when deploying allied operators, so it's best to clear as many Secret Realm battles as possible before acquiring it.
- ✅ After acquiring the Go board, select the third option, 'The Go board sells fire, the letters shine,' in the Guide Node event to enter the combat map.
- ⚠️ After clearing the combat map and acquiring the route confirmation relic, you will take continuous damage over time for 60 seconds, so be sure to bring a healer.

3. ⚔️ Combat Map Strategy Tips for the Go Board Event
- ⚠️ Be careful, as deploying operators within the cross-shaped range of the black stones will cause them to be infinitely stunned.
- ✅ If you have an Alternate Sigurei, using the third skill will make clearing the map easier.
- ✅ Since more than half of the map is occupied by black stones, limiting deployment locations, it's best to quickly deal with the mobs in the upper right and deploy the Rhodian.
- ✅ Since certain two spots on the map do not take damage from enemies, it's best to deploy Vanguards and DPS operators early to clear them quickly.
- ✅ The 6th floor emergency battle can be more difficult than the hidden boss, so I personally don't recommend it.

4. 🛡️ Key Mechanics and Preparations for the 'King' Boss Fight
- ⚠️ Only 4-second DPS operators can participate in the second hidden boss battle.
- ✅ You must prepare in advance by selecting key operators from the Guide Node or through the Candle Ritual from the beginning.
- ✅ The Guide Node only appears once per floor, and if you take the second hidden route, you must battle at the Guide Node, so consider the timing of using save points.
- ⚠️ On the 6th floor map, the Guide Node is guaranteed to appear after the DLC, but currently on the Korean server, its appearance depends on luck.

5. ⚔️ 'King' Boss Fight Battle Tips and Precautions
- ✅ The second hidden boss is much easier than the first hidden boss.
- ⚠️ When deploying operators or summonables, black stones will randomly fall in a cross-shaped range, so be careful not to get trapped by the black stones.
- ✅ If you cut off the mobs in the upper right as quickly as possible and build a formation in the rear, the boss battle will become easier.
- ✅ It's best to deploy Vanguards and healers first to earn early cost.

6. ⭐ Recommended Operators and How to Use Them for the 'King' Boss Fight
- ✅ Alternate Liskarm 2nd skill: Effective for clearing Go stones over a wide area.
- ✅ Auxiliary Healer Saria 2nd skill: Excellent healing range and SP battery effect in a continuous damage over time environment.
- ✅ Main Healer: Haruka is the best, but since it is not currently available on the Korean server, you can use Quercus, Lumen, Purestream, etc.
- ✅ Ines: Used as a stealth removal agent.
- ✅ Top/Bottom Line Defense: Use Whisperain, Scene, Logos, etc.

7. ✨ Recommended Relics to Counter the 'King' Boss Fight
- ✅ Defender Textbook (SP recovery when attacked): Good to use with Mu Feng.
- ✅ Full Bloom: A very powerful relic, making the clear very easy when acquired.
If you build the early line well, it is much easier than Hidden 1, so it is important to deploy Vanguards and Medics well to secure cost.
