I know many of you are missing these final achievements, especially those who have left the game and come back years later to find out that they have lost their 100% completion because of these maps.

These maps are hard. It might take you a few tries even with end game stats. If you desire the 100% achievement and don't mind a challenge, continue reading.

Frame rate Issues

When the bosses spawn on these maps, you may experience frame rate issues with the game because of the sheer number of enemies. This will lower your hero DPS as well as the damage output on your towers. As far as I know the only way to resolve this is to lower your quality settings. But beware, if your quality settings are low, you may not be able to see the dragon boss on CR3! So set it back to medium or higher for that map.

Although it is not recommended, It is possible to clear these maps with 2k builders. If some of your builders are below the stat recommendation, focus the stats either on your monk so he reaches 3k or on your summoner.



*For EV, use an ember sceptre staff for maximum proton beam damage.

If you are having problems with these maps, it is most likely you need a better DPS hero than better builders. You should give her the best weapons and armor.

Read this guide for acquiring a good staff:

If you can complete Embermount Volcano, the ember sceptre staff will be good for:

• Proton Beam when equipped on an EV for CR1 Spider Queen
  
• Destroying tentacles on the Kraken in CR3

You can double your DPS by perfectly charging your shots instead of full charging or rapid fire. You can practice this on a dummy or use this AHK tool[gist.github.com] to help you.

You can build two stacks of 4 Lightning Towers, one on a shard close to the forge, the other close to where the boss spawns. Ogres will not be able to damage them if they are placed correctly.

More on tower stacking here, or use this AHK tool [forums.dungeondefenders.com]to help you,

The run will be roughly the same for 2k or higher stats. If you cannot upgrade everything, focus on your auras and minions.

Skip to 0:22:35 for the boss fight.

The Genie King is immune to generic damage. Damage him with elemental weapons or pets. For solo, we recommend using an elemental staff like the bloodshot with a cat.

During boss, special djinns would spawn marked in white on the mini map. They instantly gold enemies. Golden copters and djinns could cut through your defenses like butter. So after the genie goes back to his lamp, run into the nearest portal and roll 3 swords for 3-4 times until the white djins are gone.



**

After all the gold enemies and white djinns are gone, listen to the music to find the next lamp location. Roll 3 potions to heal your defenses or roll 3 diamonds to buff yourself. Here are all his spawn locations.

When the boss comes out, jump to higher ground with the help of terrain to avoid warriors while you are shooting the boss.

Before building, walk to the northern tip of the map where you can activate a button by pressing E. This enables us to fight the great old one when we beat the map. If you do not get the same activation message below, check to see the requirements.


*

You need to meet these requirements to activate the portal after you beat CR3:

• Be the host
  
• Completed all of the prior Lost Quests maps
  
• Pressed the button and got the correct activation message
  
• Enter the portal after you have beaten CR3

Use your jester's move tower ability to move your gas trap and your proximity trap closer to the crystal in the center of the map. Unequip your items on her so you have 0 tower range to move them closer. Re-equip your items after you have moved your traps.

Build Demonstration

A dragon will appear when the fight starts and demons will be summoned occasionally.
While you are shooting the dragon, check your mini map to see where those demons have spawned.
Once a demon has reached your ogres, jump down and kill her.
Whenever you finish killing a demon, roll 3 potions on the way you walk back to the center crystal.
If you are interrupted by fireballs, wait until it stops and then roll.
Once you are back up, continue fighting the dragon until you notice another demon.
When the dragon is half beaten to death, a kraken will spawn and you will not be able to injure the dragon.

Use an ember sceptre to damage her tentacles and once she starts losing health injure her with your main dps weapon (or the sceptre if you wish). Maintain distance and stay within auras. Whenever she regrows her tentacles jump down and roll 3 potions. Afterwards get her attention as soon as possible as she will destroy your ogres otherwise.

Easiest part. After the kraken is dead roll 3 potions once more and shoot the dragon until she is dead.

Artificial bosses will spawn on the final wave, including the artificial genie king. Therefore, you will need to have an elemental pet (seahorse, crystalline dragon) and ideally a mischief maker that deals ranged damage. You can acquire an ultimate crystalline dragon from CR3 insane survival and an ultimate mischief maker from Polybius insane.

Split screen with your jester as main. Activate hero boost on your monk as the second character and walk up to the bosses. When only the dragon is left, upgrade everything with your jester.
