Apollyon - Southwest Tower

Enter Apollyon Southwest Tower by using Dimensional Portal at Crag Dem.  Find and kill Aw'euvhi to obtain Red Card than head for D-6/E-6 of Al'Taieu.  There are a total of 4 floors to climb.  The first three floors have a Time Chest, HP/MP Chest, and Item Chest.  You can only open one chest on the first two floors when you find them.  A random mob on each floor will open the Vortex. Basic strategy - A group of 10-12 people can clear this area but you'll need to get at least 2 Time Chests to make it easier. If more than 12 people than you can get by needing to open 1 Time Chest. The 4 floors themselves aren't too hard at all. Keep in mind that this area you can only open 1 chest on the first and second floor. Don't bother with opening any HP/MP Chests. Time Chests are blue chests while Item Chests are chest that have an orange/brown stripes. HP/MP Chest have gray stripes. Floor 1: Formors can link and can aggro to low HP. Best way is to make camp near starting point and have the puller pull one formor at a time. Hopefully you can do this without linking them. At best if they gonna link keep the linkage to just 2 fomors and maintain sleep. It's really simple, just keep killing fomors till the Vortex open up and the three chest pops out. One formor will randomly open the vortex while another formor will randomly drop all 3 chests. The chests will drop near the Vortex so decide on whether to open Item or Timer Chest. Best to get a Timer Chest if you are 12 or less in an alliance. Floor 2: Trees and nothing but Trees. Just move around and pull one tree at a time. One tree will randomly open the Vortex. If you want the chests to pop than you'll need to kill all the trees on this floor. Best to get a Timer Chest if you are 12 or less in an alliance. Floor 3: This floor is good for opening all three chests since unlike the first two floors, it's not restricted to allowing you to only open 1 chest. You really can't tell which chests are real and which ones are mimic. The best strategy is simply just clear the entire floor of mobs and get all the chests. One of the mimics will randomly open the Vortex. Floor 4: Lots of elementals here and you probably don't have time to fight them all. There's a trick to just finding the right elemental group and popping the Item Chest. The Elementals are group together and link together base on elements. So if you pull a fire element than all three fire elements will come at you. Just maintain sleepga on them and you'll be fine. Okay to make the Item Chest pop right away pull the Elemental group that correspond to the in-game element day. So if it happens to be Watersday than pull and kill the Water Elemental groups to pop the Item Chest. Once you open the Item Chest, you've cleared the area.
