Tips

  • Zombie Lupins are Lv41 and weak to holy. Clerics and Holy Arrow users clear them fastest.
  • Monkey Swamp III has the most spawns (31). Tree Dungeon, Monkey Forest I and II (26 each) and Monkey Forest II (25) come next.
  • It's 570 kills in all, so run it alongside your normal Zombie Lupin training.
  • Dolls are tradeable and extras carry over to the next round. Accept each round before you farm its kills.
  • The round 4 gloves scroll is the most valuable single reward.

Still being confirmed

  • Nobody has confirmed whether Zombie Lupins killed before you accept a round count toward it. Accept first to be safe.
