Options:
- I actually cleared “easily” using the Wave of Light combo (Pinto, Kyoshiro’s Blade)! I figured people might not like that suggestion – if you get desperate though, it’s an option.
- Envious Blade isn’t really needed, so is Fleshrake – it just gives some peace of mind that your DS may be powerful enough to one-shot even without the 6 piece buff.
- That being said, Burst of Wrath in the cube really really helps. You can wield the Axe and cube In-geom if you like. (In-geom being mandatory).
- NEMESIS IS A MUST
- Belt can be anything (Vigilante, Saffron, Witching Hour…)

How to Beat & Master Raiment Set Dungeon
This all depends on how experienced you are with Raiment – I’m not too hot at it so it took a fair amount of tries. Completing the objectives are easy – mastering, on the other hand…
Map & Pathing
First of all, familiarize yourself with the map. Look above, it shows a sample path. There’s only one “option” when clearing the dungeon, the main path/method is quite set.
- Run past and clear the Great Bend, clearing all enemies in the main path (at least)
- Race to the Golden Chest (GC).
- Backtrack and kill as many guys as you can in the Maze, then cross your fingers.
- The Junkyard is your only crossroads…
- Completely clearing it is nice, but you may not make it to the GC.
- Loosely clearing it leaves you at the mercy to bonus kills off Nemesis.
Tips & Explanations
Objective 1: Reach the Golden chest at the end of the dungeon
Objective 2: Do not get hit by a single Succubus Projectile
The Golden Chest – is quite easy given the map advice above… Don’t worry about backtracking, you’ll have to do it anyway!
Succubus sucks – well, you can dodge ’em about half the time. Agility and Guardian’s Path give us some room for error. This mechanic is a little stupid, but we have a plan for it!
WHY NEMESIS? Well, there are a ton of pylons here, but is why exactly are we using it?
- In-geom: There are no naturally spawning elites in this map!
- Kill Count: Extra mobs actually count toward the mastery.
As you can see for the simple reasons above, In-geom and Nemesis are definite keepers in the build! It doesn’t make this easy, though.
Junkyard – what to do!? COMPLETELY clearing the junkyard translates into some precious lost seconds. Personally, I just try to grab the pylons there and go. Hopefully, the bonus kills from Nemesis make up for it.
Only very very experienced players can get through this “fairly” without the Nemesis cheese. Again, I only use raiment for Monk Bounty Speeds, and this…
Dashing Strike-Radiance is a MUST. You might think Falling Star is better but we take it primarily for the rune ELEMENT. As we’re using Cindercoat – the Spirit cost is reduced.
The needed Stats: As seen in the options above, there’s countless ways to adjust this to your needs. One thing set in stone is you need a bunch of Resource Cost Reduction (RCR) and to a lesser extent, Cooldown Reduction (CDR).
Given the statement above, crafting some yellow rings and an amulet with those stats is a massive help, at the loss of DPS.
Well, all of that being said, you probably won’t clear this on your first try – but that’s ok! A little practice goes a long way… Good luck out there!

Thanks for this, was helpful. I hadn’t thought of using Burst of Wrath.
My modifications:
-Gem: Molten W. Gizzard
-Belt: Krelm’s
-Cube: Pride’s Fall
The Gizzard shields you, thereby ensuring very high uptime on Krelm’s and Pride’s Fall. I used RoRG to equip the cindercoat. (Gizzard and Krelm’s have served me well on a number of these dungeons for the same reason)
Other ring was Band of Rue chambers for bonus spirit regen.
Yep! All great suggestions here.
