http://i320.photobucket.com/albums/nn350/downbook/DiasporaSuginamiMap.jpg

• Once you are in Diaspora you are randomly spawned within one of the yellow circles surrounded by a barrier. Once the barrier are down you have 60 minutes (1 hour) to finish off the main boss of the area whom are spawned within the purple square when the conditions are met.

• To meet the conditions, work with the team and start killing the demons around the towers labeled A through E around the map, those demons(The Succubus and Incubus) will drop Petra Gynaik and Petra Antras when item mixed together, they will form Petra Phos

• Once you have the Petra Phos, work together with the team to time the suppression of the towers together in order to reach the next step
  • Warning: Towers will become unsuppressed after 60 seconds(?)
  • 5 Petra Phos for 5 Towers within 60 seconds (1 minute)

• Once all towers are suppressed Succubus mini-bosses will spawn in each tower, once you kill them a cut scene will play (cannot skip) and 5 fake Astaroth boss will spawn at each tower, with the real one spawned within the purple square.

• To defeat the real boss the 5 fakes must be taken out in order for the real boss's barrier to be down temporary(Note: once the fake bosses re-spawn the barrier is back up). The fake bosses must be taken out through demons.
  • Warning: Once the real boss spawns he will periodically cast down lightning bolts, you will know it when the screen is turning dark, to prevent getting hit use the guard skill after the screen is turning dark

Quick walk-through

Time limit: 60 minutes (1 hour)

• Head to Suginami (with all your army men) and talk to Gomory.
• Get Indulgence of Virtue and open Diaspora (Suginami) run.
• Take a deep breath and get yourself together. As the barrier went down, the run will start.
• Head to the towers (1 Party = 1 Tower) and defeat the demons around the tower.
• Get Petra Gynaik and Petra Antras from the dead demon corpses.
• Item mix them to get Petra Phos which is used to suppress the tower.
• Stand-by until anyone at each tower have the Petra Phos.
  • Use Team chat and ask if anybody at the towers marked is ready yet. Failure to answer may cause failure to the run. Teamwork is vital.
• All the players with Petra Phos at each tower must use the Petra Phos on the tower within 60 seconds (1 minutes).
• Lord of Many Sins Succubus will spawn at each tower upon the suppression of each tower.
• Kill all the Succubus and the cut-scene about the arrival of Astaroth will be in play.
  • Cut-scene cannot be canceled.
• Fake Astaroths (Astaroth Vision) will appear at each tower with the real one at the Purple Square of the map at the "Objective" section.
  • You must defeat the Fake Astaroths in order to remove Real Astaroth (Astaroth Avatar) barrier temporary.
  • Should the Fake Astaroths re-spawns, the Real Astaroth barrier will be regained back until the Fake Astaroths are dead again.
  • Fake boss must be taken out by demon.
  • Should the screen turns dark, use Basic Guard or any guarding type skill in order to cancel the lighting bolts used by Astaroth Avatar.

Notable difference between normal and Diaspora run

• Special conditions is issued.
  • In Suginami,
    • Players: -70 to all status (i.e. STR, CLS-R and etc). Decreased combat performance in close-range, long-range, spell damage skills. Acquired Astaroth's Feather bad buff (Cannot be canceled by Dekunda. Can only be canceled by the death of Astaroth Avatar)
    • Demons: Cost 0 Magnitite to summon. All close-range, long-range, and spell damage increases. Healing skills effect increases.

• Impossible! damage modifier is added. This can only happen to any attack made by players (Unknown about Demons under the race of Human) against a demon. Any damage dealt is automatically set as zero damage.
• Barrier! damage modifier is added. The demon have a barrier on, thus decreasing to even null damage taken. Can be weakened or removed should a condition had been meet.
• All demons have been modified. They are more tougher and harder to kill than the normal one.
• Should you die and wish to return, you will be revived at the place you first came in (around the yellow barrier area).
• Your team members are colored in white on the map except yourself and your demon.

Rewards

• Suginami: 30 dungeon type reward box surrounding the exit which Astaroth Avatar is spawned.
  • Rare Loot: Vallauris Divine Armour
  • Contains 6 Masakadus
    • In which you can exchange with Gomory for prizes when you have certain amount:

The Exchange Prize include:

• 1,000 Expertise Point increase (150 / 200)
  • Only 2 per player.
• Comp Expansion (150)
  • +1 on your COMP (Not terminal) demon depository. Limit unknown.
• Astaroth Plugin (500)
• Skills (100 Each), Demon only.
  • Heatwave (Spin: Weapon Affinity)
  • Tentarafoo (Destruction Magic: Mind affinity)
  • Charisma (Passive: Increase Negotiation Success)

Tips & Tricks

• It is highly recommended to bring 6 full parties (30 members) to the run by the use of Versus Team Condition. The demons are merciless and will happily murder you to oblivion.
• Teamwork is vital. Any failure to coordinate the battle plan to go exactly as planned will screw up the whole run and difficult to be done on time.
• Your demon should be able to hold on their own salt. Any unrebirthed demon with bad skill set will likely be a goner in one solid hit.
• Make one chat tab for party + team only. You can get info faster that way without other interruption (i.e. Damage log).
• A team can't function if certain parts aren't listening, we need to communicate!
• Set loot to Free-For-All (Each parties) and assign a person (Leader preferred) to mix and use on tower upon confirmation from all other members.
• Do not bring your personal issue/grudge against a player when playing. Play properly and prioritize to finish the run as soon as possible.
• Refrain from abusing the Team chat with pointless text. Only use when needed (i.e. when you are ready to suppress the tower and awaiting for order)
