Vault Of The Formless Dungeon Walkthrough
The Vault of the Formless is one of the randomly generated areas in the N'Erud World region. As such, the layout of the area and the enemies you may face differ depending on your campaign roll. That said, listed below are the enemies you'll most likely find here, as well as some tips for dealing with them.
Enemy | Details |
|---|---|
N'Erud Zombie | These are the basic enemy type that you see all over N'Erud. They move around slowly, but can gain sudden bursts of speed when they detect you. Their weak point is their head; shooting their head will cause them to stumble for a second. |
Possessed | Possessed are floating N'Erud Zombies that can launch projectiles at you. They often float out of range of melee attacks, so you'll have to take them down from afar. |
Corpse Ball | The Corpse Ball is a large mass of flesh that rolls around and uses dangerous attacks. Breaking off the metal plating around its body, then hitting the bombs underneath, will blow off chunks of its flesh, exposing its weak point. |
Robot Grunt | Robot Grunts can fire fast-moving blue projectiles and occasionally spawn with an energy shield that can be destroyed to stun them for a moment. |
Specter | Specters are rare enemies that can fire projectiles and inhabit the bodies of other nearby enemies. When you defeat an enemy possessed by a Specter, the Specter will fly out, giving you an opportunity to deal damage to it. |
One of the main things that remains consistent through Vault of Formless tilesets are the number of hallways and corridors. These can prove dangerous when facing a Corpse Ball, for example, but also give you opportunities to peak around corners and take out enemies before they reach you. Use your surroundings to your advantage as you explore this area.
Eventually, you'll reach a checkpoint just before a grey fog wall. Heading through this door will begin the Zombie Horde boss encounter.
Zombie Horde Encounter
This is the main boss fight of the Vault of the Formless, but it differs from other bosses you may have fought so far. Instead of a primary boss you must kill, you'll instead face several waves of N'Erud Zombies, Possessed, and other enemies found in the previous area.
When you first enter the area, you'll face several N'Erud Zombies and Possessed. Killing these enemies will open a door to the right; pass through this door and hallway to progress into the next area, where you must repeat this process. The layout of this encounter is straightforward; you won't get lost.
Possessed sometimes float off the ledge, out of melee range. Use guns to quickly take these enemies down before they shoot you.
Eventually, you'll make it to a larger area with a big door. Stepping near this door will cause it to start to open, while more waves of N'Erud Zombies ambush you. Deal with these enemies until the door is open, and you'll have completed this encounter.
Here, you can either head left and up a ladder to a Checkpoint and your way out of this area, or right to a locked door. Behind this locked door is a powerful weapon, but you'll first need a key found earlier in the dungeon.
How To Open The Locked Door
To open the locked door at the end of the Vault of the Formless Zombie Horde encounter, you'll need the House Lythla Glyph. To get this Glyph, use the Checkpoint at the end of the dungeon to teleport back to the Checkpoint at its start.
From here, proceed through the first door that unlocked while you were fighting the Zombies, then head further in until you make it to the second door. Here, go inside the tunnel but wait for it to rotate around so that one side faces an edge and the other leads to a different part of the area.
The tunnel will rotate after a few seconds.
Go through this way, and on your left you'll find a small room with the House Lythla Glyph. Pick up this item and run back through the dungeon to the end, where you can use the Glyph on the locked door.
Opening this door will reward you with the Rupture Cannon. This short-range handgun has high damage but a slow reload speed, making it great for bursting down high-health enemies at close range.
