Here is a guide to the Vault of rising dragons in the Liaodong Dungeon , if you are planning to enter this dungeon , please read through this guide carefully . And hope you get through the run faster in 9Dragons .

I. Entering the Dungeon

The entrance to the dungeon is on the upper level of the ship, in the right corner. Normally, that would be the captain's quarters.

II. Passes Needed

If you wish to purchase the pass from the Item Mall, the name of the pass is [color here] Plate of Vault of Rising Dragons (as shown in the 4th picture).
Regarding time: No matter which pass color you put in, the timer will always be set at 60 minutes.

III. The Rooms

Unfortunately, this particular dungeon's map is completely black so we will have to go room-by-room.

First Challenge

Loading into the Vault, you will enter a room full of Musketeers (Level 173) and Spearmen (Level 173).
This chamber and the next chamber (after tearing down the first gate) are occupied by the same exact mobs.
You must kill more than half of the mobs you encounter in order to advance to the next challenge.
Therefore, clearing most of these rooms will save you time from running back and forth.

Next, you will reach a small platform that will have Twin Katanas (Level 174) and Daikatanas (Level 174).
Regardless of which slope you go down, you will reach a door that you double-click to go through.

There, you will encounter Hidden Katanas (Level 173) who guard a set of double doors.
If you have cleared enough mobs, a message will appear to automatically open those doors.

Second Challenge

Be very careful, this part is the most confusing because the rooms are like a maze.

You will enter a misty hall with Ayakashis (Level 176). However, your targets are FOUR Bloody Ayakashis.
One will definitely be located in the hall you appear in. The other three will be located in various rooms filled with other Ayakashis.
Most of the Ayakashis will swarm you so look carefully, because trying to find the missing one after clearing all rooms takes quite a long time.
You also must kill a few Ayakashis to advance, so it's best to kill mob after mob while twisting the camera around to look for a Bloody Ayakashi.
My suggestion is to activate the Game Setting that allows you to have all mob names opened in order to look for a Bloody Ayakashi more easily.

By the time you have reached a hall with barrels, you should have received a message of yellow text along the top of your screen.
This message indicates that you can begin breaking through the barrels. If you have not yet received the message, continue killing Ayakashis.
After the barrels have reached 0%, they should disappear so that you can advance to the next set of double-doors.

From there, you must kill all Egai Yakashi and defeat the boss Yakumo.
Then, attack the double-doors to advance to the next challenge.

Third Challenge

Once you are in the room with Escort Maids, focus on defeating both forms of Ghost General Abe, then break the doors.

This is the toughest part. You must kill most, if not all, of the Hiyamis in this chamber, including those in the six side rooms.
There is one Hiyami in the far center whom you will always "miss" on. All Hiyamis, excluding her, have 2 forms.
Hiyamis wearing a red kimono are in their 1st form; those in a blue kimono are in their 2nd form.
As a suggestion, avoid her and kill all other Hiyamis first, starting with ones in the main hall.

There are six side-rooms, three on each side, filled with Hiyamis. You must defeat most, if not all, of them, until you receive a message.
That message will indicate that you can start killing the Hiyami you previously missed on (the real boss in the center of the room).
Try to start in one of the middle side-rooms. Beginning in either the left or right side-rooms will result in Hiyamis being stuck in walls.

There are three forms to this Hiyami. Two as you saw before, and a third one where she is clad in a bikini.

Defeating her third form will result in a spawn of five bosses, each with two forms, except for one boss.
This next Hiyami has only one form and whoever kills her receives the Killer epithet (Declining Sun).

In no particular order:
Priest Gato
Commander Saburo
Diviner Genji
Tactician Mitsuko
Hiyami

IV. The Loot Room

You must go up the stairs and break down a set of doors to get to the loot room. It will have chests spread out among pillows.
After opening the first set of chests, you must break down another set of doors which will lead you to the second set of chests.
Then you can break down the last set of doors to exit back to Liaodong.

There is a chance of getting (from either loots or mob/boss drops):
- Blood Essences
- Level 5 and 6 elixirs
- Flowstones (high level)
- Golden threads (high level)
- Defense and HP/VE recovery Trinkets
- Clan-based 2nd Role Manuals
- Intermediate/Advanced Manuals
- Purple/Green/Red Passes
- Weapons

V. Your Reward

You receive Rising Dragon for completing the Vault of Rising Dragons and Declining Sun for defeating Hiyami's fourth and final form.
