One of the major draws of our server is that we do first-time carries for the Annihilation-difficulty dungeon, Machine Zeus Descended. There are multiple people dedicating their time and effort to helping players get their first MZeus. We’ll keep this as up-to-date as possible with information on how to participate.

How to Get Your First MZeus

Step 1: Add the MZeus role to yourself in the #bot-command-spam channel using the following command:

.iam MZeus

If our Bot Nadeko isn’t working, you can get in touch with an Admin and they can assign the role.

Step 2: Wait for a carrier to ping the MZeus role. Carriers are not available at all times and usually operate on a first-come-first-serve basis. Some MZeus Senpais may form a queue if they are planning on doing multiple carries. Do not direct message any carriers unless they ask you to do so.

Step 3: Follow the carrier instructions exactly. MZeus is an unforgiving dungeon and while you aren’t expected to do much (usually 1-2 combos), it is possible to throw the run if you don’t do precisely as directed. Please clarify any instructions you aren’t sure about.

Step 4: Thank the carrier, even if the run is unsuccessful. While the carries are quite consistent, RNG is a cruel mistress. Our carriers are much more likely to reattempt with a gracious and respectful partner; remember, a failed run is wasted stamina for your carrier too. If you like, you can publicly thank your carriers in our #post-your-thanks channel.

 

What Do I Need to Bring?

The first reliable carry was devised by the player Dacho, who used Awoken Ra. Since then, additional players have devised viable alternative teams.

Each section below details teams you can bring that will meet the needs of one of our carriers. Unless otherwise specified, the leader needs to be fully-awoken and ideally close to max level (plus-eggs are not required but may help with consistency).
