Walkthrough
- 1Arrive at Smileport: After you pass through the first couple of doors, you'll run into a pack of three enemies. Keep pushing forward, and right after you go up the stairs, you'll find another group. Fight them off! A little further ahead, two more packs are waiting. You *can* try to pull these two groups together, but be warned, it's a tough pull, so make sure your Healer is ready!
- 2Clear Smileport: Your first mini-boss here is Face. Take 'em down to continue. You'll get a Treasure Coffer for your efforts.
- 3Arrive at the Welcome Wheel: Head down the stairs, and you'll find a group of three enemies. You can pull them towards the group of Smiley Kissers nearby. Don't forget to grab the Treasure Coffer on the left side of this area! Keep moving, and a pack of three enemies will come charging at you. It's best to pull them back towards the wall where another pack of four enemies is waiting. There's another Treasure Coffer tucked away in the corner here, so grab that too.
- 4Clear the Welcome Wheel: Next up is Frameworker. Defeat this boss to proceed. Like before, you'll get a Treasure Coffer after the fight.
- 5Arrive at the Frame: This last section is pretty open, with no walls to speak of. While it might seem tempting to pull all four enemy groups at once, trust me, that's a recipe for a wipe! It's much smarter to pull them in smaller groups, like two packs at a time. You'll need to watch out for AoEs here. The Smiley Supporter uses a donut-shaped AoE, and the Smiley Sweeper will hit you with left and right cleaves. There's one last Treasure Coffer on the side before the final boss.
- 6Defeat the Big Cheese: Get ready for the final boss battle against The Big Cheese! Once you've defeated him, the dungeon is officially complete. You'll get one more Treasure Coffer before heading for the exit. Congrats!
