Quick Guide

1 Clear the Dark Dungeon puzzle.
2 Defeat the Dark Knight.

For this puzzle, you will have to step on the orange light switches. Once you step off the switches the dungeon will go dark.

Watch out for the blue warp gates: these will warp you back to the entrance if you step on them.

As you progress through the dungeon just make sure to memorize the layout before you step off the switch. But we’ll guide you on exactly how to solve this dungeon with screenshots below.

Step 1: Walk down the stairs, turn up, then step on the orange switch.

Tip: Once the dungeon goes dark, use the walls to guide you around.

Step 3: Keep going up until you hit the wall, then turn left and head up at that intersection to step on the next switch.

Be careful not to step on the blue warp gate on the left side, since it’s close to the wall.

Step 6: Face up and the stairs will come into view all the way on the left-hand side of the screen. Walk up until you hit the wall, then turn left and walk diagonally until you get to the stairs.

Once you get to the bottom of the stairs, the dungeon will light up again. Heal your party before proceeding.

Dark Knight Details
Digimon Elemental Weaknesses Neutral Damage Elemental Resistances
SkullSatamon Fire, Wind Ice, Machine, Thunder, Water Darkness
Devidramon Fire, Wind Machine, Thunder, Water Darkness, Ice
Vilemon (Alt) Fire, Wind Machine, Thunder, Water Darkness, Ice

The three Digimon will keep using Dark Elemental. SkullSatamon and Vilemon will deal between 600 and 800 damage per hit, but that can climb above 1,000 damage with a critical.

Devidramon, on the other hand, will hit quite hard, consistently dealing between 1,200 and 1,500 damage per hit.

Watch out for Vilemon’s Speed stat as well. Since it’s quite fast, the ghoul Digimon will be able to move twice per turn, and will occasionally evade your attacks.

The Dark Knight will give you the most trouble out of the three dungeon bosses, so be prepared for a step-up in difficulty.

Once again, exploiting his Digimon’s weaknesses will be the best strategy. However, since the Dark Knight’s Digimon rarely use physical attacks, you probably won’t get too many chances to use the Counter Crest.

After you defeat him, the Dark Knight will let you through to the Emergency Chamber.

Next in the main story you will use the Emergency Chamber to invade the Magasta Undersea Base in order to stop the A.o.A from launching the warship Juggernaut.
