Overview of Dark Mansion, with Necromancer Tower to the east

Dark Mansion is a dungeon entirely located under the volcano; the mansion above only acts as an access point. Players have to jump into a lava pool inside the mansion, and then fall through the lava in the volcano. A powerful legendary can be found here, and some decent dungeon loot. However, the mansion itself is empty.

To ensure their safety, players should always bring fire resistance potions when coming here.

Video Walkthrough

This is how the dungeon works.

Text Walkthrough

Lava Dropper (Difficulty: 3/10)

  • To even start the dungeon, you must first parkour across the broken bridge to the mansion.
  • To enter the actual dungeon, you must jump down the center hole into the lava below. You will fall through into the volcano, passing through another layer of lava.
    • Make sure you jump into the lava, as you will take much less damage than just walking into it and waiting to sink.
    • As the heading implies, don't move around while you're falling or you will miss the dropdown into the next area, and promptly burn to death.

Door Choice Room (Difficulty: 4/10)

  • You will fall into a pool of water in the first puzzle room. Refill your water, if needed.
  • This room has 4 exits with pressure plates with signs above them. The signs read "T P I T O !", "E E H O E T", "H U T T E T", "T R A S H U" (East, North, West, and South exits respectively). The correct exit is South (the T R A S H U sign).
    • Don't bother with any of the other exits, as they will shoot Splash Potions of Harming/Weakness at you.
  • After stepping on the pressure plate, the 3x3 door will open for a brief second and a Zombie Pigman will appear directly in front of the door. Sprint through and kill the zombies.
    • There is a chance that a baby pigman will spawn.
    • It is recommended to use a snowball to stop the pigman from hitting you, which would preventing you from getting to the door in time.
    • Don't step on the pressure plate again or let the zombies step on it, as this will cause another zombie pigman to spawn.

Short Hallway (Difficulty: 2/10)

  • After passing through the exit of the first room, proceed down the hallway.
  • The pressure plate in front of you is a trap that lets lava flow down onto you. Above and behind the pressure plate is a button which opens the door to the maze.
  • If you snowballed a baby pigman in the previous room, they may follow you as you complete this part.

The Maze (Difficulty: 2/10)

  • Following is a large, two-part maze. The floor is littered with pressure plates that will light up redstone lamps in the floor.
  • The two images below are top-down views of the maze. You enter the maze from the bottom of the image. Use these to solve the maze, or watch the video walkthrough.

First Floor and Second Floor


Split-Path Lava Parkour (Difficulty: 7/10)

  • At the exit of the second floor of the maze, you will find a chamber with a lava floor and a few lava falls. This is a parkour challenge that goes off in three directions.
  • One of you must complete the nether brick fence parkour on the left side and get ready to press a button.
    • This is the hardest of the three parkour paths.
  • Another one of you will need to climb down the ladder, beat the parkour on the floor, and stand on the pressure plate at the end.
    • Although this is the easiest of the three parkour paths, it is easy to get ping-spiked (damaged by the lava while jumping over it). Do not time your jumps too close to the edge of a block.
  • With Player 2 on the plate, when Player 1 presses his button, the door on the right side will open. A third player must parkour to the right side and go through the door.
    • There's a pressure plate just past the door that holds the door open. Stand on this so your teammates can backtrack their parkour and come to you.
      • More easily, your teammates can log out, and you can reconvene after the dungeon to distribute the gear from the loot room.

Loot Room (Difficulty: 1/10)

  • Loot your ten dungeon_tier_3 chests and pick up your Legendary.
    • At this point, you can type /logout. You will be sent to the dungeon entrance when you log in, past the bridge parkour, from which you can easily reverse the bridge parkour to leave Dark Mansion.
  • This room contains six iron pressure plates. Drop one item on each iron pressure plate to open up a passage below the sign that acts as the dungeon exit.

Exit Hallway (Difficulty: 2/10)

  • After you have successfully opened the way, you will walk through a very dark hallway. Right in front of you lies 3 stone pressure plates; They all open lava traps in the following order: In front of plate, In front of AND behind the plate, and behind the plate.
  • To avoid falling into the lava, shift onto the edge of the blocks that the plates are on, and proceed slowly. Do this one at a time!
  • Continue down the tunnel until you reach a button. Press it to be teleported to the true exit room.
  • Step on the pressure plate which opens a piston door, then move through the tunnel. The last tunnel has no pitfalls.
  • Congratulations, you've completed Dark Mansion!

Travel Advisory/Warnings

  • Always bring multiple fire resistance potions and a heal kit with Aloe Vera to this dungeon. You'll be swimming through the lava a lot if you're not experienced with parkour.
    • Aloe Vera can be farmed on your way north at locations such as Sirus, Altin, or Paluster.
    • Fire resistance potions drop from Scorchers. Many of them may spawn just south of Dark Mansion.
  • You can cook food here if you grapple to the top of the mansion. There's not much point in this; There is easily accessible cooking fire at nearby Crymoore Pond.
  • Like many far northern locations you must climb a steep cliff to get there, so make sure you bring a fair amount of food.
  • Be careful when crossing the bridge to the dungeon; A fall can be fatal. If you do fall, try and land on one of the islands/crumbled bridge supports. If you have a grapple, it's possible to get back up. If you don't, you can try to swim through the lava lake to the shore, but you will most likely have to use your fire resistance.
  • The entrance requires falling through two layers of lava (one at the mansion and the next in the lake), so bring enough bandages to stop a possible bleeding.


Trivia

  • This is one of the only dungeons in the game that has been around since before the Secret Update (August 2015), but has never had its build or mechanics altered significantly. Other such dungeons include Byesford Labs and Sunken Library.
  • This dungeon has the least number of rooms of any Tier 3. Krubera Vault can be completed more quickly, but has more distinct challenges.
  • It was once possible to duo or even solo complete this dungeon by using a Zombie Bow from Devil's Respite to activate the plates in the parkour room.
    • Soloing this dungeon has turned impossible due to the addition of a button was added to the left side around the time of the Re-Code Update.
    • It is still theoretically possible to duo this dungeon; However, getting the zombie on the bottom to walk onto the plate is extremely difficult.
  • A sign in the loot room reads "We demand sacrifice!"
  • The Ghost Ship was once North of Dark Mansion, behind the rocky hills.
  • Giants used to spawn to the West of Dark Mansion in the lava, it was possible to lure them to the side and collect the loot after they died. A tutorial can be found here.
