Yes, those blue lines are not actually the path, they are like a water or river type of thing. This is the path you need for the boss room ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/3/c/3c38f27b50851ccce2139b20d96f6ded291473b1.jpeg) ---

Pure faction in Sea of Sorrowā€¦ I wish you some serious good luck. Without potions, anything magic based just doesnā€™t do enough magic damage. It pretty high on my not doing it without potions list. ---

Which delves are currently beatable at 500 faction without potions? Iā€™ve done Crypt Keepers, All Seeing Eye, Primal Rift, and Amanithrax; looking for next best place to focus since everything else is at 2300. I know a couple of people have beaten Hall of Guardians. I saw the video of Stonesong Eyrie at 500, but that looked like witchcraft, so not sure if I should count it. šŸ˜† Any others? ---

If you donā€™t mind me asking you a question instead of answering yours, did you do 300 faction-only for all your factions w/o potions? Iā€™m currently leveling up all mine, and Iā€™m questioning if I should spend sigils for 300 faction-only. I became discouraged after several losses with All-Seeing Eye. ---

All except Silver Necropolis. That was the first delve that came out with potions, so I wanted to try it out. Wonā€™t do it again, though - not willing to give up that much of a weekend. Worst factions at 300 for me were Sea of Sorrow and Dark Pits - both took more attempts than I can count at 199 hoard. ASE was one of the kinder ones thanks to summons, but none of them are automatic wins (well, maybe Amanithrax - Gob loops are pretty solid.) ---

Oh, thatā€™s gonna be awful of me to say but maybe City of Thieves, if there is a Cedric room. If there isnā€™t I would recommend just throwing the run and not even wasting time. Stonesong I actually enjoyed and got it pretty quickly, but of course itā€™s random luck just like in Crypt. HoG and _possibly maybe_ Fang Moor? With enough boost from treasure hoard theoretically possible. Same goes for SoS too. And Warrens, Necropolis, Dark Pits and Sunken Fleet are pain to do without super high magic unfortunately ---

Iā€™ve been doing that at CoT - trying faction if thereā€™s a Cedric and farming it with HKI if not. Havenā€™t made it out of room 1 with faction yet, though. Lots of DD at both ends of the team, and no Cedric bonus yet to help survive it. ---

For todayā€™s Faction Event, which would be the recommended Faction team to try to beat level 500? I bought Tier 7 only (?) five times and my hoard is at level 140ā€¦ Do I have a chance? ---

Sea of Sorrow, I used: Hammerclaw Sea Witch The Deep King The Deep King Frozen Banner Andā€¦ I think when I did it, I used 7 Tier 7s with a similar hoard level. Expect frustrations no matter how you attempt it. ---

Iā€™m planning to try ASE around 200 hoard once I get the +50% bonus. Does anyone have any non-obvious tips for that pure faction delve? I assume that resummons are key, but you have to be careful not to get your summoner hit by their 2-target spells. The only pure faction run that seems _really_ impossible to me is Sea of Sorrow (without potions). I just donā€™t see a way to deal with the deep king. Their magic stat scales so much faster than hoard quality can keep up with.
