Recreated Dark Whisper is a post-story daily Chapter 1 party instance in which the party fights Immortal Monarch (22497) while managing linked crystals. It uses 1@ch1b and is separate from the narrative Dark Whisper encounter (ch1_dw) and the Ominous Dark Whisper story instance (1@ch1a). Correct crystal timing is essential: the red Himmelmez's Vessel can restore the boss's HP, while the Blue Crystal opens the party's damage window.

3. The party leader selects the available difficulty and creates the instance.

Difficulty levels

The selected level determines the strength of the encounter. For Levels 2-5, the party leader must meet the following minimum Base Level.

Difficulty	Minimum Base Level of Party Leader
Level 1	Base difficulty
Level 2	260
Level 3	265

From Level 3 onward, Amdarais (22498) appears along the Blue Crystal Portal staircase. It can stun the boss when defeated, but the Blue Crystal route is the recommended stun method.

Party and failure rules

• All party members must remain alive and inside the instance.
• A 10-second failure countdown begins when a member dies, leaves the instance or is no longer present.
• If the countdown reaches zero, the attempt fails and the encounter must be restarted.
• From Level 3 onward, only one player may enter the upper-floor staircase at a time. A second player entering it resets the attempt.
• The upper-floor player must return to the main arena and be present for the final blow on the boss, or that player will not receive the reward.

Walkthrough

Levels 1-2

1. Engage Immortal Monarch (22497) and watch the main arena for the randomly spawning Red Crystal and Blue Crystal.
2. Destroy the Blue Crystal to stun Immortal Monarch and Himmelmez's Vessel, opening an amplified-damage window.
3. Destroy the stunned Himmelmez's Vessel to prevent its HP regeneration, then focus Immortal Monarch while the stun remains.
4. Repeat the crystal sequence whenever it returns, and complete the reward dialogue before leaving.

Levels 3-5

1. Before starting, choose one player as the crystal runner. Everyone else remains in the main arena.
2. Wait for the Blue Crystal Portal to appear in the arena. Only the runner enters it, then follows the spiral staircase to the Blue Crystal.
3. Ignore Amdarais (22498) on the staircase. Defeating it can stun the boss, but this is not the recommended method.
4. Destroy the Blue Crystal and return to the main arena. Then destroy the stunned Himmelmez's Vessel before focusing the stunned boss.
5. Repeat the portal, blue-crystal, red-vessel, and boss sequence as needed.
6. When the boss is close to death, wait until the runner has returned to the main arena before dealing the final blow.
7. Complete the reward dialogue before leaving the instance.

Crystal mechanics

Himmelmez's Vessel (red)

Target and location	Function	Priority
Himmelmez's Vessel (red) Himmelmez's Vessel (22499) Main arena	It can restore the boss's HP. The Blue Crystal stuns it and opens its vulnerability window.	On every level, destroy it during the stun window before focusing Immortal Monarch.

Levels 1-2

Target and location	Function	Priority
Blue Crystal (blue) Blue Crystal (1914) Main arena	It spawns randomly. Destroying it stuns Immortal Monarch and Himmelmez's Vessel, amplifying damage to both for a short time.	Destroy it first.

Levels 3-5

Target and location	Function	Priority
Blue Crystal Portal Main arena to upper-floor staircase	It spawns randomly and leads the runner to the Blue Crystal. The normal Blue Crystal no longer appears in the main arena.	Send one runner through the portal.
Blue Crystal (blue) Blue Crystal (1914) End of the staircase	Destroying it returns the runner to the boss room and creates the amplified-damage window.	Destroy it, then eliminate the stunned red vessel before attacking the boss.

Immortal Monarch

Immortal Monarch (22497)

The boss of the instance is Immortal Monarch (22497) . This page refers specifically to the Chapter 1 instance version.

Attacks and hazards

• Lockon Laser (Level 1 onward): deals 30,000 fixed damage. Move as soon as the target marker appears above your character.
• Ground Drive (Level 2 onward): an Earth attack with limited safe locations.
• Rain of Meteor (Level 2 onward): a Fire attack with limited safe locations.
• Jupitel Thunder and Ignition Break: expect both ranged magic pressure and close-range burst damage.
• The boss may switch targets and chase a different party member. Keep it positioned where the main group can immediately attack the Himmelmez's Vessel.
• Floor and area attacks can overlap with the crystal window. Survival takes priority because a single death starts the party failure countdown.

To remain eligible for the reward:

• Stay alive and inside the instance until completion.
• If you were the crystal runner, return to the main arena before the boss dies.
• Finish the completion dialogue before leaving.

Strategy tips

• Assign the runner before the Level 3-5 fight. High mobility, survivability and quick single-target damage make this role safer.
• Keep every other party member in the main arena; never follow the runner upstairs.
• Save burst damage and short-duration buffs for the Himmelmez's Vessel's vulnerability window.
• Do not spend long cooldowns on the highly resistant red vessel before the blue crystal is destroyed.
• Use the limited safe locations for Ground Drive and Rain of Meteor when they appear. A party with Land Protector can use it as an optional countermeasure for these ground effects.
• When the boss is nearly defeated, announce it and confirm that the runner is back before finishing the fight.
• On higher difficulties, prioritize avoiding telegraphed attacks over greed. Any death can cost the entire attempt.
• If the boss appears to heal while the Himmelmez's Vessel was destroyed correctly, record the timing and report it; the old healing behavior was corrected in MuhRO Patch Notes #203.
