Costlemark Tower (Menace) is a Level 99 Menace Dungeon locked behind the vault in Costlemark Tower.

Requirements

  • Level 99.
  • Lasagna al Forno (Ignis Cooking Skill Lv9), not only does this dish add 4000 to the party's max HP, most importantly the party is immune to fire, ice, and electric damage. Ingredients are as follows:
    • Jabberwock Sirloin (sold in Meldacio Hunter HQ)
    • Cleigne Darkshell (sold in Cape Caem)
    • Fine Cleigne Wheat (sold in Lestallum, Old Lestallum, Altissia)
  • Three Wind-up Lord Vexxos from the Justice Monster Five machine in Altissia. Use 99 of one element, and 49 of the other two elements plus a Wind-up Lord Vexxos, to get Flare, Freeze, and Electron with 338 potency. (Need the Ascension node Ultimate Powercraft, should be fine if potency is less, but no Maxicasts.)
  • A good Greatsword and a good pair of Daggers. I used Apocalypse from A Menace Sleeps in Balouve 1st campsite and Vigilantes from A Menace Sleeps in the Grotto 1st campsite.
  • Ribbons, Safety Bits, Mystic Circlet (or best magic enhancing equipment, Mystic Circlet can be found in A Menace Sleeps in Crestholm 1st campsite) for Noctis (and optional Friendship Band for teammates). Two Ribbons and Safety Bits can be acquired from Sania quest and Lestallum Hunts must be equipped on Noctis and Ignis. I had extras so I equipped them on Gladiolus as well.
  • Sword of the Father, Scepter of the Pious, and Shield of the Just to boost magic and defense.
  • Techniques, Regroup for Ignis and Impulse for Gladiolus.

General Strategy

  • Use magic frequently. Most of the time the damage output will be close to 99,999 if not capped at that amount. This will one-shot weak enemies, or take out more than 50% of their HP on stronger enemies with few exceptions. You should have 53 or more casts of Flare, Freeze, and Electron, that is more than plenty to get through all 60 rooms of the dungeon. I ended using around 20 of each during my attempt.
  • Start most battles by casting a magic. If there are more than one enemy in the room try to get as many as possible. Roll and warp around the room until enemies are close to each other.
  • Use Regroup when HP is low, this is the main HP recovery method in battles.
  • Always camp to and eat Lasagna al Forno, being immune to elemental attacks will make things very easy.

Enemies Weakness

Not all resistance and immunity are listed, only for those without elemental weaknesses.

  • Havocfang - Weak to Greatsword, Daggers, and Ice. Easy enemy, consider using Freeze for groups of four or more.
  • Hobgoblin - Weak to Greatswords, Machinery, Fire, and Light. Easy enemy, consider using Flare for groups of four or more.
  • Mindflayer - Weak to Polearms, Daggers, and Light, resistant to Ice, absorbs Lightning. 148,800 HP, after one use of Flare, it can be taken down easily with Daggers.
  • Malboro - Weak to Greatswords, Machinery, and Fire. 108,700 HP, after one use of Flare, it can be taken down easily with Greatswords.
  • Iron Giant - Weak to Greatswords, Shields, and Light, resistant to Lightning, absorbs Fire. 150,100 HP, consider casting Freeze twice, due to its strong physical attacks. Run around or attack with caution during the cool down time between casts. This is more essential in the room with four Iron Giants.
  • Jormungand - Weak to Swords, Daggers, and Lightning. 603,600 HP, takes 4 to 5 casts of Electron to take down. We are immune to its Fire attacks.
  • Goblin - Weak to Polearms, Daggers, Fire and Light. Easy enemy, consider using Flare for groups of four or more.
  • Braindrainer - Weak to Polearms, Daggers, Lightning and Light. 185,000 HP, after one use of Electron, it can be taken down easily with Daggers. Two cast also works perfectly, good option when in the room with four Braindrainers.
  • Elder Coeurl - Weak to Swords and Daggers, immune to all elements. 123,000 HP, focus on one target as it will try to regain HP. Due to its agility it is harder to land hits, but being immune to its Lightning attacks, it does not pose as a threat.
  • Uttu - Weak to Greatswords, Machinery, and Light, immune to Ice, absorbs Fire and Lightning. 122,000 HP, go all out attack with Greatswords, it will be down in no time. We are immune to its Lightning attacks.
  • Serpentess - Weak to Greatswords, Daggers, and Light, immune to Fire, absorbs Ice. 196,400 HP, cast Electron, decrease its HP to around 40% with physical attacks then finish it off with another Electron. This is because it is capable of self-destruct when HP falls to 33% or less.
  • Bilrost - Weak to Swords, Daggers, and Ice. 649,700 HP, takes 4 to 5 casts of Freeze to take down. We are immune to its Fire attacks.
