🔍 What Is the Infernal Castle?
Also referred to as the Demon Tower, this dungeon features 100 increasingly difficult floors. It’s built to challenge your damage-per-second (DPS) potential, especially if your Shadows can deal damage in the quadrillions.
Every five floors, you'll face a powerful boss. Beat them, and you might even recruit them as a high-ranking Shadow ally.

The portal to the Infernal Castle spawns hourly at XX:45 (e.g., 12:45, 1:45) near the Set Spawn Location and Weapon Vendor NPCs in Leveling City. Once it appears, you have just 10 minutes to enter—so be prepared!
