Sarah's Memory

Sara’s Memory is a memorial dungeon that lets your party relive a tragic moment from Sara Irine’s childhood. When Sara was only 4 years old, her mother was murdered, and the only suspect was her father, Lord (Doyen) Irine. Sara shocked and terrified runs away as Payon guards chase her, while hidden figures manipulate events from the shadows.
This instance is a story-driven chase + combat dungeon that requires your party to keep moving through Payon’s streets, defeat waves of guards, and follow Sara’s trail until the rift collapses.

Instance Walkthrough
1) The Encounter
Inside 1@sara, the party leader triggers the story introduction with Sara. The scene establishes Payon village life and introduces Doyen Irene, before suspicious elders begin plotting behind the scenes.
2) Follow Sara’s Trail
Progression is guided by:
Map announcements
Viewpoint markers (green indicators)
Warp triggers that open after defeating required mobs
3) Guard Waves (Unlocking Warps)
The instance repeatedly blocks paths until your party defeats waves of guards.
Phase 1
Large wave of Payon Soldiers + Wolf Guards
Warp to next area opens
Phase 2
Smaller wave (Soldier II + Desert Wolf Guards)

Heavy wave
Next warp opens
Phase 4
Mini showdown area

4) Doyen Irene Encounter
After a scripted chase sequence, your party faces:
Payon Soldier II wave
then Doyen Irene (boss)
Once defeated, the story reveals the twist: Doyen Irene claims he killed an assassin, not Sara’s mother explaining why his sword was bloody.
5) The Shadow Figures
As you try to reach Sara, mysterious figures intervene, stating the “time travelers cannot interfere,” and Sara disappears causing the area to destabilize.
6) Escape and Exit
A final warp becomes available that returns players to Payon.
