Syndicate Hideout

The dungeon is one large scripted room (act_2_dungeon, flagged _stage: true) rather than a procedural room pool, requiring level 40 to enter and scaling for 1-4 players across a level_range of 40-50. Barriers lower or tween open as each wave clears, and the run is tracked by the signal dungeon_completed/act_2_dungeon.

Waves 1 through 5 fight through Syndicate rank-and-file - Axe, Shortsword and Greatsword variants whose spawn counts scale with party size (1/2/2/2 and similar per-player brackets) - alongside a Goat, a Serpent pack that escalates into a Great Serpent, and a Lion pack that escalates into a Lion Monarch elite and a Syndicate Officer. Two cutscenes interrupt the advance: Syndicate members shouting 'We're under attack!' at wave 2, and 'How did they get this far into our hideout!' at wave 5.

Wave 6 tweens open a set of double doors into the Syndicate Leader boss fight, introduced by his line 'You're the one who stopped our attack on the village. This time, I'll show no mercy!' Wave 7 follows immediately with the Chimera boss fight - its intro dialogue is a genuine lore beat straight from client data: Chimera says it senses 'the same Ether' in the player as in 'the other Deities' and vows to bring them before its master. Clearing wave 7 opens a boss chest with tiered material rewards (common 45 / rare 35 / epic 15 / legendary 5 weight), 100 gold, 8 material rolls, two upgrade-shard chances and a 12% chance at the Twin Fangs weapon, before teleporting the player back to the hideout's entrance.
