Equipment

• Armor

• Knight's insignias in all pieces of an 80AR armor.
• Highest Vigor rune affordable.
• Exceptional Tactics rune in a +1tactics helm.
• Exceptional Absorption rune.
• Vitae runes in the remaining 2 pieces.

• Weapons

• Preferably a +5 energy sword with an "of Fortitude" or "of Shelter" pommel and a zealous sword hilt.
• Preferably a 16AR shield with a "of Fortitude" handle and a "Run for your life" inscription.

Usage

• Use always Dwarven Stability followed by Gladiator's Defense when aggroing a group.
• If you brought "By Ural's Hammer!" use it immediately after Gladiator's Defense.
• Attack enemies to recover energy and build up adrenaline. Spam your riposte(s) as much as you can.
• Case some enemies survive (they should be dead before Gladiator Defense ends) use Bonetti's Defense or "Watch Yourself" and finish them off with riposte(s).
• Always use Healing Signet under Gladiator's Defense or between battles. Time it so it doesn't get interrupter by a Shove case you use it while battling.
• Aggro the first two groups fast (one at a time) before they see Togo so they don't attack him.
• Don't get near the point Togo marks on the compass so he doesn't follow you through the rest of the farm.
• Use Necrotic Traversal to get past the following closed doors.
• Try not to aggro 2 groups at a time, as melee enemies flee when there are more than 3 of them hitting you at the same time.

Counters

• Letting the first 2 groups see and attack Togo.
• Not attacking the guards with the sword will most likely lead to running out of energy and adrenaline.

Notes

• You can kill the animals in the zoo too, though they do drop nothing but warrior tomes. It's better to restart the farm when reaching the zoo.
• Bring lockpicks, as chests are the more likely source of Shinobi blades.
