Dungeon - Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak

For the purpose of this guide the map has been divided in to 4 sections.


The red dots are treasure chests. The yellow dots are photocells, which look like tiny yellow fireflies ingame. The empty circles are the magitek devices creating the shields.

Photocells

Each magitek device requires 4 photocells to disable it, which then unlocks another part of the dungeon. 8 photocells are needed in total to engage the bosses in sections 1 or 2, which are Antares and Sargas, respectively. 16 photocells are needed in total to engage Shaula, the boss of section 3.

Unlock Order

The order of unlock the gates is important in getting to Shaula due to the one way drops that can leave you stranded in a section that hasn't been unlocked yet, forcing you to return to the enterance.

The device that leads into Section 1 needs to be unlocked first. So, the 4 photocells in the "entry section" need to be gathered. Then

1. the 1st device can be unlocked and the 4 photocells in Section 1 gathered.
2. the 2nd device needs to be unlocked which leads into Section 2.
3. the 4 photocells in Section 2 need to be gathered.
4. the 3rd device needs to be unlocked which leads into Section 3.
5. the 4 photocells in Section 3 need to be gathered in order to unlock Shaula's room.

All-in-all, you will gather 16 photocells and 6 treasure chests along the way if you make the effort to get them. You can shorten this by first unlocking Device #2 and collecting the photocells in Section 2 and then returning to the start to unlock Device #3.

Getting to Antares or Sargas is much simple. Unlock Section 1 and then Antares' room's device. Sargas is behind Device #2, so as long as you unlock Device #2 first (ignoring Device #1), it will take 8 photocells in total as well.
