The Inna's Mantra Set Dungeon is located in Act II, the Flooded Causeway. Takethe Act II town waypoint, then head up north to the Caldeum Bazaar. Once inside,do a U-turn to the left at the first opportunity — you will see the sewergrate leading to the Flooded Causeway. In there, follow the path down and to theright; to the south of the entrance to the next zone, the Ruined Cistern, theentrance to the Inna Set Dungeon will appear if you have the Inna's Mantra 6-piece set bonusactive.

The Inna's Mantra Set Dungeon's two unique Primary Objectives are to: 1)Unleash your Mystic Allies on 10 enemies within 10 yards 5 times; and 2) Do notget Frozen for the duration of the dungeon.

The Inna's Mantra Set Dungeon is a Realm of the Banished tileset that isrelatively linear, despite first appearances. Simply head further and furtherdown on the map, making sure to finish off smaller branching areas before youcontinue.

The Inna's Mantra Set Dungeon is populated by several kinds of enemies:

• Bone Beetles and Scarabs — these tiny, near-harmless critters willprovide the bulk for the counter of the first Objective. Swarming from all sidesand relentless in their pursuit, they are the most valuable trash in thisdungeon.
• Lacuni Warriors and Slashers — slower moving, medium-sized targets witha strong melee attack. You can use them as filler for a pull on the firstObjective, but they will not follow you as readily.
• Inna's Guardians — the unique enemies of the map. They resembleAct 3's Golgor trash, but also have a Frozen affix. Their elite affix is tied toyour second Primary Objective, not getting Frozen for the duration of thisdungeon.

The Inna's Mantra Set Dungeon is, unfortunately, of the type that benefitsfrom nerfing your build and toning down your damage. In a properly specced build,your autonomous Mystic Ally summons will simply run ahead and slaughtereverything in your way before you get a chance to do the 1st Objective. Take somesimple steps to lower your damage to the 300-400k point: drop Dexterity andOffense-section Paragons, drop Crit Damage gems from weaponry, drop excessoffense jewelry and legendary gems. Do NOT take standard Inna itemization choiceslike The Crudest Boots and Bindings of the Lesser Gods.

While the dungeon is mostly made of tight and inconveniently curved pathways,there are several open platforms, albeit small. Try to use them to lure a largerpack of trash and Cyclone Strike them in a massive pull for the 1stObjective. If your damage is low enough (as it should), you can afford to set upa pull with 2 or more Cyclone Strikes.

The 2nd Objective — not getting Frozen — is rather trivial, as theElites are not very proactive in using their affix and when they do, you cansimply Dashing Strike away by paying minimal attention. While it is active, Epiphany will also protect you from crowd controlling affixes. You cancompletely ignore this threat if you equip Ice Climbers.
