How to Enter the Lamenting Underground

Despite the text for this Codex quest saying you need to Enter the Lamenting Underground, you actually need to enter the Level 40 Cave of Desperation dungeon. This is more than likely just a translation error in the text, as the Lamenting Underground isn’t even a dungeon! However, despite dungeons being design around a group of six players, Cave of Desperation is actually a Level 40 dungeon. This means if you are Level 50 and have decent gear, you can actually solo this Codex quest.

To enter the Cave of Desperation dungeon, which is mislabeled as the Lamenting Underground in the quest text, simply open your Co-Op Dungeon screen from the menu and choose Cave of Desperation. If you are going to do this solo, hit the Enter button at the bottom and you will be teleported to the dungeon. If you want to do it with a party, click on the Party Matchmaking button and choose your role, or click the Party Board then click on Cave of Desperation and manually search for a party.

It’s important to note that even though the Cave of Destruction is just the Level 50 variant of this very same dungeon, it does not have Paola’s Research Journal in it, and therefore cannot be used to complete this codex quest.

Where to find Paola’s Research Journal

Paola’s Research Journal for the Dimensional Circle: Cave of Desperation Codex quest is actually located just after the first room in the dungeon. Upon entering the Cave of Desperation, use the grapple point straight ahead to reach the upper-level area. You’ll fight three waves of Ants here before the wall beside you crumbles giving access to the next area. Don’t worry if you die to these Ants, as you will respawn at the beginning of the dungeon which is right next to you, and you can quickly get back into the combat.

After the wall crumbles, you will notice a campfire as well as a mineable Gigantic Moonstone in the corridor leading to the next area. After passing the campfire, immediately turn left into the small chamber there instead of heading right to proceed through the dungeon. Paola’s Research Journal can be found on the ledge here next to the big orange ant eggs that are pulsating along the cave walls. You can also reference the screenshot at the top of this post to see exactly where it’s located.

Once you’ve completed the Dimensional Circle: Cave of Desperation Codex quest by finding Paola’s Research Journal in the “Lamenting Underground”, you have officially completed all of Paola’s research quests! You will finish Chapter 4 of the Adventure Codex and receive the following rewards:

  • 5,539 Sollant
  • 1x Rare Active Skill Growth Book
  • 1x Rare Passive Skill Growth Book
