Welcome to our guide to complete the Might of the Earth set dungeon for Barbarians,a required step to complete the Masters of the Universe Conquest.

The Might of the Earth Set Dungeon is located in Act II, the City of Caldeum.Teleport to that location's waypoint, then go all the way down near the entranceof the Imperial Palace, where Belial's fight takes place. The entrance of theSet Dungeon will appear to its right, near a noble carriage if you have theMight of the Earth 6-piece bonus equipped.

The Might of the Earth Set Dungeon's two unique Primary Objectives are to: 1)Use Leap, Ground Stomp and then Earthquake in under 6seconds on every Elite; and 2) Freeze and kill at least 1 enemy every 10 secondsfor 1 minute.

The Might of the Earth Set Dungeon is a winding Archives map from Act II,featuring many nooks and crannies with hidden enemy potential. Doing the startingsemi-linear location as fast as you can (paying attention to downstairs areas)and then doing a clockwise clear of the roughly rectangular second half of thedungeon is a proven attempt path.

The Might of the Earth Set Dungeon is populated by three kinds of enemies:

• Imps — these annoying critters account for nearly the entire populaceof the dungeon. They appear in large packs and are annoyingly skittish; if younotice a straggler running away, make a point to snipe him ASAP with an Ancient Spear.
• Armored Destroyers — these large, easily noticeable monsters will bea far more convenient prey for your Barbarian, as they charge you heedlessly andsimply feed your objectives.
• Defenders of Might — the unique enemies of the map. They resemble Act4's Oppressors, but also have Molten and Teleporter affixes. Keep in mind theirinevitable charge attacks and always try to have the 1st Objective's cooldownshandy when you spot them on the map.

While this applies to all Set Dungeons, do your best to kill all enemies inthe areas you pass through. The mobs in the Might of the Earth Set Dungeon arenotoriously skittish and the dungeon is quite long; avoid needing tobacktrack.

The Might of the Earth Set Dungeon is, unfortunately, of the type thatbenefits from nerfing your build and toning down your damage. Having your Earthquakes do too much damage can lead to mishaps on the firstObjective, so take some simple steps to lower your damage to the 300-400k point:drop Strength and Offense-section Paragons, drop Crit Damage gems from weaponry,drop excess offense jewelry and legendary gems. Most notably, the signatureweapon of proper Earthquake builds, Blade of the Tribes, can causemore trouble than benefit in this Set Dungeon — we advise that you skip itin favor of more generic weaponry (like the Fury gen combo of the Bul-Kathos setswords).

The crux of failure in this Set Dungeon is panicking on the rotation and/ornot having the necessary cooldowns up when an Elite comes around (most likelyyour Earthquake). If you follow this guide's recommendations, you willbe countering this possibility by stacking a lot of CDR, but you should also beprepared to dump an emergency Ancient Spear into thin air for resets fromthe 2-piece bonus (it does not require a target to work).

The second Objective will happen very naturally, as it simply requires you tobe actively killing things and staying on the move. If you play the buildproperly and do not linger in empty areas for too long, you should accomplish thistask without paying extra attention to it.
