Overview
Memories of Sarah is a part of the Heroe's Trails set of instances. It is intended for small parties of players that just stepped into the level 100+ territory and started to learn their new skills.
Its difficulty can vary greatly due to the fact that multiple fights are optional, including the final boss, who is far from being a pushover.
This means that groups not strong enough to face the optional challenges, can take a more peaceful route, which stil allows you to complete the main quest and claim experience.
Both newcomers and veterans can benefit from running this instance, be it for EXP, buff foods or rare loot from the final boss.
Background and Lore
Based on the original Ragnarok: Into the Abyss manhwa by Lee Myung-jin, this instance narrates the tragic events transcurred in Payon during the tender youth of Sarah Irene, who later became a Valkyrie of Freyja. What was an ordinary day, turned into a river of blood, the little girl who was all too happy to present a gift of flowers she had picked to her parents, was suddenly struck by a traumatic happening she will never let go, going as far as becoming a twisted and violent person in the future, and slaughtering her own father, Doyen Irene.
You'll witness the conspiracy of Payon's Elders to remove what they deemed "unclean blood" from inheriting the position of the Lord, murder of Sarah's mother and a great misunderstanding you will try resolve with no avail. Time travelers are not allowed to change such grand events so in the end all you can do is watch how the girl turns against her father, all due to a mistake.
Tips
After a couple of reunions with Sarah and Doyen, you will have to face squads of guards and their combat dogs as you try to chase the girl down.
You've got to navigate through four zones, finding the girl and dispatching guards that get on your way.
Payon Guard isn't particularly sturdy but can inflict a good amount of damage, and they come in groups, while Veteran Payon Guard is more difficult.
Fierce Guard Dog can inflict a lot of damage if left alone so they should be disposed of quickly, while Gentle Guard Dogs won't attack you, unless they sniff your hostility towards a guard, or another dog.
If you decide to slaughter those friendly dogs, and upon clearing the current zone from all the guards, you will be forced to face a Houndmaster, which is a pretty powerful miniboss,
accompanied by a pack of brutal Trained Hounds that he supports with Heal, while the dogs enrage and gain Power Up if they notice their master drop to low HP.
Those encounters are entirely optional though.
When you finally catch up with Sarah, you're given two choices, to convince Doyen Irene that you aren't the murderer of his wife and didn't try to kindap Sarah, or to face him by blocking his way, allowing Sarah to escape again.
In the first case, Doyen won't fight you, asking you track his daughter down instead, which concludes with the main quest's completion.
In the second, he will go all out on you, this boss is a considerable difficulty leap from what you have faced earlier.
Lord Doyen Irene is both sad and angry at what have happened, and you're the most apparent scapegoat for his frustration.
Running away isn't a good option as he will close the gap with Flying Side Kick or attack by casting Finger Offensive.
When in melee range expect to get mauled by various Taekwon and Monk combos, including the deadly Chain Crush Combo and Tiger Knuckle Fist.
He's not all about offense though, you will have to deal with permanent Break Fall and constant High Heals as his HP dwindles, at low HP, he will cast Millenium Shield from time to time.
Good balance between offense and defense are required to deal with this grieving father.
