Stela Farming in Deep Archimedea

This Stela farm depends on a specific Deep Archimedea week: Assassination with the Relentless Tide deviation. It works in both Deep Archimedea and Elite Deep Archimedea. Elite is preferred when the squad can handle it because the higher-level boss survives incidental damage for longer. Relentless Tide keeps the relevant Fragmented enemies entering the fight while the squad delays the boss kill. If that mission and deviation are not active, use another Stela source and revisit the farm on a suitable week.

The recommended organized squad is three Khora players and one Dante. Khora controls and loots the adds while Dante supplies Overguard and support. Every player must still meet the current access and loadout rules for the selected mode.

1. Confirm Deep Archimedea or Elite Deep Archimedea has both Assassination and Relentless Tide for the week.
2. Choose Elite when the squad is comfortable with it, or regular Deep Archimedea for the more forgiving version of the same farm.
3. Form three Khora players and one Dante, then agree that the boss will not be burned immediately.
4. Reach the Assassination arena and identify the active tile before choosing the farm position.
5. Place the Khora loot areas where Fragmented Tide enemies naturally enter.
6. Dante maintains team protection while the Khoras kill and loot the adds.
7. Collect Stela on a safe rhythm and finish the boss when the squad reaches its target or the run becomes unstable.

The farm exists because Relentless Tide sustains the additional enemy flow during the Assassination. The squad kills those adds inside loot abilities while avoiding unnecessary boss damage. Keep weapons and companion effects under control so an automatic damage source does not end the phase early.

Stela must still be collected. Use loot radar, Vacuum or Fetch where allowed, and periodic pickup passes that do not drag the squad out of formation. When the team is finished farming, switch cleanly to the boss plan and complete the mission.

Khora needs a reliable Strangledome farming setup, enough damage to clear Fragmented adds, and the durability to survive the Deep Archimedea environment. Dante maintains Overguard and support while watching for any modifier that changes casting or survival.

Weekly loadout restrictions may force substitutions. Preserve the jobs first: loot control, safe add clear, team protection, and a separate plan to finish the boss.

The small canyon tile is the preferred setup because enemy approaches are compact and the squad can keep loot coverage organized. The cave tile can work with careful placement. The large canyon spreads the fight and is usually a poor farming choice.

Once inside the arena, take a moment to identify the tile and choose a position before abilities go down. A clean setup is worth more than starting the farm ten seconds earlier in the wrong place.

The expected adds do not keep spawning: verify the weekly deviation is Relentless Tide and that the mission is the correct Assassination.

The boss dies too early: remove uncontrolled damage, redirect weapons to the adds, and keep companions from attacking the boss where possible.

Loot spreads across the arena: move the Khora coverage to the actual approach paths and stop chasing enemies outside it.

The squad cannot sustain the run: prioritize Dante protection, shorten the session, and finish the mission before a wipe loses the collected resources.
