Partial map below of the first 2 rooms.  Upon entering the instance you will be in the lower round room.  There is a single mob called "Camera".  Attack it disappears at which time the first set of doors opens up revealing 100+ mobs.

While individually weak, there are still 100 of them.  Drop a bubble from your mage to deal with them quickly before they overwhelm you.  (Make sure you buy the "Magic Symbol" item needed to cast a bubble from the basement of Ivory Tower!)

After killing all of the mobs in this room, the door opens to the 2nd room, go town the hallway and into the 2nd room.  You will see 4 skeletons in the middle of the room.  Kill them and again the doors will open revealing more mobs.  This room is much easier than the first and doesn't require a bubble.  Run around the room killing all the mobs.  When done, the door to the 3rd and final room will open.

Mobs in the first two rooms drop the below item.  You can use it to destroy the paintings called "Evil Spirit" in the boss room.  I don't recall what doing this does for you, at least here on L2Toggle I have noticed no improvement for destroying them nor penalty for not destroying them.

After a brief wait Frintezza will appear and starts playing the organ.  Scarlet Van Halisha appears and starts whacking away at you.  The boss is very easy depending on your party makeup and gear.  Just a matter of time when it dies for you.  There is no 'trick' or 'skill' here, just beat the hell out of the boss.  The boss has three stages.  Other than the animations and the boss getting bigger there is not much difference in the way the boss acts at each stage.  I suppose it gets minimally more difficult at each stage.

Reward: Your reward on this one is Frintezza's necklace and a chance at Vorpal armor and Vesper weapons as well as other forgotten scrolls.  Frintezza is one of the few ways in the game to get Vorpal Shoes.  The Vorpal Robe set is by far the best healer robe set in the game.  The Necklace increases resistance to sleep/stun/para by 15% and increases the chance of you landing sleep/stun/para by 15% which is great for any class, especially warlords and tanks.  The necklace also decreases skill re-use time and has a passive damage shield effect.

One note is the Frintezza instance continues for 15 minutes after the boss dies, this is 3x longer than the regular 5 minutes you have after Zaken and Freya, for this reason, if you are instance farming, I recommend farming Frintezza LAST.
