Octopus Cave

Guide

Octopus Cave is a light-hearted Malangdo memorial. A perverted octopus has been grabbing at the Starfish lady, so you cut off its four legs in the four wings of its cave and then skewer the Giant Octopus #2194 itself.

Requirements and entry
Party Required. Only the party leader can open the cave.
Required item A rented Octopus Hunting Skewer #6442, needed by every member who enters
NPC Starfish at /navi mal_dun01 151/235
Entrance Weird Entrance at /navi mal_dun01 153/237
Time limit 1 hour
Cooldown 1 hour, starting when you enter. While it runs you can only re-enter the cave you entered, not a new one.

The leader talks to the Starfish and picks Ask to open the gate. Then everyone uses the Weird Entrance and picks Go in.

Bring the skewer

Both the Starfish and the Weird Entrance check for a rental Octopus Hunting Skewer #6442. Anyone without one is turned away at the entrance. The skewer comes from the Octopus Hstick Box #16765 (23 hours), Octopus Hstick Box2 #16766 (3 days) or Octopus Hstick Box3 #16767 (7 days).

Walkthrough

The four legs

  1. When you step forward from the entrance (199/99), the octopus taunts you. Four Octopus Leg #2193 spawn, one at the far end of each wing of the cave:

    Leg Location
    Octopus Leg #1 West wing, 20/114
    Octopus Leg #2 North-west wing, 88/190
    Octopus Leg #3 North-east wing, 307/215
    Octopus Leg #4 East wing, 372/131

  2. The paths to each leg are lined with Octopus #2192 henchmen, Hydra #1068 and Stapo #1784. A few spots along the way set off extra ambushes when you walk over them, including one with Deep Sea Marse #2175 squids.

  3. When you get close to a leg, it calls for help, and two more groups of henchmen spawn 5 seconds later. A warp back to the central hall (198/99) opens once all of that leg's henchmen are dead, or 30 seconds after you reach the leg, whichever comes first.
  4. The doors in the central hall connect all four wings, so you can split the party up and take the legs in parallel.

The Giant Octopus

  1. When the fourth leg dies, the whole party is pulled back to the central hall and a warp to the boss room opens at 198/116.
  2. The Giant Octopus #2194 (named Disgusting Octopus) waits at 199/188. Every 10 seconds it summons either one Octopus Leg #2193 or five Octopus #2192 around itself, up to 100 adds at a time.
  3. Kill the octopus. Its leftover adds disappear and two exits open, at 190/208 and 198/82.

Tip

The boss keeps adding monsters every 10 seconds for as long as it is alive. Focus it down instead of clearing every add.
