General Description

This dungeon consists of 3 levels and is accessed from Umbral Grotto. The first level features groups of various plants, oozes, and Stone Summits. This level is passed through during the primary quest The Knowledgeable Asura. The second level begins with Stone Summit members and ends with various groups of Undead. These undeads revive after a short time so do not linger after defeating a group. The final level is very small containing only undead and the boss Zoldark the Unholy and his group of 6 Minions of Zoldark. Zoldark himself doesn't attack, rather he uses several monster specific skills to buff his minions. He doesn't heal and takes very little damage even from degen. The key to defeating him is to contintually kill his minions (AoE damage is ideal for this), as once they are dead, he uses a skill that allows him to resurrect each of his minions at a cost of a 5% health sacrifice. Eventually he will sacrifice himself to near death, at which point he will stop animating his minions. When this happens, concentrate on Zoldark and finish him.

Notes

  • The ancient undead on level 3 automatically resurrect after a few minutes but will disappear after Zoldark is killed.
  • You gain no reputation points or experience from killing resurrected undead.
  • Some areas in this dungeon are the exact same as in the Ooze Pit.
  • This dungeon has several references to the first Indiana Jones movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark from 1981:
    • The rolling boulder on the first level is a reference to the opening sequence
    • When getting the Area Map for the second level, there are several Chromatic Drakes protecting it. The party's leader says, "Drakes. Why did it have to be drakes?" – a mimicked line from when Indiana Jones becries, "Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?"
    • Taskmaster Bellock likely refers to Rene Belloq, Indiana Jones' main rival.
