Belly of the Whale

Quests linked to the Belly of the Whale

Two Albatrocious Rock quests go through the dungeon: Whaleville ends in room 4, Whalebeing is completed on the Protoz'orror. Accept them before going in, and finish Whaleville before the boss fight, as Jangakkuq's quest recommends.

Pandamonium Sings, on the Atoll of the Possessed, sends you back to Kideebom: keep a Key to the Belly of the Whale, because the key ring doesn't work for this step.

The 6 rooms of the Belly of the Whale

Six fights. Between room 2 and room 3, an annex room without monsters, the contaminated wreck of a Parafiole corporation boat, is crossed without a fight: be careful not to get contaminated there. Everywhere, the Krobes are invulnerable and the Malamoeba takes the damage in their place: the mechanic is detailed below. For each room: the setting, then the tactical view with the starting cells (blue: you, red: the monsters). Tap an image to enlarge it.

Defeat the Protoz'orror

The five-step strategy against the Protoz'orror

The Malamoeba

At the start of the fight, the first monster in initiative summons the Malamoeba, which intercepts the damage taken by all Krobes. It has 2,000 HP per living character, sidekicks included, summons not included. When a character dies, it immediately loses 2,000 HP.

Once dead, it is re-summoned by the next enemy to play. The damage it intercepts is doubled, then halved by its own protection: so it arrives intact. Apply your vulnerabilities to the Malamoeba, not to the Krobe you are hitting.

The Krobes' restorations

A Krobe that meets its condition goes into Infection for one turn; after five consecutive turns, it dies on its own. A single failed turn resets its counter to zero. Nothing forces you to handle everything at once: prioritize.

Bacterrible: no enemy within 5 Range or less when it starts its turn. Pathogerm: hit it in Earth, Fire, Water and Air every turn. Bashillus: no healing, life steal remaining allowed. Verminoculate: a character in contact with it when it starts its turn, summons not counting. Viring: no movement and no MP removal, even caused by its allies.

Two methods against the Protoz'orror

With MP removal, with an Enutrof with 190 removal on initiative: in line with the boss, he hits himself with Coin Throwing to place a glyph under himself, steps back 2 cells and pulls the Protoz'orror into it with Sieving. Shovel of Judgment and Clumsiness remove the rest of its MP, Obsolescence lowers its dodge, then he leaves its line. Repeat every two turns.

With the tank, with a character who has initiative and at least 81 Flee: let the boss hit you to place a glyph, stand next to the glyph, still in line, and hit it to pull it in. It then hits you every turn: break the tackle in line and hit it once per turn. A Pandawa doesn't need Flee: he carries a barrel, steps aside one cell with Waterfall, hits, then puts the barrel back.

The monsters of the Belly of the Whale

Five level 200 Krobes, all invulnerable: none dies under your blows, each one goes out after five consecutive turns of its Restoration condition. Your damage on them only serves to kill the Malamoeba.

In which order to kill the monsters

1. Bashillus, then Bacterrible — the former forbids all healing and can swap places with the Viring, the latter removes range and MP at a distance.
2. Viring — pushed 7 times against an obstacle, it drops to 0 MP and skips its turns until it dies.
3. Pathogerm, then Verminoculate — to be dealt with last, the Verminoculate once the Bashillus is dead, so that its tackler can be healed.

Preparing your run through the Belly of the Whale

A dungeon for teams of level 190 to 200 who plan their turns rather than hit hard: each Krobe is killed by a condition, not by damage. People come for Whalebeing, the achievements, the Protoz'orror Nucleus and the capture with a Soul Stone for Gigantic Souls.

How to enter the Belly of the Whale

The entrance is on Albatrocious Rock, island of Frigost, at [-85,-59] ; the nearest zaap is the one at Albatrocious Rock [-83,-60], and the Permafrost Port boat [-84,-40] leads there too. Three ways to open it: a Key to the Belly of the Whale (consumed), the key ring if it is registered there, or automatic group search.

Crafting the Key to the Belly of the Whale

It is crafted at a handyman's. Four ingredients drop from the dungeon's Krobes, at 12%: Bashillus Leg, Verminoculate Eye, Bacterrible Antenna and Viring Shell, as well as Tasty Meat. Icefish (fishing), Snowdrop and Frosteez (harvesting) complete the recipe.

Ingredient	Quantity	Level
Bashillus Leg	2	200
Verminoculate Eye	2	200
Bacterrible Antenna	2	200
Viring Shell	2	200
Tasty Meat	2	200
Icefish	1	200
Snowdrop	1	200
Frosteez	1	200

Which team to bring against the Protoz'orror

A positioner who has the initiative. The character who puts the Protoz'orror in the glyph must play first. Ideal: an Enutrof with 190 MP removal, who damages himself with Coin Throwing. Failing that, a tank with 81 Flee or a Pandawa.

Four elements and area spells. The Pathogerm must be hit in four elements every turn, and the Malamoeba falls faster when your area spells hit several Krobes. Ranged classes help, without being mandatory.

Held-back healing. As long as the Bashillus lives, no healing: only life steal is allowed. Save your healing for the Verminoculate's tackler and for the boss's tank, once the Bashillus is dead.

The classes that fit best. The Enutrof is the centerpiece: Coin Throwing, Sieving, Shovel of Judgment, Clumsiness and Obsolescence to place and immobilize the boss, Animated Bag and Corruption to protect the Verminoculate's tackler. The Pandawa tanks the boss without Flee thanks to Waterfall, the Eliotrope shines in the Statue achievement and in Duo.

The five achievements of the Belly of the Whale

Each achievement gives 200,000,000 XP and 2 Protoz'orror Nucleus, the Duo doubles the XP. “Can I Get a Boom?” is played with the basic strategy, as long as you have enough damage to kill the Malamoeba every turn.

Protoz'orror (Duo)	Defeat the Protoz'orror in its dungeon by completing the “Duo” challenge.	20	400 000 000

Special: Can I Get a Boom?

The Malamoeba must always be killed before the start of its next turn. You have only one turn to kill it, at 2,000 HP per character. Follow the basic strategy, preferably with a tank, the MP removal method being more random. Eliminate the Bashillus and the Viring first and keep the Verminoculate for last, in order to hit in an area. Vulnerabilities on the Malamoeba; a character's death removes 2,000 HP from it.

Barbaric

Allied characters must finish off enemies with a weapon. A weapon hit on a Krobe or on the Protoz'orror isn't enough: the weapon must hit the Malamoeba, dealing damage, a hit for 0 making the achievement fail. A 2 AP weapon makes the task easier, like the Treechnid Root Bow, which also gives 1 AP. Prefer the MP removal method.

Statue

Allied fighters must end their turn on the same cell where they started it, for the entire fight. The simplest lineup: Enutrof with MP removal, Eliotrope and Pandawa. The Enutrof has the initiative (an Abyssal helps), the Pandawa a spell that throws an ally without line of sight, like Chamrak, the Eliotrope Cabal. Line the team up in a file, Enutrof in front, and drain the Viring of its MP with pushes. Thanks to the Eliotrope's portals, the Enutrof goes around each time: Coin Throwing in front of the portal lined up with the boss, Sieving or Shovel of Judgment to pull it into the glyph, then back to its cell. The Verminoculate is tanked last, when it comes into contact with you.

Duo

Two characters at most, in under 40 turns. The basic strategy works with a Pandawa, an Enutrof or an Eliotrope and another class. The Pandawa tanks the boss with Waterfall, the Enutrof places it with MP removal. With two, the Malamoeba has only 4,000 HP. Everything must be done before turn 40.

The Belly of the Whale as a guild Expedition

The Belly exists in two Guild Expeditions, Audacious and Valour, each with its own modifier:

• Audacious: outside Infection, the Protoz'orror is no longer immovable and is pulled in on every hit in line, not just the first. Push it, carry it or throw it directly into a glyph;
• each boss movement deals to the one responsible a start-of-turn Air poison, cumulative: don't overdo it. Infected, it becomes immovable again but is still pulled on every hit in line, which frees the character on initiative;
• Valour: the Malamoeba has 4,000 HP per character, and its summoner gains 2 MP and the untackleable state as long as it lives. At the start of the fight, it is always the Protoz'orror that summons it;
• with an Enutrof on initiative, keep the boss for last: infected, it has 9 MP each turn. On the turn it casts Infection, hitting an ally doesn't place a glyph: place it in a glyph on the previous turn;
• without MP removal, keep a Bashillus or a Verminoculate alive so that it re-summons the Malamoeba in place of the boss: finish it with a character who plays between the Protoz'orror and that monster. A tackler with 160 Tackle or more, on initiative, positions the boss;
• if you keep the Bashillus, heal a little so it doesn't die after 5 turns. A character who hits little can also die on purpose: the Malamoeba loses 4,000 HP.
