Defeat Captain Meno

The five-step strategy against Captain Meno

The Unstable Mutation

At the start of each turn, a dungeon monster takes a Mutation state depending on its HP: none above 75%, Mutation I down to 51%, II down to 26%, III below that. Each mutation unlocks an extra spell, stronger at each tier, and Mutation II gives it 1 more MP.

To remove the state, push the monster without dealing any push damage to it. Keep a spell of this type available, especially against a monster in Mutation III.

Monsters that die on their own

Against Captain Meno, all monsters, whether present at the start or summoned, are invulnerable, lose 25% of their max HP each turn and die on their own after 4 turns. They also lose 1 MP for the whole fight. Their four turns of life match the four mutation tiers: each turn, they are more dangerous.

With four players, the summons always follow the same cycle: Yoloinist Crab and Mol Usk on turn 2, Gambasmak and Mantaze on turn 3, Mol Usk and Litlamprey on turn 4, Yoloinist Crab and Gambasmak on turn 5, Mantaze and Litlamprey on turn 6, then back to the start.

Crystallisation Glyphs

Crystallisation places a one-cell glyph under its target, which stays until the end of the fight. At the start of Meno's turn, each occupied glyph triggers: 1,000 shield for the character inside, but heavy Fire damage for any character lined up with them within 5 range or less. Triggering also reveals invisible entities.

An empty glyph at the start of his turn does nothing. The ideal: one glyph per character, and a team arranged diagonally.

The monsters of Captain Meno's Ship

Five level 200 underwater ruin monsters. Against Meno, you don't kill them: they die on their own after 4 turns. The order below is that of the threats to neutralize first, through pushback, MP removal or healing. The resistances in red are their weaknesses.

In which order to kill the monsters

1. Mantaze — it hits characters in the Driver state very hard at range: heal them to take away its target.
2. Mol Usk — it doesn't hit very hard but removes AP from very far away.
3. Yoloinist Crab — in mutation III, it pulls from afar and hits very hard in melee: push it back first when it is low on HP.
4. Gambasmak, then Litlamprey — not very troublesome kept at range, as long as you avoid the Litlamprey's Parasitic Trap.

Preparing your run through Captain Meno's Ship

A level 190 to 200 dungeon rated medium difficulty, but long: the goal is to survive about ten turns, long enough for your damage to build up. You come here for Crystal Trap and the rest of the Depths series, the Totem of Sadness and the achievements. Captain Meno cannot be captured.

How to enter Captain Meno's Ship

The entrance is in the Submerged City in the Depths of Sufokia, at [24,27] ; the nearest zaap is the one at Sufokia [13,26], and access to the Depths is at Sufokia, at [23,24]. There are three ways to open it: a Captain Meno's Ship Key (consumed), the keyring if it is registered there, or the automatic group finder.

Crafting the Captain Meno's Ship Key

It is crafted at a handyman's workshop. Three ingredients drop from the dungeon monsters, at 12%: Mol Usk Slobber, Yoloinist Crab Claw and Gambasmak Scale. Mahaquany Wood, Sepiolite, Limpet, Salikronia and Quisnoa complete the recipe.

Ingredient	Quantity	Level
Mol Usk Slobber	2	200
Yoloinist Crab Claw	2	200
Gambasmak Scale	2	200
Mahaquany Wood	1	200
Sepiolite	1	200
Limpet	1	200

Which team to bring against Captain Meno

MP removal and pushback. The monsters don't die under your blows: you have to keep them away for four turns, wave after wave. Cra, Enutrof and Sadida are ideal, with their MP removal and ranged pushbacks.

Poisons and erosion. Meno halves direct damage, not poisons, and erosion counters his heals. A poison character buys you several turns.

Enough to heal or protect. A heal removes the Driver state and deprives the Mantaze of Marine Lightning. Eniripsa, Masqueraider or Feca make the fight calmer: less damage taken means fewer heals for Meno.

The classes that fit best. The Cra, Enutrof and Sadida remove MP and push back at range; Eniripsa, Masqueraider and Feca protect or heal. For the Blitzkrieg, an Eliotrope and Iop pair deals the most damage; for the Duo, the Feca with his Pavise or the Sram with his poisons.

The six achievements of Captain Meno's Ship

Each achievement gives 200,000,000 XP and 2 Meno's Hair, Duo doubles the XP; Sidekick gives 75,000,000 XP. Cautious poses almost no difficulty, apart from the Parasitic Trap.

Blitzkrieg

Every enemy attacked must die before its next turn. Don't touch Captain Meno before you can remove his 40,000 HP, more beyond 4 loot, in a single turn. So you have to survive much longer: about fifteen turns with an Eliotrope and an Iop, about thirty with a single Cra. Don't hit any monster: invulnerable, they can't die before their turn.

Cautious

No ally should end its turn next to an enemy. The only trap is Parasitic Trap: the Litlamprey places it under one of your characters, in a diagonal cross, and teleports next to them if they trigger it. If you start your turn with traps on your diagonals, don't step on any of those four cells.

Special: The Scent of Mutiny

Each ally must end their turn in line with another ally. Not very difficult, but the glyphs become tricky to use: their line damage would hit your lined-up allies. To keep the shield, end in line with an ally but out of range of that damage. The fastest is still to erode Meno and hit him every turn, to finish in 7 to 10 turns, with a character who removes MP from the summons.

Duo

Two characters maximum, fewer than 40 turns. Many duos work. The Feca hides behind his Pavise, invulnerable at range and blocking lines of sight, preferably played Water. The Air Sram kills Meno in 10 turns or fewer with the Mist and his poisons; on the turns without Mist, fall back to the back of the map behind a plotter to cut the lines of sight.

Sidekick: Magik Riktus Bandits

At least four characters, including an eligible Riktus Sidekick (fine-blade, archer, rover or enchantress). Build the team directly with the Sidekick. The fight plays out as usual: control the monsters and let their natural HP loss do the work.

Captain Meno's Ship as a guild Expedition

The ship exists in two guild Expeditions, Audacious and Valour, each with its own modifier:

• Audacious: the monsters stay invulnerable, gain 4 MP and start at half their HP, so in Mutation II, then III, and die after 2 turns;
• they play right after Meno and reach you quickly on the first turn: stand in a corner, far from the center where they appear. Four monsters at all times at 4 and 5 loot, six at 6 and 7 loot, eight at 8 loot;
• Valour: no more Unstable Mutation, the monsters are no longer invulnerable and no longer lose HP. You have to kill them, including those from the start of the fight;
• two options: Meno first, kept close to you and eroded every turn, with a Sadida who removes MP from the whole map through the infected state; or the monsters first, with area damage (Earth Sadida, Cra, Iop) once your damage has built up;
• in Valour, Mantazes and Yoloinist Crabs first, then Gambasmaks and Mol Usk;
• in both, erode Meno every turn: erosion is doubly effective there, and counters the heals your damage taken gives him.
