Cursed Araknas Temple

Quests linked to the Cursed Araknas Temple

The temple is at the heart of two twin alignment quests: Qu'Tan's Ascent for Bonta, Qu'Tan's Development for Brakmar. Both first require unsealing the entrance, then defeating Qu'Tan in a single fight: arrive at the temple with the quest in progress, as it is what opens the door for you.

The 4 rooms of the Cursed Araknas Temple

Four maps loaded with obstacles, for three fights: two rooms of Shushus, then Qu'Tan, in room 4 below. Use the obstacles to cut lines of sight, without trapping yourself where Injustice can pull you. For each room: the scenery, then the tactical view with the starting cells (blue: you, red: the monsters). Tap an image to enlarge it.

Room 1

Room 2

Room 3

Room 4 — Qu'Tan

Qu'Tan's room. As long as one of his Imps has not triggered his vulnerability, he is invulnerable and shares damage with the other monsters. The method is detailed below, in the section on Qu'Tan.

Defeat Qu'Tan

The Imps

Qu'Tan summons Imptin, Rackimp and Juss Imperlaik: each opens a different method, and the vulnerability lasts only 2 turns. For Imptin, kill it in contact with Qu'Tan, without carrying it. For Rackimp, the marked character must start their turn in contact with Qu'Tan, then make sure Qu'Tan starts and ends his turn in contact with them. For Juss Imperlaik, push it into contact with a character, who receives the Insync state, place that character in contact with Qu'Tan and hit them with a weapon.

The dead who come back

Eternal Servitude brings back the last dead ally with all their HP. Right after killing an important target, kill an Imp: it is the one that will come back. Avoid killing a dangerous monster too early, and quickly finish off a resurrected target.

Pentacle and Intym

During the vulnerability window, hit Qu'Tan from more than 3 cells away. Never step on Pentacle's black glyph: a cell of this glyph kills instantly. If you kill Juss Imperlaik, move your characters out of its area before its death or before the end of its 4 turns, because Intym kills nearby characters.

The monsters of the Cursed Araknas Temple

Qu'Tan and four level-186 Shushus, each weak in a different element. Two of them can kill outright in melee: Qu'Tan and the Pica-Shu. The resistances in red are their weaknesses.

In which order to kill the monsters

1. Pica-Shu — its Funder can kill in melee, and Toned Air removes a portion of your HP at range.
2. Mewlu-Shu, then Shuckle-Shu — one pulls you, the other lowers your resistances and gains MP: they break your positioning.
3. Bidoo-Shu — above all patience: do not hit it during its damage reflect.

Preparing your run through the Cursed Araknas Temple

A hard dungeon for groups of level 176 to 186, with no achievements or loot of its own: people come for the alignment quests Qu'Tan's Ascent and Qu'Tan's Development. Come with several players, with area spells and range.

How to enter the Cursed Araknas Temple

The entrance is in the Sidimote Moors, in [-10,22] ; the nearest zaap is the one in the Primitive Cemetery [-12,19]. The character who has the quest pulls the lever to unseal the entrance, then talks to the Araknas Disciple: their progress lets them in without a key. Their companions without that progress need a Cursed Temple Key. No key ring or automatic group search for this dungeon.

Crafting the Cursed Temple Key

Its recipe is found, with the instructions, in the Araknas Chest won during the quest. Almost everything comes from harvesting and fishing: 10 Mandrake, 10 Millet, 10 Elm Wood, 10 Dolomite, 10 Tench, plus one Spoiled Meat.

Ingredient	Quantity	Level
Mandrake	10	180
Millet	10	180
Elm Wood	10	180
Dolomite	10	180
Tench	10	180
Spoiled Meat	1	180

Which team to bring against Qu'Tan

Area spells. In Qu'Tan's room, the monsters share the damage they receive. Area attacks spread your damage and make both the rooms and the final fight easier.

Range. Qu'Tan and the Pica-Shu can kill in melee, and Qu'Tan removes power around him when he is hit. Hit Qu'Tan from more than 3 cells away, and never let an isolated character end their turn next to him.

A melee weapon. Juss Imperlaik's method requires hitting an ally with a weapon, in contact with Qu'Tan: plan at least one character able to do so.

Where is the Cursed Araknas Temple?

In the Sidimote Moors, in [-10,22]. The nearest zaap is the one in the Primitive Cemetery [-12,19].

At what level should you do the Cursed Araknas Temple?

Level 176 minimum, 186 recommended. Qu'Tan and his Shushus are level 186, and Qu'Tan has 15,000 HP.

Which quest should you do in the Cursed Araknas Temple?

Qu'Tan's Ascent for Bonta, Qu'Tan's Development for Brakmar. Both open the temple and are completed by defeating Qu'Tan in a single fight.

Do you need a key to enter?

Not for the character who has the quest, who pulls the lever and enters through the Araknas Disciple. Their companions without that progress need a Cursed Temple Key.

How do you make Qu'Tan vulnerable?

Thanks to one of its three Imps. Kill Imptin in contact with it, follow Rackimp's placement, or push Juss Imperlaik onto an ally whom you then hit with a weapon in contact with Qu'Tan.

Which monster should you target first in the Cursed Araknas Temple?

The Pica-Shu, whose Funder can kill in melee. The Mewlu-Shu and the Shuckle-Shu, which break your positioning, follow.

How do you avoid instant kills?

Avoid contact with Qu'Tan and the Pica-Shu, never step on the Pentacle glyph, and move away from Juss Imperlaik when it dies.

Why does a monster come back with all its HP?

It is Eternal Servitude. Qu'Tan brings back the last dead ally: kill an Imp right after an important target so that it is the one that comes back.

Which element should you play against Qu'Tan?

Air or Water, his two negative resistances. He rises to 40% in Earth, 45% in Fire and 50% in Neutral.
