The 5 rooms of the Gob Akademy
Five fights up to Director Grunob, in the last room. Throughout, goblins that start their turn grouped hit harder: split them up as soon as the damage goes up. 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
Before the fight, go into the wardrobe at the back of the map and click the scroll on the table on the right: you learn the spell Grunob's Lightning Strike.
Room 2
Room 3
Room 4
Room 5 — Director Grunob
Director Grunob and his students; in a small group, no Goballista in this room. The strategy is detailed just below.
Beat Director Grunob
Teamwork!
All the goblins, director included, gain 5% final damage for one turn per goblin within 2 cells of them when they start their turn. A tight group hits much harder: push them away from one another.

He has only one damage spell, Gob Vintage, cast up to 6 range, which also pulls his goblins toward you. Educational Sermon gives 2 MP to his allies and Bow Meowgobert summons Dagobert. Weak point: Earth and Fire; Air and Water are what he withstands best.

Gob Vintage3 AP · 6 range ·19 to 23 Water damage · Pulls 2 cells
His only damage spell, up to 6 range: it also pulls the monsters around the target 2 cells. Stay out of range.
The three-step strategy against Director Grunob
Students first. Kill the monsters accompanying the director first: they have few HP and fall quickly. If a Goballista is present, take it out first, as it is the only one that hits from afar.
Dagobert as soon as he appears. Bow Meowgobert summons Dagobert, a cat whose Irritating Meow steals 1 AP from the characters around him. Kill him as soon as he is summoned: the spell only comes back 4 turns later.
Grunob at range. Once the monsters are dead, hit the director while staying beyond 6 range: that is the range of his only damage spell. Kill Dagobert again if he comes back, then keep hitting until the end.
The monsters of the Gob Akademy
Five level 32 goblins, fragile, that strengthen each other when they play grouped. Resistances in red are their weaknesses.
In which order to kill the monsters
- Goballista — the only one that hits from afar, up to 9 range, and it removes range.
- Gobdoroad, then Gobnoramus, then Gobelishous, then Gob-Trotter — few HP: kill them quickly, keeping them apart from one another.

Preparing your run through the Gob Akademy
A medium-difficulty dungeon for teams of level 30 to 40, ideal for learning to split up a group. You come here for the quests, the spell Grunob's Lightning Strike, the achievements and the director's soul for the Ochre Dofus, with a Soul Stone for Small Souls (captures up to level 50).
How to enter the Gob Akademy
The entrance is in the Goblin Camp, at . Three ways to open it: a Gob Akademy Key (consumed), the key ring if it is registered there, or the automatic group finder. Educational Dungeon gives you a key.
Crafting the Gob Akademy Key
It is crafted by a handyman. Five ingredients drop from the dungeon's goblins, at 51%: Gob-Trotter Spyglass, Gobdoroad's Drum, Goballista Cap, Gobnoramus's Lance Head and Mineral Meat. Kittenfish (fishing), 5-leaf Clubs and Oats (harvesting) complete the recipe.

Which team to bring against Director Grunob
Play at range. Only the Goballista reaches far: a team that stays at a distance takes little damage, and holds the director beyond his 6 range.
Pushes. Pushing the goblins away from one another cuts off Teamwork! and keeps you out of their reach, which also helps for the Nomad achievement.
Classes that feel at ease. All ranged classes are comfortable here, especially those that push back. Melee classes get through too, by separating the goblins before hitting.
The six achievements of the Gob Akademy
Each achievement gives 220,000 XP and 2 Director Grunob's Manual, Duo doubles it; Sidekick gives 330,000 XP. Special imposes nothing if you kill everything on turn 1.
| Achievements | Condition | Points | XP |

| Director Grunob (First) |
Defeat Director Grunob in his dungeon while completing the “First” challenge. | 10 | 220 000 |
Nomad
Allied fighters must use all their movement points every turn. Partial dodging fails the challenge. Use all your MP every turn and never get tackled: stay at a distance, because a goblin in contact will make you fail if you lack dodge. Push spells help keep monsters away or free yourself.
First
Director Grunob must be finished off first. Killing Dagobert doesn't fail the achievement. Keep the goblins at a distance while you kill the director: the more damage you have, the easier it is. The danger is missing him before his students reach you.
Special: Team-Busting Exercise
From turn 2, enemy fighters must start their turn on a cell adjacent to an ally or an enemy. No particular difficulty: from turn 2, every enemy must have an entity in contact with it at the start of its turn, whether a goblin or one of your characters. No constraint if you kill everything on turn 1.
Duo
Two characters maximum, fewer than 20 turns. Any team composition works: the basic strategy is enough, with two.
Sidekick: Garbage Pail Sidekicks
At least four characters, including an eligible companion: Grute, Goboff, Rint or Piggy Paupe. The fight plays out as usual: let the companion keep the goblins busy while your characters deal with the director.

Soul capture, Ochre Dofus and Grunob's Lightning Strike
Capturing the soul of Director Grunob and the Ochre Dofus
