The four-step strategy against Gourlo the Terrible
Positioning behind obstacles. Put fragile characters behind obstacles and give no direct line to the Cannon Dorf and the Boomba. Move away from Gourlo before his turn: Bombard only goes off in melee.
The Hazwonarm first. It is the most urgent threat. Each hit it takes gives it 1 MP for a turn: kill it in one turn, before it reaches a weakened character.
Cannon Dorf and Boomba. The Cannon Dorf pushes back and removes 25% resistances, the Boomba erodes and makes its neighbors invisible. Then kill them, breaking their lines to reduce the damage you take.
The Ark's pirates. Barbrossa, Ze Flib, and Sparo come after, as long as you keep them at a distance. Their AP, MP, and power removal becomes a priority as soon as an ally is isolated.
The monsters of the Hold of Otomai's Ark
Six pirates: three from the Ark, of level 56 to 58, and three Moon pirates of level 82, sturdier. The Hazwonarm comes before everything else. The resistances in red are their weaknesses.
In which order to kill the monsters
- Hazwonarm — it pulls its whole line and kills in melee below 50% HP.
- Cannon Dorf — it pushes back and removes 25% resistances around it.
- Boomba — it erodes from a distance and makes its neighbors invisible.
- Ze Flib, then Sparo, then Barbrossa — fragile, they are mostly a nuisance through their removals and Barbrossa's place swap.

Preparing your run through the Hold of Otomai's Ark
A level 60 to 70 dungeon for teams that know how to position themselves behind obstacles and handle an instant kill in melee. People come here for Shiver Me Timbers!, Gourlo's Wrecked Shorts, and the boss's soul, required by the Ochre Dofus: bring a Soul Stone for Average Souls (captures up to level 100).
How to enter the Hold of Otomai's Ark
The entrance is in Otomai's Ark, on Otomai Island, at ; the nearest zaap is the one in Canopy Village . You must have completed The Death Bridge Keeper to reach the Bottomless Peat Bog and the Ark. Then: an Otomai's Ark Key (consumed), the keyring, or the automatic group search.

Which team to bring against Gourlo the Terrible
Air, Fire, and Earth. The pirates have very different weaknesses: Air, Fire, and Earth cover Ze Flib, the Cannon Dorf, Sparo, Barbrossa, and the Hazwonarm.
Something to hinder the Hazwonarm. MP removal, pushes, or healing to stay above 50%: a team that neutralizes the Hazwonarm gains a lot of safety.
The classes that are comfortable here. Healing classes, and those that push back or remove MP, are the most comfortable against the Hazwonarm and Barbrossa's place swaps.

Special: Buccaneer Barrels
All enemies must suffer the effects of a pirate barrel at least once. Have each enemy hit by a barrel before finishing it off, keeping track of those already done, Gourlo included.
First
Gourlo the Terrible must be finished off first. Keep Gourlo as your target as soon as he is reachable, and control the other pirates without finishing them off: removal, positioning, distance.
Scanty
Never use the same action twice in the whole fight. Prepare a rotation for each character and keep track of the spells already used. Beware of reflex repetitions, especially in the last turns.
Duo
Two characters maximum, fewer than 20 turns. Kill the Hazwonarm first, then advance without scattering, sheltered behind obstacles.
Sidekick: From Beyond the Grave
Four characters minimum, including an allowed sidekick: Koksiks, Kubitus, Kalkaneus, Ektope, or Hichete. The basic strategy applies. The sidekick must be part of the group until victory: keep it away from the Hazwonarm.
Drops and loot of the Hold of Otomai's Ark
Base drop rate from the game, before Prospecting bonus. Gourlo's Wrecked Shorts drop at 43% from the boss.
