Quests linked to Kanigrula's Cave

The dungeon quest, Ixnay on the Idnappingkay, grants the Bowzai pet. Bontarians and Brakmarians each have their own, which goes through Kanigrula. Accept them before entering: a fight won without the quest in progress does not count.

The 5 rooms of Kanigrula's Cave

Five fights, Kanigrula in the last room. The rooms are cluttered: use the obstacles to cut the lines of sight of the Kanigs, who hit up to 12 Range. For each room: the scenery, then the tactical view with the starting cells (blue: you, red: the monsters). Tap an image to enlarge it.

Kanigrula and her Kanigs. Let her flee and kill the monsters first: the strategy is detailed just below.

Defeat Kanigrula

The five-step strategy against Kanigrula

Kanigrula's effects

At the start of the fight, she casts four permanent effects. Bestial Smell reveals your invisible characters on each of her turns. Savagery strengthens the surviving monsters when she dies, Stinking Death weakens you with each monster killed, cumulatively.

Finally, Wild Pheromones: at the start and end of each character's turn, monsters within 2 cells of them gain 10% critical and 100 power for one turn, cumulatively. Ending your turn in the middle of the monsters makes them far more dangerous.

Captivating Motivation

From turn 2, every other turn, Kanigrula gives 3 AP to all her allies and boosts their spells for one turn: the Kanazure casts Blazing Lance one more time and heals better, the Orfan chains Spinning Top and recasts Cover-Up faster, the Kannihilator recasts Grrr sooner. On those turns, back away. From turn 3, Alpha Bowzai kills a summon every other turn: don't count on summons to hold out.

The monsters of Kanigrula's Cave

Five Kanigs of level 150 to 152, who hit hard, at range and in melee. Resistances in red are their weaknesses.

In which order to kill the monsters

1. Kanazure — it hits hard at range and heals its allies.
2. Orfan — very dangerous in melee; hit it at range because of Cover-Up.
3. Kannihilator — it charges at you and reflects ranged spells under Grrr.
4. Bigheera, then Felygiene — depending on their position: one hits in melee, the other harasses up to 12 Range.

Preparing your run through Kanigrula's Cave

A dungeon for level 150 to 160 teams able to hit at range and vary their elements. People come for Ixnay on the Idnappingkay and its pet, the alignment quests, the achievements and Kanigrula's soul, with a Soul Stone for Huge Souls (captures up to level 200).

How to enter Kanigrula's Cave

The entrance is in the Stontusk Desert, at [-5,-54] ; the nearest zaap is the one in Kanig Village [0,-56]. Three ways to open it: a Kanigrula's Cave Key (consumed), the key ring if it is registered there, or automatic group search.

Crafting the Kanigrula's Cave Key

It is crafted at a handyman's workshop. Five ingredients drop from the dungeon's Kanigs, at 22%: Felygiene Claw, Bigheera Chain, Kanazure Ear, Orfan Mane and Fresh Meat. Lard Bass (fishing), Belladonna and Corn (harvesting) complete the recipe.

Ingredient	Quantity	Level
Felygiene Claw	2	154
Bigheera Chain	2	154
Kanazure Ear	2	155
Orfan Mane	2	155
Fresh Meat	2	160
Lard Bass	2	160
Belladonna	2	160
Corn	2	160

Which team to bring against Kanigrula

Ranged damage. The Orfan and Kanigrula hit from afar, and the Kanazure heals up to 6 Range. A team that plays at range also keeps the monsters away, which limits Wild Pheromones.

Several elements. Each Kanig has its own weakness: Fire and Neutral for the Kanazure, Water for the Orfan, Air for the Bigheera, Earth for the Felygiene. Vary your elements to kill each one quickly.

Few summons. Alpha Bowzai and Leaping Balls kill summons, and Bestial Smell reveals invisible characters: don't build your strategy on them.

Classes that are comfortable with it. Classes that hit hard at range and in several elements are the most comfortable. Invisibility and summoning classes lose some of their strengths against Bestial Smell and Alpha Bowzai.

The six achievements of Kanigrula's Cave

First

Kanigrula must be finished first. Focus Kanigrula quickly: the Kanazure heals her and the other monsters hit hard fast. Keep the Orfan at range, and the Kannihilator if possible. Once Kanigrula is dead, all her allies gain MP, power and resistances: finish the fight fast.

Impertinence

Allied fighters must end their turn on a cell adjacent to an enemy's. Kill the Orfan very quickly, ideally before it casts Cover-Up. Depending on your damage, then move on to Kanigrula or the Kanazure, who heals her: with low damage, the Kanazure first. Keep the Kannihilator for last: Kanigrula and the Kanazure flee, leaving it an available neighbor.

Special: Close Combite

Enemy fighters must not suffer any attempts to inflict ranged damage. In melee, Wild Pheromones boost the monsters' power and critical: they will hit a bit harder. Beware of the Orfan, whose Cover-Up greatly reduces damage in melee. Kill the monsters first, starting with the Kanazure who heals.

Duo

Two characters maximum, fewer than 20 turns. Follow the basic strategy with two characters: Kanazure, Orfan, Kannihilator, then Kanigrula.

Sidekick: Magik Riktus Bandits

Four characters minimum, including an eligible Riktus companion: fencer, archer, rover or enchantress. The fight plays out as usual: keep the companion away from the monsters, so as not to feed Wild Pheromones, and out of the Orfan's reach.

Soul capture and pet

Capturing the soul of Kanigrula

One Soul Stone for Huge Souls (captures up to level 200) is enough for Kanigrula, who is level 160. Throw it when she is alone and weakened.

Stone ingredient	Quantity
Majestic Soul Splinter	10
Alteration Potion	2

The Bowzai pet

It is the reward for Ixnay on the Idnappingkay: Brhedd Butter hands it to you after the victory over Kanigrula. It gives 2 summons and 1 MP.

Kanigrula's Cave as a guild Expedition

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

• Audacious: all monsters have 3 more MP, and at the start of her turn, Kanigrula gives 10% critical and 100 power to your characters within 2 cells of her. Place her near you before her turn to take advantage;
• Valour: all enemies gain 100 stats at the start of each character's turn, and Kanigrula gains 1 MP for each monster killed. You have to be fast: high-damage classes, or even a Cloudy Dofus to kill as many as possible on turn 1;
• in both, kill the monsters in this order: Orfan, Kanazure, Kannihilator, then Kanigrula.

In the Stontusk Desert, at [-5,-54]. The nearest zaap is the one in Kanig Village [0,-56].

At what level should I do Kanigrula's Cave?

From level 150, comfortably at 160. The Kanigs hit hard for this level: the dungeon is rated very hard.

Which quest should I do in Kanigrula's Cave?

Ixnay on the Idnappingkay, at Chief Krokuto's [-9,-49] : it grants the Bowzai pet. Aligned players add Defensive Preparation for Brakmar or The Subterfuge of the Horn for Bonta.

The Kanazure, which hits at range and heals its allies. Next come the Orfan, at range, then the Kannihilator.

Hit it in melee, or wait for the effect to end. Grrr reflects spells cast at range for one turn, not those cast in melee.
