Defeat the Koolich

The five-step strategy against the Koolich

The Koolich Breath

The targeted character becomes a Gobkool and loses 100 AP until the Koolich's next turn: they can only move. The spell goes out in a line up to 5 RNG, with line of sight, three times per turn but once per target, and never on turn 1.

On a summon, it kills it outright. The effect can be unbewitched: a Pandawa, a Sadida, an Enutrof or an Eniripsa frees a transformed ally. A transformed character who takes damage also gains 10 damage for two turns, stackable four times.

Summons and Peace Pipe

From turn 2, then every three turns, he summons a Cave Gobball at 3 RNG, without line of sight. One time in ten, it's a Gobkool: lots of Earth resistance, and a Bise that makes its allies invisible and gives them 5 MP. These effects can be unbewitched and end on its death.

Peace Pipe, every two turns from turn 2, dresses one of its summoned Gobballs as a Gobkool and gives it 5 MP and 200 in all characteristics for two turns. It keeps its Gobball spells: unbewitch it rather than running from it. The spell doesn't affect the Gobballs present from the start.

The monsters of the Koolich Cavern

Against the Koolich, only Cave Gobballs, elusive and not very dangerous. The rooms, on the other hand, line up ten species of Koalaks with very varied weaknesses: mix your elements. The resistances in red are their weaknesses.

In which order to kill the monsters

1. Cave Gobballs — against the Koolich, they remove AP and MP at range; any summoned Gobkool takes priority over them.
2. Mama Koalak — in the rooms, Delivery fills the field with summons.
3. Dok Alako — he heals his allies and strengthens their Earth resistance.

Preparing your run through the Koolich Cavern

A level 90 to 100 dungeon that mainly requires you to play out of lines of sight and vary your elements. People come here for the quests, the achievements, the Koolich Braids and the Koolich's soul, requested by the Ochre Dofus: plan for a Soul Stone for Average Souls (captures up to level 100).

How to enter the Koolich Cavern

The entrance is at the end of the Wild Canyon, in Koalak Mountain, at [-17,8] : you have to travel this whole “Koolich path”. The nearest zaap is the one in the Breeder Village [-16,1]. Stand on the cell in front of the Koalak Guard before talking to him. You need a Koolich Cavern Key (consumed), the keyring, or automatic group search. At the end, you are teleported to the zaap [-16,1].

Crafting the Koolich Cavern Key

It is crafted at a handyman. Four ingredients drop from the dungeon's monsters: Dok Alako Fabric, Piralak Skin, Brown Warko Boomerang and Oozing Meat. Eel (fishing), Edelweiss and Rye (harvesting) complete the recipe, along with the Fisheralak Bone.

Ingredient	Quantity	Level
Fisheralak Bone	2	84
Dok Alako Fabric	2	74
Piralak Skin	2	84
Brown Warko Boomerang	2	78
Oozing Meat	2	100
Eel	2	100
Edelweiss	2	100
Rye	2	100

Which team to bring against the Koolich

Two elements for two targets. The Koolich fears Fire and Water, the Cave Gobballs Air and Earth. Two Water or Fire characters and two Earth or Air characters eliminate everything quickly.

Unbewitching. Koolich Breath, Peace Pipe and the Gobkool's Bise can all be unbewitched. An unbewitching class is worth its weight in gold here.

Range and MP removal. All his spells have modifiable range: without RNG, he can only act in melee. MP removal and pushes keep him away.

The comfortable classes. The Pandawa, the Sadida, the Enutrof and the Eniripsa unbewitch a transformed ally or an invisible Koolich. Classes that remove range or MP, and those that play at range, also feel comfortable.

The five achievements of the Koolich Cavern

Each achievement gives 3,937,000 XP and 2 Koolich Braid, and Duo doubles the XP. Killing the Koolich before turn 2 completes Special with no constraint at all.

Achievements	Condition	Points	XP
Koolich (Special)	Defeat the Koolich in its dungeon by completing the “Keep Your Uncool” challenge.	10	3 937 000
Koolich Cavern	Defeat the Koolich in this boss's dungeon.	10	3 937 000
Koolich (Zombie)	Defeat the Koolich in its dungeon by completing the “Zombie” challenge.	10	3 937 000
Koolich (Clean Hands)	Defeat the Koolich in its dungeon by completing the “Clean Hands” challenge.	10	3 937 000
Koolich (Duo)	Defeat the Koolich in its dungeon by completing the “Duo” challenge.	20	7 874 000

Special: Keep Your Uncool

No ally may be transformed into a gobkool. Only your characters count: the Breath kills summons instead of transforming them. Remove its range and it can only transform in melee, with its pull reduced to 2 RNG. Without RNG removal, never stay lined up and in view, and keep it away with positioning and MP removal. The Breath doesn't exist on turn 1: the starting placement matters little.

Zombie

Use exactly one movement point per turn. Impossible to escape its lines by running. Count on range removal, obstacles and pushes, and plan your MP before your spells each turn.

Clean Hands

Finish off enemies without direct damage. Poisons, glyphs, traps, pushes, damage reflection and summons are allowed. Warning, Koolich Breath kills summons: keep them out of its lines.

Duo

Two characters maximum, fewer than 20 turns. One profile that removes RNG or MP, another that hits at range, ideally in different elements. Kill every Gobkool fast, then keep the Koolich away until the end.

Soul capture and the Gobkools' cave

Capturing the soul of the Koolich and the Ochre Dofus

One Soul Stone for Average Souls (captures up to level 100) is enough. The soul is used for the An Eternal Harvest quest for the Ochre Dofus, which requires the soul of every dungeon guardian.

The Gobkools' cave

On the way to the boss, caves are home to Gobkools and Cave Gobballs: it's the only place where Gobkools are found, so take the chance to complete a challenge on them and unlock their achievement. The archmonster Dokterwho the Tardisporter can also be found there.

The Koolich Cavern as a guild Expedition

The Koolich Cavern exists as a guild Expedition: a single room, the Koolich's, with 100% resistance in all elements and a completely different mechanic:

• hit on an even turn, it transforms into Gobkools the entities in a line with it; on an odd turn, those on a diagonal;
• hit a second time, it turns the already transformed entity into Maximum Kewlitude: a character or summon dies there, a Cave Gobball gains a spell and speeds up the summons;
• an Altered Gobball gains AP, MP, damage and heals; a transformed character loses their AP and becomes pacifist for one turn;
• every Gobkool that starts its turn within 2 RNG or less of an entity loses 20% resistances for two turns: place cheap summons around the Koolich, in a line on even turns or diagonally on odd turns, then hit it to transform them. The Pandawa's Bamboo Grove is ideal;
• it has 0 resistance to push damage: it can also be killed by pushing alone;
• kill the Cave Gobballs first without touching the Koolich, so that they stay without bonuses, and wait for its invisibility turn, every four turns, rather than looking for it with area spells.

Where is the Koolich Cavern?

At the end of the Wild Canyon, in Koalak Mountain, at [-17,8]. The nearest zaap is the one in the Breeder Village [-16,1].

How do you get into the Koolich Cavern?

Stand on the cell in front of the Koalak Guard, then talk to him, with a key, the keyring or via automatic group search.

What level should you do the Koolich Cavern at?

From level 90, comfortably at 100. The Koolich is level 100 and deals no damage, but its transformations punish poor positioning.

How do you avoid being turned into a Gobkool?

Never end a turn in line and in view of the Koolich, at 5 RNG or less. Remove its range and hide behind obstacles; a transformed ally can be unbewitched.

Which monster should you kill first in the Koolich Cavern?

Any summoned Gobkool, immediately. Otherwise, the Cave Gobballs, then the Koolich. If he already has two plain Gobballs, you can let them live: he won't summon any more.

Which element should you play against the Koolich?

Fire and Water, his two negative resistances. The Cave Gobballs fear Air and Earth instead.

Which stone should you use to capture the Koolich?

One Soul Stone for Average Souls (captures up to level 100). Its soul is required by the Ochre Dofus quest.

Can the Koolich Cavern be done as a duo?

Yes, it's the Duo achievement, in fewer than 20 turns. One character who removes range or MP, another who hits at range.
